"Don't forget you will need to burn fossil fuels to keep up with the demand, just as is necessary now." Why? My service area is geothermal-powered, not FF's. Other less well-endowed locales can just add more solar and wind power. "can't wait til everyone has one and when the grid isn't failing you can pay four or five times the cost of electricity today. " I can't wait til everyone with an EV makes his/her own electricity from the sun and the wind, and acts as a giant communal battery for the grid. Vehicle to Grid (V2G) Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) research at UCLA SMERC is focused on demonstrating the possibility of V2G power flow from popular EVs. We are exploring how to achieve the maximum V2G power flow from each vehicle, while addressing challenges including response time and power sharing control. The SMERC research in V2G is also focused on facilitating a variety of applications, such as reactive power compensation, voltage regulation and distributed storage, to strengthen the power grid and lead EV usage to an entirely new, smarter era. smartgrid.ucla.edu

Cold turkey is something Rat seems to understand only when it comes to energy conversion. It's a pipedream of his.

I don't understand why this is a left vs right political issue. As alternatives are shown to be viable, they will come on board and we will all be better off for that. In the mean time we will continue to benefit from the most economically feasible sources of energy. I invested heavily in electric storage about a year ago and its just now starting to pay off. Doubled my portfolio in the last few months.
