Electric Propulsion Reality Check

The ENTIRE area of this video is powered by a coal fired mega plant outside of VALMY NEVADA. Several Gigawatts.
No nuclear
No falling water
No solar
No natural gas
And no grand intertie except to sell not buy power which would rob LA of a small but significant amount of kWh.
News Excerpt
The forecast found Lake Mead water levels will end this month at 1,079 feet – a mere four feet away from the 1,075-feet threshold that would trigger a federal shortage declaration and mandatory cuts. The report predicted Lake Mead will dip just below the threshold to 1,075 feet.
There goes a full 30% of the power for the ENTIRE 50% California in the south. And guess what? The Pacific Intertie can not increase and make up the difference. A proposed rate hike and cancellation of electrical rate exclusions in California for electric cars is already on the agenda in the California State PUC.
Delusion
Einstein said it best. Insanity can be described as insisting something be tried and retried, while expecting different results.
Some folks are in for a rude shock when reality hits the fan. Hundred dollar a month electrical bills soaring to seven hundred dollars and the cost per mile of fuel six hundred percent of what it is today.
Hundreds of thousands of acres of solar panels in places like the Mojave desert while the Chinese jump for joy and increase military spending ten thousand percent.
While the Russians tow gigantic nuclear plants to the arctic and Brazil runs ape**** with the worst pollution electrical generation while clearcutting the Amazon rain forest.
All I can say is down here we are on the outside of the fence watching the NIMBY's on the other side chant and newspapers headline events on San Francisco's HIPPIE HILL. Good night Chet -- Good night David.
