Elon Musk Says We’ll Need More Energy to Power Electric Cars
< < Go Back
RUSH: “Tesla CEO Elon Musk says we’ll need more electricity to power cars like his. A lot more. ‘[He] said on Tuesday that electricity consumption will double if the world’s car fleets are electrified, increasing the need to expand nuclear, solar, geothermal and wind energy-generating sources.” Uh, Elon? You have to know that we can’t cover the needed electricity with wind and solar. It’s not possible!
“Increasing the availability of sustainable energy is a major challenge as cars move from combustion engines to battery-driven electric motors, a shift which will take two decades, Musk said in a talk hosted by Berlin-based publisher Axel Springer.’” This has always amazed me. Where do you people that drive electric cars think the power is coming from when you plug ’em in to charge?
It boggles my mind. These people think that they are saving the planet — engaging in clean, renewable energy — when in fact, it is coal that is charging the battery in your car.
