but how will they deal with the additional surge on the already stressed grid and no water?

this is national virtue signaling and there's no way that ICE cars are going away. I know several people who sold their electric cars and are back to ICE because these electric cars struggle during cold weather, snow, and uphills. Not everybody lives in a flat terrain

ICE cars are not going away unless they are able to suddenly produce EV in such massive numbers that it will become cheaper than ICE AND handle the load on the grid.

EVs struggle in mountainous and cold weather regions which Japan and South Korea regularly go through. On top of that there is a growing water shortage which means the nuclear power plants being built will be capped.

All of this weird wokeness and virtue signaling is only making the world a worse place. The bulk of the co2 production comes from countries that make cheap goods for Californians and in wealthy nations. But you won't give up your goods now for a better world right? It has to be the talking points by ESG lobbyist and corporate interest.

What a sad pathetic world. At this rate MIT is dead on money about society collapsing.
