Green energy sources make perfect sense and work well in small scale applications or as a supplementary energy source to a fossil fuel based generator. Take a hybrid car as an example. The lithium battery is a manageable size at about 80 pounds and does a fine job improving the fuel efficiency of the vehicle and best of all it is recharged via the ICE and the braking system. No charging station and NO IMPACT TO THE GRID!!! That is a win-win. But instead, we embark on the insane mission of making vehicles completely dependent on the battery. This requires the battery to be over 1000 pounds, requires charging stations, very long charge times and thus a major impact our power grids.
Instead of taking the common sense approach and growing the hybrid car market, the Democrats are going full bore on eliminating ICE vehicles decades before the EV technology or our grids are ready. You can speculate as to the reasons why, but it is clear that the result will be detrimental to the American people and the country.
