Let's encourage all those plug-in EVs!
Of course, there will be disadvantages with all the EVs:
- Lithium and other rare metals that the US does not have will become expensive.
- There will be a shortage of new and replacement batteries
- Demands on the electrical power grid will cause rolling blackouts, etc.
And there are advantages:
- Wind and solar will not be able to supply the power so the natural gas industry will continue to flourish
- Shovel-ready jobs will be available for unskilled worker from the coal industry
But the BIGGEST ADVANTAGES ARE:
- With all those EVs stuck at charging stations, traffic congestion will decrease
- With the decrease in demand for gasoline, gas prices will fall below $2 a gallon
- I will appreciate my AMG, 6-cylinder and V8 engines even more!
