There is a global oil glut and it is depressing oil prices. It is puzzling to see the Department of Energy, the EPA and environmentalist politicize in favor of green. I would love to drive an all electric car. I would love to have the sun and the wind maintain the energy needs of my home. However the large solar energy project in California is dropping birds from the sky literally setting them on fire midair. wind turbines are killing birds of prey by the hundreds, and residents are dealing with unwanted noise and sight of turbines. and of course no wind no electricity
As a owner of an electric cart i know that the distance I can drive is limited. I know that weather has an affect on how much power and how long I will have it and I know that i have to buy new batteries every 3-5 year. the same applies to electric cars. to replace a battery in a Telsa cost $30,000. and let' s not forget that Boeing is have a heck of a time with their new lithium that are exploding and catching fire.
Now is the time for America to realize it dream of energy independence . Now is the time to leverage all of our energy sources and create a plan to satisfy environmentalist and capitalist alike. We need to continue to explore alternatives but we do not want to do so and place this country and its taxpayers at a disadvantage which is taking place now. We need to act or we will miss some very important opportunites
