Yeah, I don't think most renters are going to be able to own an electric vehicle. Charging stations at apartment complexes should probably be part of the infrastructure bill (maybe they already are?).

Going green . . . as long as it's convenient.

Good opportunity for suburbia greenies to go electric and assuage their conscience over contributing to urban sprawl, paved roads and car centric suburban design.

We rent a house but charge with a 110. The landlord of the triplex next door installed a level 2 charger for his tenants. Depending on how the rental market shakes out over the next few years I can see lots of apartment complexes adding stations

Yeah, like 5 years ago ev charging in new construction (commercial and large apartment complexes) was included in maybe one in 10 projects that I would review. Today it's closer to half and pretty much included in all projects that are decently large. I deal mostly with the Midwest and SE.

There is still a ways to go, but it's definitely getting more popular.

Not exactly new or breaking info (new nuclear's window has been closing fast), author's voice/writing style was entertaining tho

CleanTechnica: Small Modular Nuclear Reactors Are Mostly Bad Policy.

https://cleantechnica.com/2021/05/03/small-modular-nuclear-reactors-are-mostly-bad-policy/

Cleantechnica is basically what the right assumes every climate driven person is. It's pretty much lefty tucker carlson but you know, not actually idiots but the same need to cast fire and brimstone on anyone who isn't lockstep on wind/solar/electric cars. Very preachy/propogandy. Doesn't lessen the entertainment value though.

The growth of chargers I think is going at a fine pace. Especially once people realize most their charging can be done at home.

there's going to come a point, probably pretty soon, where coal is close to free.

that 3-5% compared to 20% number is insane to anyone who remembers, like, the world in 2013.  a good test will be what that oil number looks like in 2-3 years.

The Chinese have no intention of de-commissioning their coal fired plants.   But they'll convince iPOTUS and Biden Voter that they're going to, just like they always do.
 

They stealthily fund Western green lunatics to lobby against coal/cheap power.

Yeah, you can see it in power (for a while). Good to see oil and gas is now facing the music a bit.

It is highly doubtful that massive improvements to the power grid will occur in the next 10-15 years.  This is why back up power systems companies are flourishing.  Right now we have one of the largest public utilities in the country in or about to be in bankruptcy because they didn’t properly maintain their grid.

These two statements appear incongruent. You're essentially stating that you believe that utilities would rather go bankrupt than make the necessary investments in their infrastructure?

PG&E is likely going to file bankruptcy (if they haven't already) because they failed to properly maintain their power grid, which in turn caused numerous wildfires in which they were found liable for . . . if one of the largest power companies in the United States has done such a poor job of maintaining their grid, then you can only imagine what it's like elsewhere.     On most grids a singular ice storm or hurricane would render them non-workable for weeks, if not months in some circumstances.   We're talking decades and billions upon billions of dollars to remedy that situation.   That's not a system you want to go all in on with the backbone of your transportation systems.   Not to mention the fact that EV's are no where near being able to haul the proverbial freight if you will on the commercial side.    FYI Germany is converting 15 trains to FC power.

Texas is basically the goEMAW’ers min paying their student loans right now in the hopes that the federal govt comes in with some money/forgiveness. Bernie is writing a $6T infrastructure plan. They want to use that money, get their state fixed, then campaign against big govt spending and socialism in their stable AC/heat.

I won't get too deep into the fact that we now have tens of millions of people living in a place that was never really meant to have tens of millions of people living there.   Nor will I delve far into the fact that over the course of earth's history that part of the planet has been prone to massive droughts that have lasted decades, even centuries. 

Suffice it to say, 'green energy' cannot and will not sustain California and the Western U.S.   But something has to be blamed, and that something is the gosh darn climate.
