Market for Electric Vehicle Batteries Is Heating Up

Electric vehicles are great, but they are going to create the next major catastrophy if we do not act immediately. A Prius takes 36kwh to charge. Multiply that times several hundred thousand. Now add in the average household using 8% more electricity then we did ten years ago. Now equate in no new power plant. In MIchigan we have been trying to get permits for eight new much needed plants for many years. Forbes and The Associated Press both have had articles recently warning about brown and blackouts in the near future. Even though wind and solar may be more expensive, they are our only option to augement power during peak demand periods. Solar produces the most when the power companies are at full capacity. This is on hot sunny days when everyone has their airconditioning on.
