California EV Push

I read an article yesterday that claims California needs 1.2 million recharging stations by 2030 to reach EV "goals".

EVs, climate change, covaids, and myriad other projects are part of the push toward corporate communism. I hope even some of the most brainwashed, Vampire mind controlled white liberals will start to snap out of their stupor as they see their way of life being annihilated on behalf of a tiny inbred oligarchy. Actually it's worse than that--our corporate consumer way of life is retarded, but the thing the vampires have in mind as a replacement is basically life as a prisoner in an electronic gulag.

Anyway, I did some back of the envelope math about the California goals. It's actually somewhat doable--it's a separate question if it makes any sense at all from the point of view of conservation.

1.2 million charging stations will draw 12 gigawatts at peak, roughly. How much additional power generation is require to support that? It's a handful more natural gas power plants, and it's not completely out of line with the overall build out of natural gas or solar installations over recent years. Since about 2002, the amount of natural gas power production has gone up by about 2.5 times as coal is phased out. The claimed amount of solar panels in the USA is actually pretty high--around 100 gigawatts. I do wonder if that's actually true, though. It seems pretty reasonable that California could add the new power plants without too much trouble... Additional improvements in the electric distribution system need to be made too--new transformers, lines, substations, etc... Are they doing any o that though? I have no idea.

As I pointed out multiple times in many blog posts, the conversion to EVs will require more resources than maintaining the existing transportation fleet. Indeed, the average age of a car in the US is over 10 years, now. The early 2000s cars were great in terms of reliability and longevity. Maintaining an old jalopy fleet is probably far less resource intensive than building out all new infrastructure, new factories for shitty batteries, and shitty battery recycling, etc... It also requires a build out of the electric grid, which requires the current industrial economy to run flat out.

I think the EV change is pointless makework activity to keep people on the hamster wheel forever. The average person is totally hypnotized and stuck in a web of lies. They piss their life away on this type of narrative driven nonsense.
