Energy Realism last week focused on EV problems and why electricity affordability and reliability are so increasingly essential. 

Geoffrey Pohanka got us started last week. The electric car transition is not going as fast as many predicted due to the headwinds of affordability (especially with higher interest rates fueled by inflation), range anxiety, and the lack of a convenient and reliable charging infrastructure. In this article, Geoffrey explores one of them, range anxiety. Promises by President Elect Trump to eliminate EV subsidies would cause even more headwinds for the rate of EV adoption. Indeed, The Empowerment Alliance confirms that natural gas is really the foundation of our energy future, not EVs and renewables. For example, gas will clearly remain the basis of our electric power system. And Kevin Doyle explains why stable power and stable power markets are so vital to our energy future. Georgia is proving it.
