Reply to comment by crammed174 in High utility charges could derail MTA’s $1.1B electric bus transition by PichuLovy

Well, in a few years all new developments will have to be electric (heat, ovens etc). I'm sure we'll have upgraded the infrastructure by then... right?

I’m not against it. By all means, I think we should have 100% nuclear power supplemented with solar, hydro and wind where feasible and everything should be electric. That way everything is actually clean energy (and cheap). I just don’t see it happening in the timeframe people aspire to, or even the government thinks it can mandate.

Well, nothing ever really happens on time when the gov't is setting the dates. I do agree it will be a net-positive when it's implemented, I just don't trust the grid to be updated and we'll be stuck with insufficient energy while everyone looks around with a shocked pikachu face
