It can't get to the moon, there's no air for the rocket exhaust to push against.

I'm not worried about getting a rocket to the moon. I want to know how the Military is going to protect us with nothing but Electricity??? Really, really long extension cords?? You do know that just one High Altitude Nuke will release an EMP that will disable just about all thing Electric/ Electronic.

Where the heck does it say anywhere that the military is going EV?
My goodness. I use Oregon as an example. ICE cars are still allowed in the state past 2035. You can buy one from another state and bring it to Oregon. You can buy used ICE cars. ICE vehicles will be around for many years to come.

I think we have more issues if all the electricity is gone. Last time the power went out near me Safeway and Shell were closed.

Good point, goducks. So by going 100% EV, we are kind of putting all our eggs in one basket. Makes me glad I can live off grid.

Without getting political the good old Pres said the Military would be all electric by 2035, I believe that was the date. No mention how they were going to fly Jets or move our Aircraft Carriers.

Distributed electric such as your off grid home does have an advantage over the massive interconnected oil supply and electric grid. The large utility scale systems can more easily be disrupted. Solar on every home and business not so much.

Fracking caused contaminated wells and gave the industry a black eye.
Yes it's plentiful but at what cost?
It maybe clean burning but it is debatable how clean it is to produce.

The same can be said for any similar activity in the industrialized world; such as mining, building dams, or just manufacturing in general (steel companies were notorious for pollution, communities discharging sewers to rivers - even to this day, etc.).
However, with proper technics and safeguards in place, the risks are effectively minimized. Or - we can be perfectly safe just go back to the stone age when there were no man made risks in life.

Guess I didn't see that. Hmmm. Don't think that will happen.
