OH, one little point of contention about "where is the electricity going to come from?" When new companies announce that they are building a huge new airframe assembly plant (Airbus) or car plants are going up (BMW, VW, Mercedes, Hyundai, etc...) or any other large energy user such as that, you never hear a pip from anyone about "where is the electricity going to come from to run these plants". However, we talk about taking a car off the road and replacing it with the same 220V charger your drier or a shop supply uses (say in a new 300 unit subdivision going up anywhere right now) and suddenly the grid is going to collapse. Funny how suddenly something is a big problem when we're talking about an electric car, but when it's a new subdivision full of high end energy sucking McMansions and all is well... Now, having said that, I've said for years now that this country NEEDS to stop dickering around with our infrastructure and start upgrading NOW.
