Think The Power Grid Is Stressed Now? Wait Until We Get More Electric Cars

With more Americans turning to electric vehicles (if you can find one!) due to the sky high gas prices, courtesy of the Biden administration, there is one thing they are not telling you.

The pressure that too many EV's too soon, will put on our power grid.

"As EV ownership expands, and more charging expands, especially in people's homes, we're going to be putting a huge load on the grid" said climate expert and author Marc Morano, "At the same time, the other force that's happening is they're trying to shut down fossil fuels across the country."

So while the idea of more electric cars may look good on paper, our already stressed power grids are not equipped or ready, for a jolt from too many new EV's.

"Fossil fuels are being restricted, people are being essentially forced, subsidized, and coerced in to electric cars, and they're now plugging into a grid that's going to have more scarce energy and higher prices" Morano told KTRH, "It's not a good trend, the only way you get out of this is magical thinking of climate activists."

There's no magic needed. Right now worldwide, electric cars are running at about 1%, but all of the equipment for all of these 'green' plans, need to be built and operated with oil and gas. Plus, as we've documented several times, the batteries and solar panels will be coming from Russia and China.

The bottom line is, Biden and the Democrats want us to go from being energy independent, to being dependent on our enemies.
