In sci.physics Bret Cahill said:Why is cost relevant where you live but irrelevant in the TN River
area?
Well, my cost is the same as about 40 million other people at the
minimum.
The night time wholesale cost of electricity has little to do with
the retail cost to consumers.
The TN River area has a miniscule fraction of the total US population.
Most driving of any kind is not done at night.
You have a powerful congress critter?
Pelosi will support what's good for the entire country, not just Marin
County. After all, she must get the votes of other congresscritters.
Irrelevant.
Less than a $1.50 for the equivalent amount of electric power in most
places and about 70 cents in the Tennessee River area at night.
Irrelevant babble.
That's the advantage of road bed electrification over battery only.
That so called "advantage" means you divide 10.98 by .9 instead of .8.
The efficiency is nearly 100%.
Nonsense; real, big, electric motors get maybe 90% in round numbers.
Maybe where you live. You'll need to post your utility's web page if
you want any credibility on the matter.
The rates are not online for some reason.
In any case, even if the rate is half that, the equivelent electric
gallon goes down to $1.50, which is no big deal.
As I said, the big cost is in the infrastructure; the cost to run
electric vs gas is about a wash.
