From what I've read, EV trucks are only good for posers that don't use them like trucks. The F150 EV can barely tow a small trailer 100 miles. That wouldn't get me to the city and back and my trailer isn't small. I need lumber steel tubing and bar etc. I haul gravel too. Stock trailers are even less aerodynamic than flat or dump trailers. EVs might be okay but people forget that not everyone lives in the city. As for windmills. Every time I drive through a windmill farm, at least 10% are broken. They aren't zero maintenance and the blade disposal is still an unsolved issue.

EV is certainly the way to go in the long run. It would have been so easy to keep or build a few more nuclear plants to help with the transition... But Biden and his supporters like you have to OWN the higher prices that are crushing the lower and middle class and probably have us in a recession right now. Basically admit that piss poor planning did not leave ANY margin for error such as "someone" not behaving nicely like Putin... and our enemies in Saudi Arabia will repeat what they did in the 1970s that gave us our last bout with crushing inflation. I say that because Q1 was -1.5% GDP growth and the Fed currently estimates Q2 will be negative too... And I have NEVER voted for Trump but I believe he WARNED the EU and Germany in particular to not buy NG from Russia which is why the Russians and the Dems worked so hard TOGETHER to try and oust him by claiming collusion... As I see it, Trump didn't want the US to pay the SKY HIGH, CRUSHING PRICES we see today to "solve climate change" while most of the World would do little of consequence. His supporters see it as an attempt to remove wealth from the productive to give the unproductive.
