Can someone explain to me, like I'm 8 years old, why many of our richest, liberal aligned states in the North East, are pathetically far behind on Renewables and EVs?
I get the midwest implosion with U.S. automakers doing everything they can to sabotage the area. But this concentration of wealth...
EV adoption is reasonably high (i think), at least in areas. Charging infrastructure is good. Electricity production is crap because 30 years ago the governors were super interested in natural gas and pipelines thinking it was the way to retire nuclear (which was seen as the worst form of energy).
It depends on your metric
If you’re serious about climate change and stopping so many kids from getting sick the adoption and charging rates are objectively poor compared to other developed countries, or California. That’s the rub, global problem, handicapping expectations to inept ares won’t help
