The technology and common sense doent exist for use to go full green yet. Plus big oil and big electric don't want us to be able to have our own power plant to go green. Neighbor set up a 120k windmill 10 years ago and a battery shack. He's full green but has to pay 1600 a month to turn his power back to coop line when he is full. His monthly total on the battery shack (if he can do it) is roughly 500 a month. He and his wife had great jobs, where money is no issue. They upgraded to new battery shack last year to new style battery and new storage. That was 38k and now he's paying 700 ish a month in repairs and batteries. Where is the green in that, and how can everyone afford that? If it can't be done on a small scale, how are they going to do it on a large? There is a 400 ac solar farm going in near me. Big money to landlord for 50 years. The contract states that ground can never be used for agriculture again not only the panels toxic if broke, but the protective coating they spray on is horrible for the environment.

My brother works for an undisclosed auto manufacturer. They have been working 7 years on ev vehicles. Were far from there. Most of the technology that is lacking is the batteries. Without going to a precious metal battery, that is outrageous expensive, and more harmful, ev will not work. They can power little 2 door cars that have a 50 mile range, but not bigger cars or suv. His concern is have you ever seen a ev car explode and catch fire, a huge short? They melt whole cars and whoever is inside within 2 min. He has some crazy pictures that he couldn't send me because it's so hush hush. Ups had some small semi ev delivery vehicles at one point. They couldn't afford to keep them going.

I'm not against ev, I'm against racing full steam into something no one fully comprehends. I'll admit the older we get, the more we get stuck in our ways. It's harder to change. No one likes to be pushed into a rash uneducated decision. It's more scary it's the dems that's pushing this nonsense. It would be totally different if we would have been easing into this thing.
