If there were enough charging stations, there’s nowhere near enough electricity. you in favor of building dozens of nuclear power plants? or are we all supposed to rub balloons on our heads 24 hours a day?
Other than that, you’ve got some sound logic there.
global demand for fossil fuels is decades away from decreasing. decades. Doesn’t mean we don’t keep trying, doesn’t mean we don’t keep investing. But it would be nice if the people running the country could put reality ahead of ideological
pipe dreams.
my homes roof is covered with solar panels. we’re facing south and have no trees near the house as tall as the roof, so we get a ton of direct sunlight. it still only generates a portion of what we use in a year, and that’s without having to power two vehicles ( soon to be 3 as junior turns 16).
We’re decades away from renewables making a big dent in demand. it does us zero good, and causes a ton of harm, to pretend otherwise.

Electric vehicles increase 100% year to year and just a few years ago nobody would believe that every home would have a computer, yet look at what you hold in your hand, that’s even pretty capable of translating speech to text.
I think we have a better chance of Kurzweil’s law of accelerating returns being true than your Luddite view of the world we live in.
