This article emphasizes that electric transmission lines are needed to connect US consumers to zero emission electricity. Adult comedian John Oliver gives us the whole story. https://www.power-grid.com/td/transmission-to-connect-us-consumers-to-zero-emission-electricity/

2021-11-08 Boosting Transmission Betw. East, West Grids – NREL
NREL study said boosting transmission between the eastern and western grids would save money. The dirty, rotten, evil Trump administration held up the NREL report because they thought it would harm the coal industry. They tried to kill the Earth with coal! https://www.utilitydive.com/news/transmission-east-west-seams-grids-lowers-costs-nrel-wind-solar/608475/.
2021-10-27 The Electric Grid Will Not Be Overloaded By EVs
From FB reply. Jeff Perry I call BS on your specious assertions. The electric grid will not have to be upgraded more than a third because the energy used by EVs is less than 1/3 of the energy of a fossil fuels car. There will no longer be drilling, refining, transporting and dispensing fossil fuels,

2021-09-30 UK Law To Switch Off Chargers To Prevent Blackouts
This makes good sense. If the charger is V2G then it would already be under control of the grid. The chargers could be (and probably are) WiFi enabled so they could be enabled, disabled or controlled remotely by the utility. https://insideevs.com/news/537120/ev-chargers-switched-off-uk/

2021-07-17 Wiring A House With Low Voltage Wiring
David Schamus Said, “A whole house low voltage system … could easily reduce the amount of 120/240 wiring in a home and reduce fire risk…” Tradeoffs are the major problem. The cost of half inch diameter copper wire to wire a home with 12V would be prohibitively expensive; and 5V would be 2.5 times more

2021-07-09 Resilient Grid Proposed For Surging Power Demand
This article is about the proposal to build distribution and transmission infrastructure to allow renewables to get to the consumers. But it’s obvious that the electric utilities are promoting this because the utilities are afraid that rooftop solar will take away the utilities’ control of where the electricity comes from. The rooftop solar plus battery

2021-06-04 EVs Will Require More Power Plants Debunked
My reply to FB comment. Jeffery D. Elliott Said, “… the demand for electricity [for charging] will require more power plants and that will drive the cost up. You don’t hear much about that.” The reason why you don’t ‘hear much about that’ is because it’s *not true*. The amount of power wasted by the

2021-05-21 Green Hydrogen And 100% Renewables Plus Storage
The halting of climate change requires that fossil fuels be replaced; the CO2 must be stopped from entering the atmosphere. The consensus is to build wind and solar farms to generate electricity instead of using fossil fuels. Since renewables are intermittent, there must be some way to store and supply electricity when renewables are not

2021-03-08 Billions And Billions of kWh and Money??
I went here to see what the EIA says about this BS and the figures he gave look totally fake. https://www.eia.gov/electricity/data/browser/#/topic/0?agg=2,0,1&fuel=vtvv&geo=g&sec=g&linechart=ELEC.GEN.ALL-US-99.M~ELEC.GEN.COW-US-99.M~ELEC.GEN.NG-US-99.M~ELEC.GEN.NUC-US-99.M~ELEC.GEN.HYC-US-99.M~ELEC.GEN.WND-US-99.M~ELEC.GEN.TSN-US-99.M&columnchart=ELEC.GEN.ALL-US-99.M~ELEC.GEN.COW-US-99.M~ELEC.GEN.NG-US-99.M~ELEC.GEN.NUC-US-99.M~ELEC.GEN.HYC-US-99.M~ELEC.GEN.WND-US-99.M&map=ELEC.GEN.ALL-US-99.M&freq=M&start=200101&end=202012&chartindexed=0&ctype=linechart<ype=pin&rtype=s&pin=&rse=0&maptype=0 I got this from a comment in https://youtu.be/xYtMu9-d6kI << motofunk ยท 5 hours ago It’s a huge change coming.
