That's very true, and when the Ford Model T began rolling of the production lines we didn't have enough gas to "gasify" all the buggies and wagons. It's almost like supply and demand are related somehow. Funny how that works.

True but they weren't shutting down refineries then either.

Don't be fucking retarded.

We're not having any electricity shortages yet. Supply and demand are a thing. Millions of people with rooftop solar are putting a dent in residential demand.

That allows them to close peaker plants without issue.

Commiefornia would disagree . . . rolling blackouts and such.

How difficult would it be to add a massive amount of infrastructure to provide electricity for hundreds of millions of electric cars? Battery and recharge technology have miles to go before they are viable. I like being able to "recharge" my car in 5 - 7 minutes at the pump. And modern cars do not pollute to any significance. Certainly not more than hundreds of new power plants.

This is all about control of the populous. Everyone mass transit. Sheep will exist on the scraps they dole out, while they private jet everywhere. Our cars are the last vestige of freedom we have now . . .

Nuclear are not peaker plants, retard.

Supply and demand would have you burning natural gas to make electricity. Or coal, or maybe oil at this point, or just about anything other than the green shit. I sincerely hope that fusion works out; let's just wait for that.

Definitely, and natural gas -> electric car is 67% less CO2 per mile than gasoline.

I am all in favor of efficiency. I am even in favor of electric cars. I think for a subset of people they make a lot of sense. Other people need to drive different routes and can't afford to/ don't have room for so many cars. I don't think the government should subsidize the cars. If they want to tax dirty energy, that is ok. I don't think carbon should be taxed as a pollutant at this point.
