This stampede to switch to electric cars and heat pumps will put a big strain on our already crumbling grid. Night workers will charge their cars during the day, while day workers will have to charge their vehicles at night, thus putting a 24-hour a day strain on the electric grid. All this stampeding for green energy is false, as solar panels are not biodegradable and not permanent. When they fall apart in a few decades what do we do with the unusable materials? I must add that solar panel farms are the ugliest sight ever. It would seem logical to concentrate on nuclear power, our only hope for the future of this country. ~ Frank D.
