Reality about EVs is setting in. Due to distances covered and "refills", EVs aren't looking so popular in the US. Too bad when people promote them they aren't honest enough to admit they aren't pollution free - the pollution source is just moved from your tail pipe to another point. There's going to be some real head scratching in a few years if/when industry comes back to the US and especially if EVs do become a significant portion of the cars on the road because the power grid isn't going to be up to it without fossil fuels. We are way into plant life extension on almost all of nuclear power, and there are virtually no replacements in sight. The other big issue is that solar can put out significant amounts or power, but there's no real storage scheme. That's extremely disruptive without NG for peaking when solar is offline - nuclear and other large plants are good for baseload - not so much for peaking, and idle power plants of any kind are expensive. People are gonna love it when that "free" solar power drives up electric rates.
