Grid-Powered EV Charging Stations

"We'll rip the band-aid off now: the most common charging station power source is natural gas. It’s cheap, abundant, and accessible. But not all electricity is generated by fossil fuels alone, as charging stations are

2/"connected to “the grid.”"
A smart capitalist country should work towards carbon neutrality using renewable energy, alternative fuels & innovative technological solutions & every shape or form. The misconceived Green New Deal focuses solely on EVs and its gaping flaw is that

3/the power source for EV charging stations is THE GRID. That grid where 40% of the electricity is generated by natural gas & 19% by coal that the homesteader renounces when living off the grid. Biden Admin & AOC virtue signal to the world that Americans driving EVs are carbon

4/neutral, but the EVs get their electricity FROM THE PREDOMINANTLY FOSSL FUEL GRID. The sheer ineptitude or even stupidity of this Admin is probably unparalleled in history. EV's don't solve the problem! There's a saying in the Vedic spiritual teachings: "Water the root, not

5/the branches." Even if everyone drives an EV, the charging stations are getting their electricity from the grid which ISN'T carbon neutral. If there's a cloud behind the silver lining of the catastrophe of the Green New Deal it's that Americans will vote GOP in 2024 and

6/US auto and gas industries will show the world how capitalism really works by bringing to market, like Porsche 👇, carbon neutral solutions in synthetic fuels, drop-in biofuels (change your fuel, not your engine) & hydrogen fuel cell tech.

7/The Biden Admin says "follow the science". While talk is cheap in the WH, we should follow the science - at the freshman chemistry level. 👇Beginning in 2024
@Johnbarron_46
a GOP Admin should incentivize the US auto & gas industries to pursue every path

8/to carbon neutrality. This means following Porsche's led in carbon neutral synthetic fuels, producing biodiesel (that you drop into your internal combustion engine or jet engine) & developing hydrogen fuel cell car tech. Many irons in the fire beat one.
