Its modern day ribbon wearing and the irony of it all is its WORSE for the environment.

Anything I said in this thread that you disagree with?

I don't care enough to read it.

Just noticed you always heavily defending EVs.

Thanks for your input

Ok well I’ve yet to see anything which supports most of your claims regarding rare earth availability and many experts disagree with your assertion.

That article is about domestic production and reducing our reliance on China, which I agree that we should do. Nothing in there says that material cannot be found, mined, or processed, even just domestically.

I’m also completely at a loss as to how you plan to accommodate the energy production you are so dismissive of when the feds won’t allow new coal or gas plants to come online and have made nuclear impossible due to regs.

---

I thought I was clear that no additional generation capacity is strictly required. We have enough generation capacity today to support 100% EV fleet, but that assumes the majority of charging will happen at night (which is currently the case).

And again I’ll go back to the question of WHY the feds need to force this on everyone to begin with.

Let the market sort it out.

---

I don't necessarily agree with government intervention in markets, however energy and transportation are rather critical markets and other governments around the world are pushing and investing in these new technologies. Letting the market sort it out sounds nice until you realize that we could get sorted toward the bottom. Most markets sorted themselves out and everything ended up being made in China.

Regarding gas plants, are you talking about natural gas?

---

Yes among others.

The feds don’t want anything that isn’t green being built so they can try to hit the 2030 emissions goals.

Yes among others.

There's over 32GW of new gas units under construction with authorized interconnections already.

They say one thing and do another. Thats what they do. They talk shite about nuclear but just gave it a huge subsidy.

Now if we all get pushed to that bullshite, then our infrastructure will crumble. Can you imagine how many transformers will blow when everyone gets home at 5-530 and plugs up their car?

---

Part of that problem is this country’s years of failure to significantly invest in infrastructure.

Luckily for most people, you can get a Tesla for much cheaper than that.

Don't believe everything you read on the internet. The OP who claims pro EV folks are brainwashed was spouting misinformation and downright absurd opinions on his anti-EV crusade.
