Well, here’s a perfect example of how out of touch the politicians are…..thousands of people are staying warm and preventing their houses pipes from freezing thanks due to firewood. Tens of thousands without power in -2* weather is a problem, but if you burn wood it at least saves you.
A similar situation a few years ago in Texas, huge ice storm disabled windmills and solar panels leaving thousands without heat and electricity……. Another example recently, major hyway I95 I think was closed, leaving hundreds of vehicles stuck on the road in a blizzard….imagine if they were all electric vehicles?
There’s a certain need and place for cleaner power, less emissions and electric vehicles with solar power….BUT it is not and will NEVER be the do all say all solution. Just think, right now as we speak there are combustion engines generating power due to the power grid taking a hit. Just saying!!!!
