SOME people do not like “FACTS” I work in the energy market,,,To Iithopedion 2 points 1 hour ago +2 / -0 It’s not about right or left, it’s about common since. Do your research. 1) Commercial wind turbine destruction of millions of birds, 2) cost to build (subsidized by tax dollars), 3) wind turbines prices have gone up not down, 4) cost of Decommissioning a turbine is $ 700,000 due to the rotor blades contain glass and carbon fibers that give off dust and toxic gases. 5) China makes 75% worlds solar panels 6) Corruption in U.S. tax dollars billions Solyndra 7) China cutting throats at Solar panels from China are "killing domestic manufacturing," according to the head of the Solar Energy Manufacturers for America Coalition. 8) The use of forced labour in the solar panel industry, particularly among the Uyghur population in China, has been a growing concern. Reports have linked several solar companies with factories in Xinjiang to forced labour practices, particularly for workers from the Uighur minority. 9) Just like nuclear waste you have this By 2050, the International Renewable Energy Agency projects that up to 78 million metric tons of solar panels will have reached the end of their life, and that the world will be generating about 6 million metric tons of new solar e-waste annually. 10) Last but not least Phone and electric car batteries are made with cobalt mined in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Cobalt Red author Siddharth Kara describes the conditions as a "horror show." 11) US tax payers pick up on cost of ownership of EV cars via tax credit, 12) USA power grid Most of the U.S. electric grid was built in the 1960s and 1970s. Today, over 70% of the U.S. electricity grid is more than 25 years old, and that aging system is vulnerable to increasingly intense storms. 13) A severe electromagnetic pulse (EMP) or geomagnetic disturbance (GMD) event could take the power grid down for months, and possibly even for years. An EMP is a very intense pulse of electromagnetic energy, typically caused by the detonation of a nuclear bomb or other high-energy explosive device Prove me wrong

So is owning an EV cheaper in the long run? All signs point to possibly. Maybe. Sometimes. But as we said, at this point in time, it’s complicated.
