EVs should be free to compete on the free market, but should not be forced on us whatsoever. This way, they will proliferate only when 1) we can afford them and 2) the grid can handle them. Instead of being the existential risk to our grid that they are today. — PolitiTweet.org

Imagine if, during the CA blackouts of 2020 or the TX blackouts of 2021 these grids were both far more dependent on unreliable solar+wind *and* had a massive fleet of EVs that needed charging. Imagine the death toll and economic damage. That’s where our policies are taking us. — PolitiTweet.org

Summary: Our grid is disastrously declining thanks to policies that 1) reward unreliable electricity, 2) prematurely shut down coal plants, 3) criminalize nuclear, and 4) force EV use. By reversing these policies we can not only avert disaster but make our grid a world leader. — PolitiTweet.org
