ATR: More high power lines besmirching the views.

Though Texas is cross-crossed with thousands and thousands of thousands of miles of underground pipelines transmitting crude oil, gasoline, naptha and other petroleum products.

Going to have to extract more oil, natural gas, go nuclear or import all of same. That electricity to charge the auto will have to come from somewhere. Don't even think wind and solar will do the job.

California had rolling black outs, and Texas just had dozens of people die from hypothermia because they had no heat. There is great resistance to building new power plants, but a big push to move to electric vehicles. Meanwhile billions are no longer spent by Congress--now they are spending TRILLIONS. If people don't wake up and throw out the leftists, this country will be baking in the summer, freezing in the winter, in the dark with no electricity. Electric cars will sit idle waiting for enough electricity to charge them. The one thing there won't be a shortage of is dollars--hyperinflation will mean that enormous numbers of almost worthless dollars will be needed to buy anything. And those who saved for old age will find that their savings are now worth nothing. Wake up, America!
