I live in a place with exactly 1 natural gas energy plant and something like 300 square miles of solar panels.
The solar panels are placed in the wilderness and an eye sore. At least with a coal plant I can expect it.
I wish I was as delusional as most pro-EV people. Not only is EV an environmental nightmare (batteries? Where does energy come from?) the options right now for renewables are wholly inefficient and an eyesore. We'd do more to stop people from flying aircraft and driving large cruise liners. But that would get in the way of profits. Champagne socialists are hilarious.
So you'd rather energy generation needed for our society just be swept under a rug somewhere you can't see, rather than confronting the realities of modern consumption?
Homes need to be heated, people need to be transported. You can only play a shell game for so long.
