    All in? Define that. Our power company pushes EVs by helping pay for installing a fast charger and listing reliable vendors. Is that all in?

    If you ran a power utility, it makes sense to install luxury power generation systems so that you get a greater profit margin. Solar and wind are luxury systems that are costly to install and generate better profits as a result. The same goes for EV's. This is a new source of revenue where you the power company make money, and the middleman owning the system makes money. At $0.20 + per KWH charged, you are breaking even with gasoline. Above that, you are making bank compared to Exxon...

    Can you point to where it was clear in his post he was referring to the entire world? Grooming and woke are not words associated with the entire world.
