Never happen, it’s impossible….

In one decade, cars replaced horses (and bicycles) as the standard form of transport for people and goods in the United States. In 1907 there were 140,300 cars registered in the U.S. and a paltry 2,900 trucks.

If Americans were all like you, the Interstate Highway system would never have been built.

Jim lots of people in apartments and condos have electric cars ? Many see 300 mile ranges and can charge while shopping or at work .

Clearly it’s not a solution for everyone. But this conservative denial from climate change to green energy is just BS and let’s own the libs because they support these advances. It’s just another example of a small minority claiming to represent the majority of Americans

Which is just another lie . Gun control is a prime example. Poll after poll shows the majority of Americans support it. But the party of No. takes the easy road afraid of their rabid base and just says Nope over and over

Just look at the Burn pit vote

A wide bipartisan majority approved the long-awaited bill by a vote of 84-14.

Not sure I’d call that bipartisan

how many people in condos and apartments have electric cars? you got any data? or
just self serving statements?

i’m not denying anything, i’m wY ahead of the curve with conversion, my roof is covered with solar panels and our next car will be a hybrid

You’re the one denying that today wencuidmt even come close to generating the needed electricity, and wind/solar will never, ever get us here.

I’ve asked you several
times where we’ll generate the tins of additional electricity needed. As always, it seems you’re avoiding the question.

There is one viable option, and only one. Nuclear. That’s the exhaustive lest of potential options. And it’s a great option. But the greenies won’t support that, so then we’re stuck in no mans land. You want electric cars, but refuse to concede the realities of where the electricity will come from. Unicorns and hugs don’t generate electricity.

You’re clueless

There’s thousands of businesses working on this
There are already public charging stations and more coming online every day.

there are nowhere near enough charging stations, and even if there were, there’s nowhere near enough electricity.

and none of the people you know are republicans. Yet the drubbing is coming in november.

Maybe you need to get out more.

If there were enough electric vehicles for all of us, and we all bought them, we’d all be stuck waiting for electricity that doesn’t exist yet. not without nuclear power plants or from coal, both of which your side vehemently opposed.

Well, it will be a while before that happens but meanwhile every alternative to fossil fuels reduces demand and as long as the prices are not artificially manipulated that should cause a drop.

You think Democrats are the electric car Demographic, is that because it starts with Dem?
Energy conservation has had markets for decades, one that does it to save the planet, one that does it because they are fiscally conservative and lots more with a blend of both views.
I’m surprised you haven’t had your solar system removed to own the libs.
