Reply to comment by cforbinn in Connecticut’s gas tax is returning incrementally. What’s going on? by NicoleMcIsaac
I work in magnetic levitation now for turbine generators. Tried it with wind farms, it was a waste of raw material for the energy produced. It's not an ego thing, it is a common consensus among actual engineers. Solar makes sense for individuals in their home, but is not cheaper than grid energy unless there is policy in place either subsidizing solar or making grid power more expensive. EV's have limited range and we have only developed a limited infrastructure. We are about 30 years of development away in both the mining and construction of an appropriate infrastructure. They require a significant amount of cobalt and lithium, which are worse for the environment to mine than virtually any other material on the planet and the first cobalt mine in the US isn't going to even begin brining out resources for another 10 years. That would be stock ticker LAC or lithium america corporation, feel free to check Hydro electric and geothermal are good green energy solutions, but most people know nothing about either and are talking about solar when they mean green energy, including you.
