Electric charging stations can also have generator backup. I really don’t see the problem here.
Have you seen the list of the products that uses oil? It’s not only gasoline it is pretty terrifying long list of things that are used by oil.
Who said anything about “electric only?” Most people recognize it’s not all or nothing.
Yes. The far left. The far right is nuts also.
This, my Liberal friends is why we can’t nominate Warren et al.
Liberals and conservatives both have good ideas but then the radicals in the parties go too far.
Nominate Warren and the man child in the WH will likely have a second term.
Yeah, we’re coming for the guns too I hear. All of us. Not just the far left. There’s no honesty in politics- I guess there never was.
If the power is out, you can’t pump gas into your care either.

Is the push for the elimination of the combustion engine a pipe dream for now. …
We haven’t eliminated the horse and buggy, we’ve replaced it. There was no need to regulate against the horse and buggy (although the current animal safety laws would make commuting by horse and buggy a problem.)
There isn’t any push to eliminate the Internal Combustion engine, but a lot of push to find tech that will replace it.
Many politicians on the left are pushing for the removal of the internal combustion engine.
So with the powerfull hurrican of Dorian . . where 10 million people in Florida were warned late last week they should expect to be without power for a week or longer. What happens to the transportation system?
You can’t plug your car in to get to work. Trucks that deliver products to the stores will stop. Emergency vehicles will not be able to respond. Even the trucks needed to restore the power (you know the one’s that drill holes for the new poles, and the bucket trucks to string the lines).
Is the push for the elimination of the combustion engine a pipe dream for now. Especially in given the acts of nature that occure . . . from hurricanes that can litteraly destroy the power grid, to tornadoes that do the same thing. Snowstorms, fire . . you name it. Hell even a burst from our own sun could take the power grid down for weeks as transformers and that are replaced.
I know what happens. When my area lost power for twelve days following a hurricane all the gas stations shut down because they did not have the power to run their operations. But in your rush to condemn politicians on the left you didn’t account for that.
