At least some people fianlly have woken up. Or so it seems.

This comes a week after a news report saying that even if just the minimum quota for electrifcation ofindividual traffic with batter-cars would be met over the coming ten years, this would mean that after wokring hours lights and heating in germany would be "switched off" just so to charge the dcars, and that therefore power for car charging would be rationized, which in return would mean that the in dovidual traffic, the private drivers, would run into mounting risks regarding the reach of their cars.


This battery-driven eletrification idea leads nowhere, I think. It can be only a solution for locally focussed, limited traffic , oike delivery services and such. All prvater hpuseholds running on batteries? I have stopped believing this already years ago. Producing hydrogene may need a lot of work and energy, but form nothign comes nothing, and the idea that we could live as before without self-limitations but reduce energy conummation rates, is for little children only.



This is part of the great self-deception anyway: to think we could have both: a cleaner world without cutting back luxury, consummation, and population numbers (globally). We may want to have it all - but we cannot have it.
