If I keep seeing the same idiotic lie, I'll keep calling it an idiotic lie. I don't care if it's coming from the same person or not. You seem to want to denigrate other people, then put words in their mouth and insult them for what you imagined. Then arrogantly insult other people's ability to perform basic logic, but when your straw man is pointed out you cry victim. Your numbers are only as good as your assumptions, and when you keep insisting on ridiculous assumptions like people treating EVs exactly like ICEs in spite of there being cheaper, more convenient options that don't lead to the conclusion you decided on before you started you will get ridiculous numbers. Driving less is similarly an option to contribute. People do it everywhere the infrastructure lets them.

Please chill, stop with the insults and go learn something. I have ignored your attacks and continued to provide data and enough math to understand my perspective (and refute it with math and physics if desired). I have used articles you provided to show I am likely right. I am more than open to dialogue and a discussion on any of this. I am more than open to being wrong. That cannot happen if you refuse to engage in conversation. Rather than repeat myself, here's the parallel thread where I use your own article to, multiple times, show you that your perspective might not be aligned with reality: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35131368 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35131368

  Building a ridiculous straw man isn't dialogue. You've been spoon fed the answer over and over, but you still do things like pretend the only options are 100% wind or 100% solar, and pretend there is zero flexibility in load. Try adding existing hydro, existing flexible loads and w2e to the highlighted parts of the paper you're reading rather than only looking at the corners of the graphs. Or try doing the actual math with actual reality which isn't the bizarro absolute world of a single generation technology where EV owners prefer to charge at precisely 5pm, pay 10x as much and sit around for 20 minutes rather than plugging in while parked you've invented. Then try not referring to an offhand comment by a serial liar as some kind of argument from authority. Or try having a single shred of integrity or honesty or respect for anyone around you.
