Duh, It can barely support what we have going right now. Electrify everything and watch the fun. Problem is the globalists know that.

scarcity increases control

if you think of the globull warming agenda in terms of tyranny

it all makes perfect sense

Coal is the answer. Ditch those heat pumps and have a nice toasty home in winter. (Semi sarcasm)

“Green Energy” is a fraud, birthed and maintained only by mountains of printed money and massive government debt.

A little inflation and rising interest rates have already put a big crimp in new projects and green-energy cronies are hurting.

Imagine what happens to the sector with 10 more years of inflation, high interest rates, and government debt crisis?

Well the left will just pass a law to override physics, like those idiot politicians who tried to legislate the value of pi.

Precisely as designed with foreknowledge of consequences. WEF/UN Agenda 2030 of which traitors in all levels of our Govt. signed on for decades ago aren’t concerned. Just need to reach their goal of 1 billion people who survive war, pestilence, medical murder, etc etc etc to reduce “Grid Demand”

On the EV forums most everybody with an EV for some reason wants the electricity to be produced with only "green" sources.

Of course, the gist of it is that the greenies assume someone else will figure out the impossible. On the EV forum I frequent and at the chargers if we take our EV on a trip, I tell them I don't believe in "green energy" or "net zero" or any of that. I tell them that the main reason I have an EV is to free me from the energy chaos that the greenies in government push. I have tons of solar at home and produce 81% of all of my power for my all electric home, including charging our EV. I tell them if I could drill and refine my own oil I'd do most of my driving in the ICE pickup.

Some of them think it's easy to do what I did. I always ask them why they don't do it, and the response is that they don't know how or can't afford it. So I ask them why they think broke, incompetent government can do it. They never have an answer.

This is exactly what I’ve been telling everyone who would listen for going on 20 years (since the first Tesla roadster was released).

The energy ICE cars run on gets to the retail distribution point (the gas station) in an ICE-powered tanker truck. So neither the ICE cars themselves nor the delivery of their fuel puts any burden on the electric grid.

America has about 300 million automobiles (incl. delivery trucks, etc), which consume about 27% of ALL THE ENERGY AMERICA USES. You can’t just shift that 27% from the ICE ecosystem to the electric grid and not expect there be any adverse consequences. Especially when large regions already have a grid that’s so overloaded, they’re already teetering on the edge of brownouts ... and worse.

And we can’t just take a magic wand and create commercial power generating stations out of thin air. It would be miraculous to get a new one online in 10 years time, start to finish, and that’s if you already have cash in hand.

And speaking of cash, if you think of EVs as a cheaper alternative to ICE, that only lasts until the gummint sees the gas tax revenues fall off. Then comes the wheel taxes and the free lunch dries up.

Clearly, the solution is to kill off a couple of billion people.

The EV craze being shoved down our throats is ALL ABOUT immobilizing the citizens of America. Obviously a mobile citizen is a serious threat to the DC criminal cabal and their ultra wealthy ruling overlords.

To those with real degrees (e.g., STEM) that’s a Captain Obvious 100 level course.
