I am just south of Silicon Valley area and my power bill was around $300 for a 1100 sq ft town house. Going electric for me would get really pricey.
However, my cabin runs on mostly solar, uses very little electrical and propane. Much cheaper and thought about trading in my Trax (cabin car) up there for completely stripped Bolt EV and getting the $7500 tax credit. Last edited by grgus73; 05-07-2023 at 01:20 AM. |

Let me know how that turns out for you. Oh and as far as efficiency is concerned: Its been proven without napkin math, that EV's lose 41% of their range in cold weather. Try living in a state where there is actual cold weather and tell me EV's are more efficient. The problem isn't kids, the problem is basic common sense isn't as common as people think.

A 400W solar panel receiving 4.5 peak sun hours per day can produce 1.8 kWh of electricity per day Any idea how many square MILES of solar panel would need to be manufactured, installed and maintained? (They do need to be washed periodically to make peak power).

https://archive.vn/EXGjQ#selection-503.12-507.47 here's an excerpt pasted below: Occidental expects to generate between $430 and $630 in revenue per metric ton of atmospheric CO2 captured this decade, including federal tax credits, it said. The company has also applied to generate credits through California’s low-carbon fuel standard, which requires providers of transportation fuels there to reduce the carbon footprint of their product. It will be able to stack federal credits and the California credits, according to the company. Analysts said collecting CO2 from smokestacks requires much less energy and is therefore cheaper. Howard Herzog, a leading researcher on carbon capture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said he didn’t think bringing the cost of direct-air capture down to around $100 a metric ton was a realistic goal. Occidental is “probably more bullish on direct-air capture than I would be,” he said. But he added that how much buyers of carbon credits are willing to pay will also determine how profitable direct-air capture turns out to be. Ms. Hollub told The Wall Street Journal in August that Occidental’s efforts on carbon capture and on becoming a net-zero emitter would allow it to keep up its investments in oil and gas. She warned that underinvestment in fossil fuels, which she says will be needed for years even amid the broader transition to clean energy, will lead to a scarcity of supplies. In contrast, she said, other oil majors such as BP PLC and Shell PLC have shrunk their oil segment and invested in renewables. Oil companies will have to find ways to remove as much carbon dioxide as they emit “if they want to be the last producer standing in the world,” Ms. Hollub said.

EVs will gain bigger and bigger market share over ICE.
Here's the proof. People who invest already see the bottom line numbers. You guys love your V8s, I get it. I do too But the numbers and the trend is there. So you can complain about it, deny carbon dioxide's impact on the environment, or do the whole "old man yells at cloud" thing on EV's. But the rich people have spoken. And they'll drag you kicking and screaming into this brave new world, so deal with it.

Must be nice to be rich, when 99% of the world is not. But ya practicality doesn't matter why would it for people who are rich. Quote:
You do realize most people don't have garages. Where your garage temp is only a few degrees warmer than outside temps, and MOST people don't have heated garages. Seriously stop talking from your snuggly 70 degree winter months. You literally have no clue what winter actually is from Louisiana. Do us a favor and blow smoke up someone else's exhaust pipe. Like I said, Common sense is not as common as people think.

The electrical grids in the SW are never "ready for summer". They just hope they can get through the summer with as few power outages as possible. We've already had an afternoon outage here this spring and the hundred days of 100's hasn't even begun. |

What people do not realize is that fossil fuels are made from dead plant/animal material.
It is no different than burning a piece of wood or other biomass.
