PS:Who lays bricks at 1001 feet I want to meet this guy.

The Electric Car crowd is by and large based on the emotion of NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard). As you said, you don't want to know how sausage or electicity is made. All electric cars do is move the point of creation of some kind of evil from the tailpipe to a gas/coal power plant far away from here. There is not and will not be enough wind/solar power to create the supplemental power consumed if the electric car conversion in CA really starts by 2035... It seems that politicians were required to fail basic sums in the 3rd grade and could never ever handle multiplication. If they did the party wouldn't support their candidacy.

If you've ever been to the Grand Canyon in the 90s during one of the "inversion" days the "smog" came from the power plant nearby. Costs got too high and it was decommissioned in 2019.

As far as the migration is concerned, I think EVs are a perfect fit for the average city commuter. A friend has a Tesla and gets a range of about 350 miles, which for him is 3 to 4 days of use if he has to go visit customers. I think local trades people will love the EV Ford pickup. But they're not ready for my usage model which includes a 800 mile drive-in-one-day one way trip.

Fossil fuel will never end. I can't imagine what a battery operated D9 cat or road grader or snow plow would look like. I don't think Boeing has a battery operated 737 on the books (at least not in their stockholder reports )
