Comment | SORE 2021 will cause extreme hardships on people who depend upon generators during the power grid shutoffs. People need generators to refrigerate their medications, operate their medical equipment, and for heating and cooling during extreme temperatures. Electric chainsaws will not work for tree clearance during and after wildfires--they are underpowered and have short battery life. Cutting trees down before and during wildfires saves lives in preventing fire spread. Electric boat motors are inefficient and not compatible with the needs of emergency response, they will also leave people stranded in lakes, rivers, and oceans when the batteries expire. Electric batteries are detrimental to the environment, e.g., they leave toxic elements in landfills, the strip mining involved in procuring the materials for the batteries decimates the land, they catch fires that can't be extinguished. |
