Trouble In Paradise For Future Electric Cars

I was shocked in 2011 when I saw Live Oak branches within 3 feet of distribution wires in Santa Rosa. I went to the county of Sonoma and asked if friends could cull the thickets of Live Oak and was told ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Freaking weird political outlook radicals put pressure to allow zero firewood cutting, and by the way this is no fairy tale. I came away disgusted. All the way from Santa Rosa to Napa, it was the same story.
Ex-Hippies want wild vegetation growing right up to their structures. And where the Spanish were smart and built houses of stone and adobe the hippies insist on wood, asphalt or split cedar shingles. The fires like those that devastated Yellowstone were caused by stupidity and negligence. Those electrical wires FELL when tree branches took them down and not because of 10 mph dry winds which moved branches 10 feet.
It's unbelievable the ignorance in our society. When my broken arm healed I crawled back up the rabbit hole and I got the hell out of wonderland.
People have NO IDEA the amount of batteries needed to maintain an all electric home. My monster battery bank would last four hours. Cladding an entire roof in panels and a garage full of batteries to maintain 3 or four days worth of 50 miles commutes and household autonomy would be a serious endeavor. But the moment a 3 day storm would roll in all the solar panels go dormant. I do not understand how a grid engineer can pencil in a solar panel dominant generation and plan.
I live the life of battery/generator backup with poor conditions for solar. And I do it on 125 kWh per month.
Somebody's been out in the poison oak patch imbibing hidden herb. As Bug's Bunny used to put it "Ehhhhh, wotta bunch of maroons"
Twist the arms of the ignorant -- As I speak my Kubota and KATO is online. And tomorrow's solar intensity is forecast as "0"
