Electricity is too wasteful, expensive, inefficient and damaging to the environment to be used frivolously. People have been convinced of the opposite—that electricity is approximately free and devoid of negatives. So a lot of correcting is needed.

The concept 50 years ago was that electricity is a luxury that you use sparingly, unless you are wantonly rich. That perspective should be even more correct with advancing technology; yet frauds reversed the concept in the eyes of the public.

First, consider transmission of electricity. Stringing lines around is so destructive that there has been a shortage of transmission lines for a long time. Can you imagine what a hundred miles of transmission lines consist of? It's unimaginable, the amount of metal in the wires, the steel in the towers, the concrete under each tower. There would need to be millions of miles of lines to electrify transportation.

Compare it to burning gas. Dump a truck load of gas at a gas station. It sits there until used—maybe a month, maybe a year, no difference between them, no waste.

Compare it to charging batteries. The peak amperage determines the diameter of the wire required. If it is a one second pulse of 100 amps per year, it is the same wire as 100 amps every minute for a year. The peak amperage determines the thickness of the wire.

Consider the voltage. Overhead lines go up to two million volts; moderately sized are half million volts. But underground, only 10 thousand volts can be used, because arcing through the insulation to humid soil will occur at more voltage. Sometimes, 20 thousand volts are used, and then much of the electricity is lost going into the ground depending upon moisture in the ground.

Electrical power is amps times volts. So if the voltage of a moderate line is reduced from 500 thousand volts to 10 thousand volts, the amperage must be increased by a factor of 50 for the same amount of power. The diameter of the wire is cross-sectional area divided by pi. So 50/π = 16. That means the underground line must be 16 times the diametere of the overhead line. A one inch overhead line must be replace with a 16 inch underground line. A 16 inch copper rod welded in sections like an oil pipeline is out of the question. There isn't enough copper on planet earth to supply charging stations with copper rods under the ground.

Are overhead transmission lines going to be used along every highway for charging stations? No one is going to allow it; and the metals would run out awful fast.

Germany built windmills off the coast and then could not get the electricity piped to southern Germany where it was needed. Overhead lines were not tolerable, and underground lines don't handle enough power. How they resolved the problem, I don't know. But multiply that problem by a factor of about a hundred million for renewable energy and charging stations in the U.S. That's why the charging stations don't exist and never will.

The first 5% of the charging stations can tap into the system designed for toasters, which, for a short time is portrayed as almost free energy and then projected into the future as free energy forever. But there is six times as much energy used as hydrocarbons as electricity. That means the electrical systems need to increase by 600%, not 5%.

On top of that, putting charging stations where gas stations used to be requires special lines following every highway carrying the amount of energy that transportation uses. That about doubles again the amount of electrical lines needed.

Storing electrical energy in batteries is just as ridiculous. Electrons have to be surrounded by a large amount of mass, because only the outer shell electrons of heavy metals can be linearized. That means a lot of nuclei must be included with linearized electrons. The mass (weight) is in the nuclei that must be included with linearized electrons.

Fakes keep pretending that they are improving batteries with new materials. They are talking about 5-10% improvements, while the miss is 500% and will never be fixed.

Electric vehicle batteries weigh about 1,200 pounds average. That's like carrying around 8 passengers. That weight is made up of expensive and rare materials. There is a lithium war already—the cheapest part of the battery. The batteries deteriorate and must be replaced about every ten years with no realistic method of recycling.

You know that; but you get nothing but fraud on the subject. Those massive quantities cannot be multiplied times several billion every ten years.

What the frauds intend to do is make transportation so impractical that only the rich can afford it. Even if it takes ten years, they reduce the social order to fraud getting there, which means power for incompetents running our lives. And they are outlawing gasoline engines in about ten years.
