What about the materials going into an EV? The weight of an EV is damaging to roads.

Since they do not pay taxes on the gas they use the rest of us have to pay more.

Nor a sense of self-deprecating humor, apparently.

The function of a business it to make money, and so are accused of greed, the function of an elected government is to give people what they want, good , bad, profound or stupid .

Absolutely! Another benefit to an EV! Don't forget they're cleaner on the environment vs a gas car (who pays for my health issues from all those fumes and particulates from burning gas?). Also, there's zero maintenance on an EV.

But back to fusion, it's a long ways off, get some batteries and some solar, you'll be fine.

I don't think fusion energy is even possible. I hope I am wrong.

Hydrogen is a viable alternative to a hydrocarbon economy but requires a pressurized vessel and pipeline. It is also extremely volatile.

Nothing is better than hydrocarbons for energy density and safety. An A380 can carry 600 people 10,000 miles with 85,000 gallons of Jet-A. You want to use a battery in an A380? It would be FAR too heavy to even get off the ground. Hydrocarbons are here to stay forever unless we all want to go back to living in caves...The few who actually survive, that is. Hydrocarbon oxidation also releases sequestered H2O and CO2 which are critical for biological life on Earth...Burning gasoline/diesel/jet-A makes plants green and yummy for animals that Sapiens eat.

China is building 500 nuclear fission power plants...They also have a lot of coal.

There are many advantages to BEV including quiet, smooth and lower cost electric operation and near-zero maintenance but realize that you are not feeding the plants as you drive like ICE vehicles do...Don't call yourselves "Green".

All living organisms are "greedy"....The ones that were not were Darwin'ed out of existence. Free-market competition keeps prices low and quality/quantity high. USA have laws that virtually outlaws innovation and productive enterprise...China does not.

Here is a basic lecture on 4th gen fission reactors SMR and LMR (basically what China is building).
