Gas stations can use diesel or gasoline generators to run their pumps.
So can people with electric cars.
It's easy to control electricity, shut the grid down and everything stops moving.
Except every motherfucker with a generator or solar panels can make it. How many people can make electricity vs. the number that can make gasoline? Not mention how many people have gasoline outlets in their homes and businesses compared to how many have electricity.
When I say there's no way to win this argument, I mean it. Some things are a logical certainty. The more distributed something is the more difficult it is to control. How many facilities in the United States can make gasoline (including home production)? Now how many can make electricity?
And you don't seem to understand how much energy is used to move vehicles daily with gasoline/diesel.
It's irrelevant to the discussion about what is easier to control.
I think you must be a boomer who is not able to see reality
I think you're in a logical corner and all you've got left is ad hominems.
And you don't seem to understand, not everyone lives in a house. Many people live in apartments where are they going to keep a solar array? Those people won't be able to go to their grocery store job or other job.
Just because you can generate electricity, doesn't imply the masses have the means. Most people won't be able to. You make it sound like everyone will magically bust out their solar array while living in or near a city to charge their car in the middle of the winter.
Also how many people who live outside the city have the financial means to afford an array large enough to charge their car, most will rely on the grid.
If those people aren't going to work, where are you go to go if everywhere is closed?
It's irrelevant to the discussion about what is easier to control.
It is relevant, if they kill the grid intentionally, now the vast majority cannot travel, therefore not getting to their job. Their job may involve something you need, ie a store, an ISP, a water utility, heck even a home depot for emergency supplies, hospitals, etc.
If they kill the grid today, at the very least I can get gas or diesel from a station that is running on generator power.
The only "logical corner" you need to be in, is to realize they are shoving us into EVs for their interests, not ours.
Just because you can generate electricity, doesn't imply the masses have the means. Most people won't be able to.
More people will be able to produce electricity than will be able to produce gasoline, ergo gasoline is easier to control than electricity.
Dude, just give up. You literally can't win. You're swimming upstream against reality.
If they kill the grid today, at the very least I can get gas or diesel from a station that is running on generator power.
And the guy with an electric car can get a charge from the same, or from his own generator, or from his or someone else's solar panels. There's just more options, more distributed, more difficult to attack and control. There's no way around it.
If everything is run by EVs and electricity, they will shut the grid down.
If you can produce your own electricity for your EV, that's great. But where are you going to go when the grid is down? Where are you going to charge at? Is everyone going to tow their panels and set them up in parking lots all at the same time, what about winter?
Most people, the vast majority, won't have panels or enough panels and the entirety of society will be shut down. You'll be driving to nowhere.
How are semis going to make deliveries, the amount of panels to replace a truck stop would be massive and the sun doesn't shine 24/7/365 in many areas of the US.
I'll say it again and you cannot refute this, they are not forcing us into EVs for our benefit, and you know this.
