I recently read through this and was just curious what others thought the pitfalls or unforseen issues might be with quickly or steadily transitioning to such in a fairly environmentally friendly manner.
Hate the title name, but I think I have to use the article title as the title.
the power grid should either cope or be destroyed. We cannot let some beaurocrats hold back progress just because they think that utilities should be “reliable” and “safe”.
You from Texas?
on of the other states that has a weir d power grid (several citys and villages have their own)
No, all three grids US don’t have the power to support most cars becoming electric atm. Heck, on the west coast they occasionally have controlled blackouts because there’s not always enough power as it is. The Texas grid, while having some flaws, would probably be the most agile to be modified on a dime. The US east and west grid need to deal with the US Feds, US States, Canadian Feds, and Canadian provinces and would probably take more time to modernize.
Right Texas power grid good west coast power grid bad…I’m NW born and raised never once dealt with controlled blackouts
I am going to assume (hope?) this is a joke. Because 9 out of 10 Americans would likely die if the grid went down for a considerable amount of time.
