Because both can be done at the same time, and the reality is that it will take years - a decade, at the very minimum IMO - for EV's to largely replace ICE engines. But upgrading the grid for electric vehicles isn't even the primary issue anymore. The most pressing need is to improve and harden our energy infrastructure against extreme weather events brought on by climate change. That's why there was a strain on California's power grid, and that's why people have been dying in places like Texas from extreme cold and/or extreme heat - the current energy infrastructure can't handle it, and it's not going to get any better anytime soon. Well, that’s your opinion. I view everything from the lens of a farmer. We’ve had far worse droughts years and years ago, we’ve had far worse winters, 1949 is a perfect example, a few years ago we had so much rain that we couldn’t get in the fields it was so plentiful. That’s the way it is. It goes in waves. It always has. Do I think we should all do our part to take care of the environment? Absolutely. I just think the majority of environmental activist never practice what they preach. For example did you fly to Europe? You’re well aware of how much emissions a jet releases right? Your business accounts fly all over the world all the time in private jets? What have you done about that? I gotta be honest - I don't give AF about 1949 in Nebraska (wait, was that the last time Nebraska was any good in football?). A weather event and climate change are two different things. Climate change is a fact, not an opinion. Another fact is that commercial aviation is a necessary component of the global economy, and contributes about 5% of total emissions annually. The good news is that airplane and engine manufacturers continue to research ways to improve efficiency and reduce emissions, which is the major point here: recognizing the seriousness of the issue and looking for solutions (and no, "just stop flying" is not real-world answer). The same goes for improving the energy infrastructure - recognizing the problem and dealing with the problem, so somebody's grandparents don't have to freeze to death in Fort Worth.

You guys keep fighting the good fight, I have to go to work, that’s what we do here in the Midwest, you guys continue to argue about nothing for hours because that’s obviously what your schedule is. Have a great day everyone. On a Saturday? Do you lack self awareness? I'll admit that I'll goof off here on weekends while I'm in front of the TV, but will just check in occasionally on weekdays during breaks, but many I don't get how someone who claims to work manages to spend SO MUCH FREAKING TIME posting random stuff here.

Have a great day everyone. You've spent all morning doing exactly that. Do you refer to this as "executive time," like Trump?

It would actually be fun…Loosen up
