Which evil is more acceptable?
Oil spills or forest fires attributed to electrical powerlines?
Fyi
80% of forest fires are started by humans. The rest by lightning.
Powerlines are nowhere near as dangerous.
I guess you don't believe that PG&E was responsible for any of those fires in Cali.
Just saying if history is an indicator of future performance and when transmission lines are tripled in size to achieve "zero emissions by 2050", then we should expect 3 times the number of fires caused by PG&E, et al.
If PG&E has a silver bullet that will prevent transmission line fires, then where is it?
BTW, we all know BC Power is the standard for clean power (hydro), but that model will not work in Cali (no water).
And there are parts of North America (USA & Canada) the primary source of power generation is coal (not hydro), and we all know and agree a BEV's batteries charged with electricity sourced from coal is no cleaner than a ICE vehicle.
...In other words, the carbon parity breakeven point is not likely to be achieved.
If all petroleum production is outlawed, then BEVs cannot be manufactured (period).
