5 hours agoIf we’re doing short stories, I have two recommendations:
- Ted Chiang’s Stories of Your Life and Others.
- Kurt Vonnegut’s Welcome to the Monkey House.
Definitely better to charge an EV with clean energy. But it’s probably better to charge an EV with dirty electricity than it is to keep using a combustion vehicle.
IIRC a gas vehicle is something like 20% thermally efficient, whereas a coal/oil power plant can be up to 60%. So even if my EV is charging off oil or coal, I’m getting 3x the energy per unit of emissions compared to a gas vehicle (though who knows how that translates to miles of range).
