[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not ready to go full EV yet. It's not cheaper than gas cars but that's not the point of EVs. The convenience of filling up in 2 min pretty much everywhere in the country vs having to carefully plan every stop with an app and hope the charging stations are working if I want to take a road trip is making me not want to get one. If the government wants to seriously invest in nuclear power, geothermal power or hydrogen I'd be all for it. But all of these EVs (and to a large extend data centers) are just making sure that coal is not going anywhere. Unless you have a solar grid on your house, of course.[/quote] This is also wrong— the cheapest source of electricity now is renewables and that is what is being added to the grid. Some studies actually suggest that increased demand for electricity will drive even more use of renewables and make the grid cleaner. [/quote] Which power plants are using renewables? Sure, I think more people will put solar on their house in the future because the power grid won’t be able to keep up, but for now the use and demand for coal keeps rising. [/quote]
