An incomprehensibly, incomparably, extortionate number of dollars will be needed
\nto see local grids, transformers, power stations and transmission lines completed
\nto provide the power to feed the millions of roadside and homebound charger stations
\nto meet the eight year goal that half of all new cars sold to be electric across the nation.<\/p>\n
And yes it will be costly sayeth our Energy Department, excess of 125 billion needed
\nand many more dollars than that for larger infrastructure upgrades to be completed,
\nand all that only to support a meager ten percent more electric cars to be on the road.
\nPlus costly new rules for specialized steel for new transformers to carry heavier loads.<\/p>\n
We’ll need grid upgrades far north of trillions of dollars, imports of nickel and copper
\nand other assortments of minerals and metals for electrical upgrades all to be proper.
\nSo I ask – where be the wise wizards who’ll make this all happen? They’ll all be hiding!
\nWhen things go bad the plan will be to simply draw less from the grid. Ration your driving!<\/p>\n
