Thank you. The author has some good points, but definitely lives in an urban bubble.

People in the vast rural areas need the range he eschews.

Further, the loss of transportation for the middle class is a great tragedy, especially when it is being done in the name of “stopping Climate Change before it is too late”, when we cannot possibly stop Climate Change, or impact it to any significant degree. Thus, it appears that this entire movement is an attempt to change our way of life which ultimately eliminates the middle class….one liberty and lifestyle perk at a time.

Regardless, it seems blatantly obvious that if we don’t build nuclear power plants soon, we will have too much sucked from the grid with the addition of these EV’s. Then there will be brown outs, Air conditioning will be taken away (as it is in Europe), and I suppose ultimately even limitations on the use of our electronic devices will come under the chopping block.

All for supposedly trying to affect an insignificant temp drop (assuming they aren’t wrong about CC) that won’t matter anyways……esp with countiries like China and India not honestly participating. And in the meantime, the US funds the Paris Accord countries with our money that we don’t actually have anymore, and trusts them “to do the right thing with it”…..including many of whom are run by crooked despots.
