The financial pressure being applied to everyday citizens to convert to evs now is ridiculous when in all reality, this conversion could make the pollution problems much worse. Throw the baby out with the bath water! Why not develop a twenty year plan? Most people will have converted before that, the grid may be able to handle it and the kinks would be much fewer.
For YEARS forward thinking politicians have been trying to incorporate green energy into our energy plan as a nation. Back in 2007 Al Gore was calling on the US to produce all its energy from zero-carbon sources within 10 years, and look where that got us. The last President dismantled nearly 100 policies focused on clean air, water, wildlife and toxic chemicals.
