In the world of new energy vehicles, the U.S. power grid is still too weak

Original title: in the world of new energy vehicles, the U.S. power grid is still too weak
The development of new energy vehicles is unstoppable. However, the power grid problem has emerged. Can the American power system charge more and more new energy vehicles?
In California, blackouts and utility companies calling on users to reduce power consumption are common, as are New York, Texas and Louisiana.
According to the Washington Post, although the United States focuses on the future development of new energy vehicles, it is now facing a bottleneck in power generation. With the increasing demand for automobile power supply in the United States, the power grid will be seriously challenged.
Gil quiniones, head of the New York electricity authority, said that we must start paying attention to the power grid, otherwise we will be caught off guard.
A new study shows that by 2050, the power consumption of cars, trucks and buses in New York City will account for 14% of New York's total power generation, which is equivalent to the power consumption of a city with a population of 4 million.
Shuli Goodman, executive director of LF engin project of Linux foundation, said that the future power grid will no longer be like the current power grid, but more like the Internet.
Clean energy power generation is frequently blocked
Last week, Biden's green policy agenda was questioned. Senator Manchin said he would not support the "clean power performance plan", which costs $150 billion to promote utility companies to obtain more power from clean energy. Without financial support, renewable power generation will be blocked.
Although U.S. government officials have been optimistic about the development of wind and solar energy, the power generation capacity of renewable energy such as wind energy is limited and unstable. For example, wind power accounts for only 3% of New York's total power generation.
Jason Du terroil, an employee of wind turbine company, said that the terrain in other parts of New York is not suitable for wind power generation, and the location of wind farms along the east coast is more difficult.
Tug hill land trust, a private non-profit organization, opposes the installation of wind turbines in some rural areas of New York. A representative of the organization believes that it is meaningless to cut down trees to build windmills in order to combat climate change.
The number of new energy vehicles continues to increase, and the New York power grid must generate electricity according to the 70 / 30 target, that is, 70% of the electricity will be carbon free by 2030.
Although solar energy is also considered a solution, especially for large cities, not everyone believes that the needs of large enterprises and residents will not overwhelm the power grid.
Quiniones said con ed would collapse when the cars of transportation companies such as Amazon, FedEx and United Express needed to be charged together.
