So people in coal country and those who work in the O&G industry should have no problem with electrification of vehicles in America then since we are just substituting one type of hydrocarbon with another? Correct?
It’s far more complicated than that, particularly concerning the amount of metals that will have to be mined for batteries, and the disposal of waste from that process. Also, what about the disposal of used batteries? I don’t think these have been given proper consideration.

1. We don’t have the infrastructure.
2. And if we even did build the infrastructure, we don’t have the social or political cohesion to build the necessary power stations to power them.
The progressives can’t even agree on which type of energy station they want.
Hell, they have probably shut down more power stations in NY and CA than they ever should have, and now they have been experiencing blackouts just trying to run everyone’s AC.
Again, this is a collapse waiting to happen.

And the fact those metals are pretty rare and not cheap
