It's truly exciting that we're electrifying cars and solarizing electricity. We'll all be driving around on sunbeams soon.
Now we need to swap out the baseload from oil and coal to nuclear, and drastically increase our overall capacity so we can run as much of everything on electric.
We'll probably use dead dino's for decades to come though, especially natural gas.
