Solar is fine at the individual level. The individual, or family, can set it up and configure it for their own use and it would be useful and--perhaps--efficient.

It is not useful at the community level. Too much generalization and inefficient configurations are required to meet average needs among those in the community to be cost effective or useful to the community at large. There will always be some shortfall in some aspect of the implementation to render the whole thing worse than oil/petroleum-based solutions.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. I cringe every time the Dims promise to transition us completely off of fossil fuels. I always interpret that as jacking up our costs to move us to less dependable energy sources to make their cronies richer.

The standard domestic receptacle in New Zealand is on a 10 amp circuit.

“..Congratulations on knowing that burning NG in a dual-cycle gas turning making electricity for EV’s is more efficient than burning it in an ICE vehicle...”

Australia uses the same outlets. According to Wikipedia, this outlet was designed by Harvey Hubbell Inc, of the USA (still in business today as “Hubbell”.)

That likely explains why this outlet looks very similar to ones used in the USA for electric dryers and ranges (NEMA 10-30R and 10-50R).

<>It’s not so much Biden, but the environmental wackos who think you really don’t need an automobile anyway.<>

Correctamundo. Command and control society into EVs, then ration the juice. Small towns and suburbs? Poof, gone.

EVs will make the totalitarian dream come true.
