We KNOW that most of that power includes fossil fuels. We don't claim otherwise. We also know that the EVs themselves produce zero emissions and any emissions arising from the electricity they use comes from a facility that is far better at cleaning its emissions than any ICE vehicle. We are also generally advocates of moving away from fossil fuels to cleaner forms of energy. So there's absolutely no hypocrisy in the position of promoting EV's. So just stop with this bullshit argument. You're just embarrassing yourself.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but, I have read that if the United States would harvest every photon of light from the Sun that such energy (in Joules) would only meet 50% of that which we consume.
I don’t think that’s correct. To meet all US energy needs would require about 21 000 square miles of solar panels (less, if the technology improves). This is tiny.
