Umm someone should the Cali folks that it doesn’t matter how many chargers there are if there ain’t enough power to make them work!

California just ok’s $2,900,000,000 for electric chargers but they can’t even finish a short bullet train or keep the power grid up during the summer. Typical liberal priorities and failures. GavinNewsom

How many child slaves are needed for the energy transition and the green utopia.

What else happens when it's hot? Oh, yeah, wildfires that you need to evacuate from. In a car you can't charge?

Doesn't mean the grid will be able to handle them. Just because you double the gas stations doesn't mean they will be used

Meanwhile, a drought emergency goes into effect. 🤦‍♂️

Put them under one of the non-functional, err, umm. In the highly productive wind farms. I mean one of these wind mills surely produces enough electricity to charge a car, right? 🙈🙊🙉

You'd think maybe a power plant or two. Here fuel, meet fire.

Will the energy charged for electric vehicle be charged by solar panels?

Where do they plan on getting the electricity to power them? Freaking 🤡 show.
