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

Don't be fucking retarded.

Derp, can't look past a messenger to see the message. You're fucking retarded.

Everybody is retarded? That's called projection.

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 . . .

Basically all I'm allowed to do anymore is drive around, and I get followed by cops and pincered by 4 cars, they ask what I'm doing and then let me go.

If they took my car I'd have shot as many of them as possible by now.

They had some for a few minutes in 2020, for the first time in 26 years. Those were caused because the utilities didn't have a plan for record heat running for a week or more, not because the electricity wasn't available.

It would be a massive undertaking, but the time scale is large. Even if they stopped selling gas vehicles today it would take 15 - 20 years to replace the fleet.

Do you routinely drive more than 400 miles a day? That's the only reason you'd need to recharge fast. And you can already charge a Tesla with 200+ miles of range in under 10 minutes.

And modern cars do not pollute to any significance. Certainly not more than hundreds of new power plants.

That's not accurate at all. The US gas vehicle fleet averages 24.7 mpg. That's 360g CO2 per mile. THe US power grid averages about 420g per kWh, which means about 115g CO2 per mile in an electric car. Charged from hydro, solar, and wind is zero CO2 per mile.

Nuclear are not peaker plants, retard.

Yeah, no shit Sherlock. Peaker plants are what they close because of solar. Nuclear is what they close because electricity is double the price of any other plant. Show me anywhere in the United States that decommissioning a nuclear plant has caused electricity shortages.
