Centralizing control of energy…
Switching to electricity from fossil fuels will have the result of centralizing control of energy and movement.
Once converted, the government can turn off power anywhere.
(Police routinely cut off power to entire neighborhoods to exert control over a situation.)
Vehicle chargers can be set on timers and be made available when city, county, state, federal governments see fit. They can be turned off as long as the government thinks it’s necessary to control us.
Punitive and retaliatory blackouts.
If the government doesn’t want us to go anywhere there’s no need to put up thousands of road blocks. They just turn off the chargers. As it stands now, power to travel is available to everyone at any time from many many vendors and there is pricing competition. You can build up supplies of gasoline and diesel.
Heating and cooling of homes and businesses would come under the same control.
Governments shouldn’t have that kind of power. They can’t be trusted with that kind of power.
