Well, That’s One Way to Sell Americans on Electric Cars. The U.S. has been wary of EVs. As the cost of gas soars, we’re now paying the price.

I mean… The main reason is people don’t have money for a new car. Also the electrical infrastructure in this country is not ready for everyone to go electric.

The gas and oil industries have paid TONS of money to keep people locked into gas vehicles.

Once again, the rich continue to fuck the rest of us.

Also the electrical infrastructure in this country is not ready for everyone to go electric.

You’re repeating big oil talking points. We improve the grid all the time, we can continue to do it. Sure if all cars were magically converted into EVs tomorrow we would have big problems, but that’s not how the real world works.

If the grid actually was about to fall over because of a few more EVs, these datacenters spinning up all over the place would be even bigger disasters than they already are.

I’m not using big oil talking points. I’m saying in reality, because of the damage that big oil has done to keep us from going electric, the infrastructure is not currently there.

They’ve paid money to keep us from expanding our grid. They are saying it won’t work because they are making sure it doesn’t.

I completely agree with you that I think it is absolutely possible, but there are bigger things blocking the way.

Yes, you are. The grid is in no way blocking you. You are repeating propaganda.

As the other guy/girl said, only if everyone switched from one day to the other, you’d have a temporary problem.

How many data centers do you think you need to power a car?
