You’d think this would give us some wiggle money to play with to build out new energy infrastructure. You’re wrong though, there is no wiggle. We need all renewables like Germany.
Although the transition to EVs will require an enormous increase in base production capacity, it would be wasteful to build out nuclear to meet it.
$16m an hour might seem like a lot of damage, but nuclear can only exacerbate economic loss which is equally important as climatic loss.
Renewables now!
transportation accounts for 1/3 of emissions. as that demand transfers from oil to the electric grid, we’ll need a lot more renewable-only capacity
Transitioning away from cars entirely is far cheaper and more viable than transitioning to EVs. Fuck cars
aye, fuck cars
