In this episode of the Facts Are What Matter we are going to analyze and discuss the practicality, as far as energy, of moving from gasoline powered automobiles to all electric passenger cars and light trucks. We will calculate how much additional electricity is needed for 100% electric cars and light trucks. Then we will compute how much new generation we would need and if it could be met with current resources. How many nuclear reactors or solar arrays will be needed. How much real estate will that take. Finally we will answer if it can it be done by the 2050 goal or is it a "Bright Green Impossibility".
