Yeah I don't see a big EPIC FAIL on the governments part. Our grid is stretched to its limits as is and we have yet to address any new base load generation power plants. so what happens when we all go buy electric cars and plug them in at night? I will tell you.. Rolling to total blackouts/brownouts across the country. Solar and wind do not have the capacity factor nor the efficiency. so you have one of two options. Nuclear or Fossil fuels..It takes years to construct either plant, longer for the nuclear due to the licensing procedures. At the moment with no construction going on, you are looking at 2016 for the first new nuclear plant..I do not track the fossil plants but i do know that a new one has been proposed for west Kansas.
What does all this mean to you? well with the new "cap and tax" bill you will pay more because of your increased energy usage. suffer power loses at home while you are trying to relax and watch that favorite sitcom of yours, and be forced to listen to the misses complain why you haven't fixed the shelf in the bathroom yet. good job environmental nut jobs....your efforts are as futile as the mission accomplished sign presented by Bush on navy ship.
