But that part IS political LOL. Lobbyists and Politicians dictate what infrastructure money is spent on. No infrastructure because nobody is really pushing to make it happen. Once you start having more affluent and powerful people (and lobby groups) advocating for the charging stations you will see things do an about face PDQ.
Good lord man, who cares about what happened 13 years ago at this point. Totally irrelevant. We have enough issues dealing with the here and now as well as the future. Time to move on!
Well coal is on its last legs so I wouldn't be overly concerned about it. Personally I'm hoping Nuclear can make a come back. There has been a ton of advancement in the technology is the recent years. Perfect, no as nothing is, but it is a viable alternative.
E-waste is a YUUUGE problem! Not just cell phones from the last 30 years, but all the other electronic items made with non decomposing hard metals that will eventually leak into our water supplies, if they haven’t already.Well coal is on its last legs so I wouldn't be overly concerned about it.

As far as batteries, both car and battery manufacturers are spending billions on coming up with ways to recycle them. But If you are really concerned about them maybe we should address all of the millions of current mobile devices out there. Far more batteries today than there will be from EV's in the next decade or two.
But it's still a great conversation. It seems that for every argument against there is at least one for.
Hello; A saying goes something like this. Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it. By the way 13 years ago is not yet history. How you may ask? Because the monies spent then were added to the national debt. Also because in the years prior and all years since have been deficit spending years. Meaning more is obligated to be spent than is taken in as income.
Li-Ion batteries have gotten WAY better since their inception. It's honestly incredible. Just look at the average power tools now. They have so much power and last so long compared to the 90's when they were complete dogshit, and you couldn't do hardly anything without compressed air.
Hello; The first cordless hand tools I used Ni-cad type batteries. (Nickle-cadmium) They had issues to be sure. They were eventually replaced with other sorts and the Li-Ion is top dog so far. Decent shelf life for holding a charge and not such a steep decline as the number of recharges add up.
Everyone agrees that our power grids need to be rebuilt as soon as possible. Although for now and in the short term EV’s are adding very little to the overall usage it will continue to grow.
Hello; Not sure everyone agrees the grid needs to be rebuilt as soon as possible. A lot of us will be for a gradual improvement in the grid if it saves us money. Other than the push to electrify everything including transportation these is no need for an emergency or all in effort to beef up the grid.
There are parts of the grid that need to be upgraded immediately (Texas), others can plan out upgrades as needed. The cost will be the cost. I do not thing there is such a thing as "saving money" where utilities are concerned.
Again with the "policy change". Is it possible for you to write a post without injecting your political views into it. The shift away from fossil fuel has been in the making for almost 50 years. Every administration makes changes. Some good, some not so good. But your instance to bring this up in every post is redundant and, quite franking annoying. Try sticking to cars.
See what I mean? You just love to ramble. Same crap, different post.
You are a broken record. Good enjoy your 21 year old Nissan.
