You need to get an education. California has plenty of electricity for most times. We have contracts to buy power from neighboring states if we get pinched in a heat wave.The wind almost always dies off at night and the sun goes down, so the only “clean” energy available most nights is hydro and atomic and California does not have many hydroelectric or atomic plants.As the population soars--there will be no off peak hours...ergo electric car useless.One doesn't need to be an Einstein to figure out the best time to due certain things is during off-peak hours. But then those that believe our future is grounded in coal probably will require an extra measure of guidance.
That's not true. There is clearly more energy available at night. But it's pretty stupid to tell people they can't charge their cars during the day if they need to.
But clearly you're right on the central issue that Democrats are pushing us to electric cars yet still oppose any sort of energy generation as if it doesn't take energy to charge electric cars
Yes, but wind is a small amount of the power too. Certainly wind does vary through the day. Most power however doesn't, you don't ramp up and down coal or gas plants through the day. So they have more capacity at night.
California is really fucked up though since they flat out don't have enough power, they are like a third world country, and they do it themselves
