The same scenario is happening again now with electric vehicles. How do all of these people/states think electricity is produced other than wind & solar, which only account for about 10%, that would be natural gas another of the fossil fuel groups.

For some that have lost sight of the reality of the economic and environmental costs of solar/solar panels and wind turbines - it is enormous....we just get to say "we pay China to produce them and the carbon footprint to go with them" so it doesn't affect us..... A societal statement.
