It’s already a political issue. But at some point anything that’s done to help the environment ends up that way. Turns out there was a gas lobby pushing gas as an energy source in the past. This WNYC podcast was a decent look at the whole

Linus tech tips is a YouTube channel by some guy in Canada who reviews computers and other tech. It’s turned into a kind of mini channel with other reviewers. Not to be confused with “Linus” of Linux fame who doesn’t contribute to the chan

I know “all town fresh” is doing that at one location. They own gas stations, but added electric chargers and a small kinda upscale market attached. We stop sometimes in Plymouth mass for a 20 minute break/ charge. It’s a good idea.
