Both!

It’s gonna be awesome and solve the housing crisis. Poor and middle class can live in the Central Valley and take the high speed rail to the Bay Area to provide goods and services to the wealthy!

Switzerland Considers Electric Vehicle Ban To Avoid Blackouts



Switzerland could limit the use of electric vehicles (EVs) in cases of electricity supply shortages this winter under a new four-step plan to prevent power cuts and blackouts.

To ensure energy security this winter, Switzerland could become the first country to limit the driving and use of EVs, German daily Der Spiegel reports, citing multiple media reports on the Swiss four-stage action plan to avoid blackouts.

Driving EVs could be banned in Switzerland unless in cases of “absolutely necessary journeys” in stage three of the power conservation plans. The country also plans a stricter speed limit on highways in the recently proposed action plan, which has yet to be adopted.

Switzerland typically imports electricity from France and Germany to meet all its power demand, but this year supply from its neighbors is constrained.

In France, the nuclear fleet availability is much lower than usual, which has led to the country becoming a net importer of electricity after decades of being a net exporter. The French electricity grid is at higher risk of strained power supplies in January 2023 than previously estimated due to lower nuclear power generation. The country could face the risk of power cuts this winter when electricity supply may not be enough to meet demand, Xavier Piechaczyk, the head of grid operator RTE, said earlier this week.

In Germany, the situation is similar, as utilities are having to make do with no Russian pipeline gas supply. 

Switzerland’s power supply remains uncertain for the winter and troubles with enough electricity capacity cannot be ruled out, the Swiss Federal Electricity Commission, Elcom, said as early as in June. Due to the expected lower availability of French nuclear power generation and of France’s power exports to Switzerland, the Swiss imports of power generated in France is likely to be much lower this winter compared to previous winter seasons, Elcom said.

Therefore, Switzerland may need to cover its electricity import needs of around 4 gigawatt hours (GWh) from imports from its other neighbors Germany, Austria, and Italy. However, the power export availability of those countries would heavily depend on the available fossil fuels, mostly natural gas, according to Elcom.

Looks like common sense is starting to kick in.

He does a great job exposing the untold truths of EV's and their charging stations.

I also laughed at this one too...

The old saying "If its happening in the EU it's coming to America" is alive and well. Common Sense doesn't have a 2nd gear.

Is it just me, or do some people seem kinda scared of EV’s?

If the Energy Departments announcement tomorrow about a break thru in fission is a repeatable experiment, and it can become viable in the timeframe I've heard rumors about ,it will makes EVs a lot more practical. It should also kill most of the other green energy bull.

Fusion would be a god send. And when they make it work YouTube will be flooded with videos about how bad it is (cause it supplants gas and oil).

I’ve had a few good belly laughs about the EV “facts” I have seen.
“The electrical grid can’t support everyone having an EV”. Haw haw haw. Everyone can’t have an EV because it will take decades to produce them all - decades when the grid would be build with more capacity even if there no EVs.

But, it is moving away from gas and oil - all ways bad to some.

And we live in a time when many have been taught not to trust science, engineering, medicine…



Anyway, EV’s are coming in the next few decades. And once people really see them their popularity will grow.

What you call fear, I prefer to call intelligent caution. You're the poster boy for the old saying "A fool and his money are soon parted". In typical Marxist fashion you want everyone to jump aboard your new liferaft "because" you got suckered in on a new toy. Do you see the Emperor's new clothes? How magnificent they are, because you tell us all the time. How silly we are for not seeing them. You got bamboozled. Somehow you feel that using child labor and diesel powered earth movers to strip mine the Earth for minerals is okay. All in nations that don't GAF about the environment nor human rights all in the name of dropping gasoline. Why? Because the Earth is dying. Let me be the first person to tell you that the Earth will be here after you die and will continue just fine as well. Man isn't affecting the Earth's ozone or C02 to the point of extinction. I get it, you're scared. You've been told the Earth is rapidly heating up and that's causing the place to crash and burn and you feel personally responsible or at least want the ribbon dujour upon your breast to show neighbors that are scared too that you're doing something. You hold your little fists up to the sky and curse gasoline stations as you pass them all while not even noticing the petroleum used to manufacture your shiny animal and environment friendly non- internal combusting engine. Why it doesn't even make a sound...how cute. Why the simple act of putting your new toy on the grid...the very grid that is most likely powered by nuclear or coal powered plants (GASP!) and that in some cases is the fault of brownouts and blackouts due to usage today will never be a problem as tax dollars are used to place charging stations so you can make it out of your county on a tank of electricity. I'll be the first person to tell you that the petroleum industry is NEVER going to go away. EVER. Meanwhile, each day there are more headlines that make anyone on the verge of plunking down close to 100K for a vehicle of your choosing wary. Wary that they're being scammed. Wary that it's not right. Wary of the dangers this vehicle is to the very environment people want to save. Please, tell us all how you're the leader of the EV and delight us with your newfound ways and rub all of our unwashed noses in it.
