Tuscola, IL | Eh I’m not sure the comparison holds up. Producing more electricity used more energy. It’s like balancing a budget by increasing taxes but not cutting spending. The end result is balanced, but nobody is saving anything.
Sure, the goal is always 100% efficiency, but reducing demand would be the way to do that, not increasing demand. Now, cars charging at night would be using electricity at ‘off peak’ rates, but that’s assuming the increased nightly demand didn’t do away with off peak times completely.
Regardless of efficiency, what’s the actual end goal? Is it reduced emissions? Because electricity has to be created and that in and of itself creates emissions. Electric probably is the cleaner energy, but a lot of politicians seem to believe electricity is a renewable resource. When created by wind or solar, yes. When coming off of the existing grid, it’s not. | |
