as an engineer I hate when they pick it has to be an EV. I hate EVs for so many reasons. they are not eco at all from rare earth metals and ewaste and energy needed to make them. and the child labor for cobolt mining etc.
and national security wise terrible, what happens when we have a real war like a nuclear war and the grid is taken out. with gasoline infrastructure at least there is some chance of some vehicles working to move people and stuff around but not for EVs if the whole grid is down.
They don't allow for other "green" alternatives? they just pick EVs as "the solution". dumb on so many levels.
there is also a reason we have the strategic oil reserve. it is to buffer shocks in demand for energy. and for national defense purposes of course. basically if the oil get turned off elsewhere the military will have enough fuel to retake oil fields that were turned off. etc. and to keep economy going. if everything is electric where is all this strategic 'stored energy" coming from? nowhere, that's where.
