I can see it some here in Alabama as blue-collar workers in car plants in Alabama are now making EV’s. Plus a huge portion of Alabama’s middle-class and upper-class population lives in houses (where it’s easy to charge).
What good is it to have a house to plug your car into if there isn’t available power to support the increased demand?
How many new power plants have gone up to supply those homes with power they need?
Kia is building a new plant to build evs in Georgia.

i had to laugh
with evs and “green” energy
do you really think that will be true?
The Miller Steam Plant in Quinton, AL is a key reason there is power to charge the cars. The continuous feed of coal inbound from the Powder River Basin in WY keeps the coal piles provisioned. The bulldozer with the 36 ft wide blade to push the coal around is impressive.
I'm aware of the details because I had 5 research coal cars on that supply circuit and spent a few weeks in the rail yard adjacent to the plant. On the really cold mornings, we were permitted into the building to grab coffee at the cafeteria and enjoy the "nickel tour" of the ops room.
