Ultimately the laws of physics must be obeyed. If electric cars became the norm, it would be an environmental disaster. Try to imagine how the additional necessary electricity would be generated.
Gas-powered turbines.
Back in the horse-drawn days the said the automobile would never take off because there were no roads to travel on and no gas stations to refill your tank.
There’d by little worry of that if the Constitution were obeyed and there were no federal subsidies to feather Musk’s pockets and be spent on electing Democrats.
“Try to imagine how the additional necessary electricity would be generated.”
I’m curious, your statement triggered a question. Isn’t it more efficient to take a refined petroleum energy, such as gasoline, and burn it directly in a gasoline engine to produce power as opposed to taking a petroleum based energy, burn it in a electrical generating plant, then transfer it to a battery, then use it to run an electric motor?
You can see the environmental disaster real time in Beijing. There is millions of electric vehicles in China, everything from scooters to buses. China has built many coal fired power plants to keep up with the demand for electricity. I have been there several times, the air pollution is terrible.
