Subtracting fossil fuels plus adding electric cars equals disaster
By Larry Bell |October 4th, 2020
If California’s struggle to keep the lights on isn’t already dim enough, Golden State residents should brace themselves for even darker prospects with a planned ban on the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035.
Recall that utility company responses to the state’s mandate that 60% of electricity come from renewables by 2030 and 100% by 2045 recently left millions of perspiring Californians powerless during a grueling heat wave.
Now imagine adding several tens of thousands of electric vehicles (EVs) to drain further dwindling supplies of reliable energy. Not explained are any bright ideas regarding how to recharge all those power-hungry plug-ins on windless nights.
