I think Britain is
It’s amazing how being hungry and cold can do that, eh? Plus, there are HUGE national security issues in play.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced plans Monday to grant hundreds of fresh oil and gas licenses for companies to prospect for new reserves in the North Sea as part of a drive to make the country more energy self-sufficient and boost growth.
SOME parts of the US are just beginning to open their eyes…
you are not for nuclear power, you are NOT an environmentalist and you are a stinkin’ hypocrite!
Yeah, fill up the landfills with toxic and inefficient unrecycled (and unable to be recycled) solar panels and windmill blades! Then prance and preen and tell people that you are an environmentalist…

There IS no
And it’s not happening because it makes no economic sense!
pretty dang big deal!
This would be great, if it can scale up and be economical (unlike terrestrial solar, which totally sucks). This way, you avoid the battery weak link.
We’re a long way from the goal line, but… baby steps!

Yeah, let’s
hope!

Yes, that is
BUT neither Democrats nor Joe Biden want good things in terms of energy. So it won’t happen.
Thanks, Democrats. Waaaay to go…

Yes, OF COURSE
EVs can be fine as a little commuter car to travel the five miles to work and back, to be then plugged in overnight.
But there are indeed problems. You simply can’t use them for road trips. And in an emergency, they may well leave you stranded. With a hurricane coming! And what if there are power outages?
BUT, they are indeed “torquey”and fun to drive. That is, if you can just not think of the child slaves that strip-mined the cobalt needed for your batteries so you can sleep at night!

13 European
countries, plus Japan, move toward a nuclear power future.
Good. It’s the only wise move, here. Wind and solar SUCK! They can’t even function without government subsidies! They butcher wildlife and use exorbitant land and other resources. Clean, reliable nuclear power is the obvious answer.

EVs will ALWAYS
be a small niche product. Unless there is a qualitative change in battery technology and widespread adoption of clean, modern nuclear production, it will never be more than maybe 5% of cars sold. Yes, government can pressure people into getting them, but even so they will only ever be a small niche. They are just not feasible without HUGE government pressure.
The bottom line is that wind and solar just suck! Hydroelectric is good, but not exactly a nationwide option.
