No sympathy for people getting 20 mpg in their daily drivers when it comes to gas prices. Plenty of inexpensive new or pre-owned efficient cars. Also, a fully electric mid sized kia is about 12k below the average price of a car last year, after incentives; 5k below average without.

It's not a Right wing talking point - it's math & physics.
Solar generates about 3% or US power (Guv hopes to get it to 20% in 25-30 years.)
Wind generates 9%
Hydro 6%
All other renewables 1%
So about 20%
Coal is 22%
Gas is 38%
Nuclear is 20%
If you are honest about power generation, you are not going to replace 60% of the US Power Generation with Solar and Wind.
And ^^^^ THIS is just to replace CURRENT energy generation. Before a mile is put on a car.
