Such a generalization is a far worse crime. From the perspective of the USA, the fact remains that we are right on the line of consuming more power than we generate, yet we've made building and operating new power generation facilities unfeasible for mercurial reasons. It takes just one winter storm to trigger rolling blackouts. That should not happen in a modern civilization. I fail to see the reasoning behind the EV push, not only from a supply standpoint, but an environmental one, as well. How can we expect the grid to go from handling around 2,000,000 EV to 250,000,000 just in under 10 years? And how much strip mining will nations (mostly China) need to do to create (non-recyclable) EV batteries? When the Gov of CA tells you that you can't buy a ICE vehicle, that only EVs will be allowed to be sold, but then in the next breath, tells you not to charge your EVs, you have to ask yourself if what you're advocating for falls within the realm of sanity or lunacy. Akio Toyoda recognizes this. It is physically impossible without a complete rework of the grid, new power stations, and a network of charging stations that rival the network of gas stations, untold reserves of rare earth minerals, and a host of other concerns managed ...all in under 10 years. The infrastructure isn't there. The money isn't there. The generation isn't there. The rare earth minerals aren't there and we'd have to destroy large parts of earth's surface to find them with no guarantee of success, PLUS use incredible amounts of electricity and diesel fuel to mine, transport, and process those minerals. Terrible priorities and terrible long-term leadership got us here. We're careening head-long into a man-made disaster on a civilization scale.
