More proof that the electrical grid will never be able to handle charging electric cars and trucks unless there is a major and extremely expensive electrical grid upgrade throughout North America. Just imagine tractor trailer trucks lugging massive batteries just to haul heavy loads to another destination with the impossible task of recharging these batteries quickly when ONTIME DELIVERY is key to efficient transport of goods.
If you do the math with the estimated number of vehicles on the road today that are powered by cheap fossil fuels and convert that BTU energy to the number of kilowatts necessary to replace all the energy these vehicles currently use, you would have to increase the basic utility line load by 12 times. That is an IMPOSSIBLE goal. In order to run more current load per residence or small business to handle the additional load to charge one to multiple vehicles per household, the minimum service would have to be 200 amps with an ideal service at 400 amps. The cost to upgrade from a 100 amp service to 400 amp is extremely expensive being that larger step-down transformers have to replace the smaller existing ones and new heavier gauge conductors must be installed. All conductors for utility lines around the country would have to be multiplied by 12, which is again impossible to attain and extremely costly with the price of copper and high tension aluminum conductors these days. There is also the problem of finding reliable and efficient ways to generate inexpensive electricity which puts unreliable wind and solar energy out of the game. The only reliable generation sources of electricity is nuclear and fossil fuel like natural gas or coal.
Lets not forget that in States with colder winter weather, we all need to heat our vehicles to keep warm, something that fossil fuels do so well, while trying to heat the same vehicle with battery power will consume massive amounts of killowatts and kill your battery very quickly which will keep you stranded and cold along a snow covered highway. Remember that in cold weather, the heating requirements for a cabin in an average vehicle ranges from 24,000 BTUs to 40,000 BTUs, that's over 10 kilowatts per hour of additional load on the vehicle battery pack. In the summer months, the line load for air conditioning homes and businesses usually peaks and there will be none available for charging electric vehicles.
The point here is that electric vehicles will become too expensive to charge because of the grid upgrades and are inefficient when heating the interior cabin electrically, which will make electricity so expensive that no one will be able to charge their electric cars or even use electricity anymore. That is certainly not the way State and Federal government can lead us back to prosperity.
And there ain’t no way in hell the those that be in charge of all things don’t know this even more fully than you so succinctly put it, so it can only be for the most nefarious of socioeconomic reasons that they would push this shit with such unashamed vigor.
Agreed!!! They certainly know the truth about electrical utility base load demand and the requirements to attain peak load demand. They certainly know the extreme costs of upgrading the North American grid to even come close to charging millions of vehicles. Its difficult to figure out how Socialist Liberal Democrats think except for the fact that their pipe dreams of an all electric world defies common sense to the point that it damages the economy at all levels while its being implemented. The real taxpayer is the one that must absorb the burden while these govenment parasites continue to prosper unaffected.
The Socialist Liberal Democrats are communists. Communists are evil manipulative pieces of shit. They are of their father, murderers and liars. They know exactly what they’re doing. Our biggest problem to overcome is the rather large and dangerously stupid army of useful idiots they’ve amassed over the years and generations by way of the Long March to carry their water for them. Thing is, they always over play their hand. Their motto Order out of Chaos won’t be the Order they think it will be. That’s not to say that we won’t have to suffer terribly the idiots who bring us fully into the Chaos, escalating beyond the ability of all good peoples to counter effectively at this time. When the time comes and we have nothing left to lose, we will absolutely lose our shit. Woe be unto those holding riches and unto those that carried the water for pieces of silver or of stupidity.
What can we really do at this time as this must be played out in full for the whole ball of wax has been politically, financially and socially constructed to be in their court. Their hubris will ultimately be their fall and onto them they will find in us, all the savagery they so well deserve at last.
But what's not impossible is starving everyone out from no deliverables.
GritD2 you are so RIGHT about that!! The DS agenda.
You are spot on, but there is no thing as fossil fuel. Oil is created by the natural processes of the Earth crust.
Agreed about the term "fossil fuels" I just used it as a generic term that everyone is familiar with, and like you say its NATURAL. Its part of the creation that was given to us as a resource. I saw a video some years ago showing crude oil oozing from crevices over a mile deep at the bottom of the ocean and you could see fish swimming about. Nature knows how to deal with it.
