Where does your power come from?

Right now? Primarily hydro with a strong solar and wind showing. Roughly 10% of my power is from Fossil fuels.

You are just shifting the shit elsewhere

Even with a pure fossil fuel grid, EVs still end up producing less CO2 than ICE vehicles. However, grids aren't pure fossil fuels which means EVs are far cleaner than Fossil fuel vehicles. Especially in my current circumstance.

Less than 8% of energy consumption in the US comes from renewable energy. Another 8% come from nuclear.

13% while being one of the fastest growing energy production sectors.

That's petrol / natural gas / coal powering your home, factories, shops, and restaurant

Not mine because I live in the Pacific North West which is the greenest grid in the US.

I'm just saying right now more than 80% of all energy in the use comes from non renewable / non nuclear power. I'm glad your area has great renewable energy sources in place.

I'm powered by Sharon Harris nuclear plant.

I'm not saying that EVs aren't better, I'm saying that it's not a magic bandaid. Obviously there is not one fix or easy fix.

I don't need to get into my corpo hate right now because I'm tired and I just wanna mine space rocks.

I think we are on the same page. I completely agree that EVs aren't enough or even the best solution.

You're only 27-30% powered by nuclear or renewable.

If they could only use hog shit to power me - but don't get me started on NC pig farms. Disgusting.
