Solar and Wind work fine, if they're deployed in the right geographic locations (e.g. we have a large solar plant here (in the desert) that is remarkably reliable and productive). As far as grid capacity, the market will provide as long as the commercial incentives are there, and the heavy hand of government doesn't get in its way.these two unreliable.solar, wind,)
Hydro and nuclear I'm in. Let's get them moving. Shit, even natural gas is cleaner. The grid still isn't big enough. nor will it ever be for what they are proposing. never will be. it's a wet dream.
nope, sorry, unreliable, sun only available 12 hours out of 24 and wind speeds fluctuate hourly. The mere fact that anyone thinks either is grid ready is hilarious.Solar and Wind work fine, if they're deployed in the right geographic locations

It's ALREADY HAPPENING, renewables and cleaner traditional provide an EVER-INCREASING share of total production, it would be even more if we'd stop subsidizing fossil fuel production via under valuing externalities.Lol, telling me that it will come from renewable energy or alternative sources isn't saying anything, other than where you hope it will come from.That's not a difficult, the answer is: increasingly renewables (hydro, solar, wind, (hopefully) nuclear, et al..) and increasingly efficient (and cleaner) traditional sources (natural gas, cleaner coal, etc..,). it's already happening.You will never see anybody who is perpetuating the notion that the future is all electric who is able to tell us where that electricity would come from.bad bad news for all authoritarian gas-stations like KSA, Muscovy, Venezuela , what will happened to them once oil (so no crazy jets full of cash landing on the roof of the Putin´s dacha) becomes what is coal today ?

We are in the middle of the biggest revolution in motoring since Henry Ford's first production line started turning back in 1913.
And it is likely to happen much more quickly than you imagine.
Many industry observers believe we have already passed the tipping point where sales of electric vehicles (EVs) will very rapidly overwhelm petrol and diesel cars....
Jaguar plans to sell only electric cars from 2025, Volvo from 2030 and last week the British sportscar company Lotus said it would follow suit, selling only electric models from 2028.
General Motors says it will make only electric vehicles by 2035, Ford says all vehicles sold in Europe will be electric by 2030 and VW says 70% of its sales will be electric by 2030."
Why electric cars will take over sooner than you think

Getting the bulk of the transportation fleet onto cleaner, renewable power sources is the DIFFICULT part because there are A LOT more units and they require a more complex power distribution and manufacturing infrastructure than power generation plants do, not to mention all the market resistance to changing from traditional automobiles to the alternatives.
How should I know and why is it relevant? Unless of course you doubt our ingenuity and the power of market incentives, after all it was both of those factors that built the entire FOSSIL FUEL INFRASTRUCTURE, you don't think we can do it again with electricity? even given the fact that we already have a highly developed one to begin with?How much of this renewable energy is needed for this all electric future? Tell me what the electric distribution facilities would look like.
and that doesn't exist today. And, it most likely will never. and people who believe otherwise are truly ignorant to resources.There is plenty of renewable energy and many prospects for enormous improvements in harvesting it. The only thing required is the intelligence to make do with what is available and stop poisoning ourselves, centralizing power and making the absurdly rich absurdly richer.
let's ask texans how that went this winter. And californiansIt's ALREADY HAPPENING, renewables and cleaner traditional provide an EVER-INCREASING share of total production, it would be even more if we'd stop subsidizing fossil fuel production via under valuing externalities.

You sound like you're HOSTILE to renewables and cleaner traditional sources, why is that? Do you prefer sources of energy that are dirtier and finite? or do you have some personal stake in fossil fuel production?

If oil is finite how are you going to make and lubricate EVs in the future?
Can you post an estimate of the size of the area that would be needed for enough solar panels to charge a single tesla or Nissan leaf over the course of an entire day?One vehicle, one solar installation producing the power equivalent to its needs.
That and it's far "greener" to buy a used car that gets 40 MPG than it is to buy a new car electric ot gasoline poweredTrue, fossil fuels are recycled trees, plants and animals. Now that's 'green'.You can be a treehugger and still drive a gas powered carMeanwhile real Americans continue to pump gas and flip tree huggers the bird.

You are only able to post your dreams, you have no idea how much electricity is needed to for an all electric future and you cannot post a plausible path to how all this power will be generated.

Why argue about it? Consumers will control the destiny of electric cars.
Lol, when I accelerate onto the freeway or launch from a red-light, I use enough electricity myself to power a city block.Can you post an estimate of the size of the area that would be needed for enough solar panels to charge a single tesla or Nissan leaf over the course of an entire day?.
Screw that ... Ask them how much power it is going to take to provide for the vehicles on one block in New York City ...
And where the they are going to put the windmills for that.
.

I am not not hostile toward alternative energy at all. In fact, I am an enthusiast. My screen name is based upon the EVs that I engineer and build.I Ask AGAIN...
