And you are wrong about EVs not make a lot of sense.
...........
All of the land in California, Oregon, Washington, Airizona, and Nevada would be needed just to grow the bio-mass needed to power the cars in California.
Just curious how many nuclear plants are the US now building so everyone can drive an EV in two decades?
Last I heard your country already has a lack of electricity in the summer when everyone uses their AC?
How can you advocate EVs when there is nothing done to support it ?
You are correct we are having power outages in the summer. But it’s not only when folks have there AC on, but when renewables aren’t producing. As when there is no wind or a cloud is over a solar farm. Same issue England and Germany have had. The only time we have prolonged power outages is when we have wild fires.
You are right we don’t have this figured out. Just like everywhere else in the world this is an experiment that’s taking place as we speak. In 5 or 10 years from now we will know what worked and what didn’t.
I live in California and own and drive an EV. Only time I’ve had an issue is when I forgot to plug it in at night. We havre the highest electricity rates in the US if not most of the world. We are on a Time of Use billing. So to recharge the batteries in my car it costs at the highest electrial rate a bit more than I would pay for a tankfull of gas. But if I charge at the off-rate it’s about one forth the cost of a tankfull.
I’ve had an EV for almost two years and can’t complain. Biggest plus is I don’t have to go to the dealership to get an oil change and try and be sold a bunch or just or services I don’t need. Saves a lot of money.
My next car will be an EV as well.
This next year I plan on installing solar panels. Not to charge my car during the day, that would be stupid. Instead I can sell that electricity to the power company at $0.50 during the day, and then buy it back when the rates are low, $0.11 to charge my car.
The solar rip-pff companies are all telling me I need 30 solar panels to produce the number of kWhrs I use per year. But what these idiots are not factoring in is the exchange rate between peak and off-peak which is about 4 to 1. So instead of needed 30 panels I could easily get by with 15 if not 8 or 9 panels.
While I see the value of solar panels as a short term fix, in the US the solar panel design and installation industry is for the most part a compete scam. They are grossly over selling the number of panels needed and this includes Elon Musk and Tesla.
What we really need is to get next gen nuclear figured out.
