It's a pretty big fucking evasion of responsibility to assume otherwise just because one mistakenly believes that solar energy is more than an vast waste of money for no result, and that it magically dominates the grid.

On my grid, an electric car is dirtier than an internal combustion engine car, as I noted citing a scientific paper on the subject involving my grid, the PJM grid:

The fucking planet is burning, most notably in car nirvana, the LA area, and still we have to listen to this shit.
