Karen, no you can't.
It IS possible to drive an EV without coal, but not in the midwest or the west mountain States, where coal is used to provide electrical power.
In other parts of the country, oil or natural gas is used.
In certain limited locations, hydroelectric power is available. It is still supplemented by fuel burning power plants though.
Another part that is conveniently ignored as well is the wasted energy to generate and distribute all that power to charge an EV. All in all, about twice the energy is used to get an EV to travel the same distance as a similar sized gasoline car.
Another part that is conveniently ignored is the current capacity of power generating and distribution, which will have to be massively expanded if EVs are mandated in 2036. A problem of particular importance to the SDTC, which imports almost all their power now, having very little generating capacity of their own. Guess how all that power would have to be generated? That's right! Carbon based fuels!
Guess how long it takes to build a power plant and get it online, or the time it takes to expand the distribution system to handle the increased requirements? Or the cost? Who's going to pay for it all? The government? That's just communism at that point! The government is broke. Where are they going to get the money to pay for it all? Print it??
So neither the US nor Sweden is in the Arctic circle while they both have land in the Arctic circle. Gwad you Libratard are Morons.
