I'm old now, but I've seen a lot of changes in my lifetime. The world is going to continue to change no matter what we think or how we vote. We just need to get used to it.
ICE (internal combustion engines) are going to be history. Much of Europe has already past the necessary legislation. The US will follow. By the way, small gas engines, like what we have on our lawn mowers, pollute more than most new automobile engines. Hard to say what the world will be like in 30 years, but it will certainly be a lot different. Loren |

They expect to do so, however, scientists have made the requirements models and studies and told the various governments that it is sustainable. They have northern cold regions in Europe that will require electrical power to be transferred from the electrical grids from other european. countries. Seven scenarios for a 100% renewable European power system were modelled for 2050. Mass mobilization of Europe’s solid biomass and biogas resources would be required. 90% more generation and 240% more transmission capacity would be needed than today. Costs would be $610BUSD per year, 40% more than the current electrical grid. |

When they can use unicorn farts to run electric plants, this will all be fine.
Just as most cities have "no go" zones, enter at your own peril, we are creating "no go" states. California being one of them. Making it impossible or intolerable to even visit, let alone live or do business there. Enjoy your utopia. |
