Someone built/completed an EV charging station in the WinnDixie grocery store parking lot about 18 months ago in Lake Park, Ga. It has about 10 or 12 chargers. It is full of EVs everytime I drive by it...but Interstate 75 is only about 2 or 3 blocks away so interstate traffic utilizes it.

That's a great idea and clean power. But people can't get past the radio active part....lol. They've even developed small ones the size of a pad mount transformer. When a car or snow plow takes out one of ours, there's usually oil around and we have to to a big environmental thing and barricade the area until it's tested and cleaned up. Now imagine a small nuclear reactor in peoples front yards!....lol

Where's all this electricity coming from anyways? Based on 2023 statistics natural gas 43% Nuclear 18% coal 16% wind 10% hydro 6% solar 4% biomass 1% oil < 1% geothermal <1%

I like the chart Mike shared. I don't know the percentages , but that one seems about right. I smile looking at solar....the panels mostly made in China, with their many many fossil fuel plants to make them all. Same with wind, all fossil fuels and when they leak oil, stop working due to cold winter, etc., the parts are non-biodegradable. Plus killing birds . If anyone shot them, , would bring long jail times and large expenses in fees. But the ugly wind farms can kill them in the millions. I do like Hydro , when I lived in HI, that source was popular , but limited. All powered, built, and made possible by fossil fuel. Dave, America has a huge wealth of fuel , and with the building of more resources to process them, and kicking in the existing ones, I'm not worried anymore. Nothing like my V8 and the low rumble of glass packs

You guys gotta build more dams, cleanest power out there and you keep using the same water over and over with multiple dams. If Alberta's $ is oil, our big $ is hydro power.

Check out Thorium molten salt reactors. they can be run on the waste of the main reactors. No chance of a run away like Chernoby https://www.bing.com/search?pglt=29...ajGoAgiwAgE&FORM=ANNTA1&PC=LCTSl

Tech has made things harder nothing is easy to figure out now, technology does not equal to simpler it’s just more BS to figure out. The goal is to sell apps not simplify much of anything. A modern vehicle could have dozens of controls on the dashboard and apps in the systems.
My wife bought a new Subaru she had to go to a class of figure out how the tech stuff works on it and she still can’t figure it all out but she likes pushing buttons. LOL
Some folks live for that junk me I’m not wasting my days on this useless garbage.

if the flow of water is minimal. which is typically is. how in sam heyull do you think anything hydro is going to make energy. fossil fuels and nuclear. its that simple. I dont trust one dam thing that comes outta Canada. yall are so much further screwed in the head than we are at this point that it is unfathomable to remotely believe that anything said from anyone up there could be logically or rationally taken at face value.
Just reference Warriors post about Church last week. nuf said hoseheads Ok, I went on a bit of a rant and made you look pretty stupid, so I edited this comment. God bless you sheepster…..lol
