GM is going into the power generating business? How many terrawatts of new reliable constant power generation will be needed to charge GM’s EV output?
“As the Texas power grid shudders in part under renewable power, the auto industry is also facing an uncertain transition to green energy.”
Other than Cruz showing his true colors (rather than having to deal with that happening should he have tried running for president again), maybe some good is coming out of our blackouts!
Its all a big scam, you need fossil fuel to manufacture equipment and parts for green energy
We have uncountable electric vehicles in current use.
These electric vehicles operate on golf courses, retirement homes and loading docks. The forklift batteries are heavy, very heavy and cumbersome. They are big because of the effort required for the forklift to move very heavy loads.
These limited use vehicles would already be expanded to autos and trucks if profitable. GM is virtue signaling to pay for the Obama bail out of the UAW when it stole my retirement GM bonds to keep the UQ AW alive
The GM CEO is signaling fear and admitting that she can’t compete with the German and Japanese and especially Korean manufacturing technology
Wait till the batteries start piling up...and fires break out in a crash...and garages are burning down.
Obama Motors is back and it’s better than ever, lol.
Wanna bet BUYme gets a kickback?
China has the right idea.
They don’t have a lot of oil reserves.
They have coal.
They are building hundreds of coal fueled power plants to power their electric cars because they don’t want to spend any more on oil than they have to.
And all our carbon reduction efforts are like p*ssing into the wind.
Best electric cars are good for 300 miles.. so if I’m going 350 I need to stop overnight somewhere to charge up from a charging station whose power is from fossil fuel.
This is liberal logic.
And check the range when it’s really cold outside. It plunges.

It’s only 10% for the Big Guy. Seems fair.
From the headline: “...Experts Say Climate Case Is Weak...” Looks like certain ‘x-spurts’ may be lookin’ for work. Maybe they can learn to code? In the immortal words of the doom troll grrrrrrreta: “How dare you!?”
^ joejoe has diminishing electrical activity
“And check the range when it’s really cold outside. It plunges.”
as does iPhone...and hey, where’s my electric riding mower?
GM ‘s board of directors should be replaced for incompetency. All electric will doom their company.
The only saviour would be a massive increase in nuclear energy output and great strides in battery tech. Neither is assured, both are unlikely to match our status quo.
Ah, the Government/Corporate Industrial Complex.
[[[[GM’s ex-chief of electrochemistry said in an interview that “fossil fuels can be used until they run out, in hundreds of years.”]]]]
Sounds like a plan.
It would have been even worse in Texas if all the vehicles were electric vehicles.
