> You don't even know the difference between energy and power. You clearly don't know what you are talking about. You'd think someone would take the time to search what someone has written in the past on HN before making such a comment. I have written about this in detail in the past. As an EE with 40 years of experience in domains ranging from consumer to robotics and designing shit that has gone to space, I think I know what I am talking about. In fact, I created simple simulation models to better understand the transition to electrics a few years ago. The end result was an estimate of a 900 GW to 1400 GW requirement in additional production if the US wanted to go all-electric. Here's what's interesting. You don't have to believe me at all! Just a few months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESIjxVudERY&t=3680s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESIjxVudERY&t=3680s So, yeah, I think I know what I am talking about. Next time take the time to educate yourself and do some math before insulting people who have taken the time to truly understand the matter being discussed. Most people discussing electric vehicles or climate change are, as we colorfully say in the US, talking out of their ass. Which means they regurgitate what they read or were told, never question any of it and definitely never take the time to research, study and do some math. And that's how we get here. With people truly thinking they know reality despite their abject ignorance. On HN in particular, any post that goes against the climate change and electric transportation narrative is brutally downvoted and often ridiculed by people who --as is obvious through their comments-- have never taken the time to even fire-up Excel and run through some numbers. Ironic, considering HN purports to be a scientifically minded community. I find that, when it comes to these subjects, most people tend to behave as part of a cult rather than taking a stance that is the foundation of all valuable science: Healthy skepticism, inquisitive, demanding proof and verifying claims before adopting conclusions. It is far easier to belong to a cult, stop thinking and allow others to tell you what to believe. Life is easier that way.
