One thing that will increase the needed electricity to run all electric cars (powered by "Blood Batteries" from the Congo) is that if we use as many pickup trucks as we do now-I assume that an electric F150 will use more electricity than a Prius or a Tesla. Not very many of the pickup truck crowd has gone electric yet.
This will skew the electricity needed more to an expansion of 50% than 20%.
There's another problem with self-driving pickups:
My Self-Driving Truck Done Driven Itself Away
(Verse 1)
G C
Woke up this morning, sun shining high,
G D
Reached for my keys, gave a deep sigh.
G C
Looked out the window, where's my ride?
G D G
My self-driving truck, it left my side.
(Chorus)
G C
My self-driving truck done driven itself away,
G D
Maybe it didn’t like the muddin games I play.
G C
Should've been careful, not been so rough,
G D G
Now I’m here stranded; man, life’s tough.
(Verse 2)
G C
Had some good memories in that truck,
G D
Moonlit drives, getting stuck in muck.
G C
But I reckon it had its very own mind,
G D G
Got tired of muddin, left me behind.
(Chorus)
G C
My self-driving truck done driven itself away,
G D
Guess those dirt roads were a price to pay.
G C
I always thought it'd stay true,
G D G
Never imagined it’d leave without a clue.
(Bridge)
Em C
Now I’m standin' by the roadside,
Em D
Hitching a ride, swallowed my pride.
Em C
Wondering if somewhere tonight,
G D G
My truck's cruising under the starlight.
(Verse 3)
G C
Heard a story about a truck downtown,
G D
Dancing to its engine without a frown.
G C
Could it be mine? Is it living free?
G D G
Wishing I was there for the jamboree.
(Chorus)
G C
My self-driving truck done driven itself away,
G D
I miss it more with each passing day.
G C
Shouldn’t have taken it through all that muddin,
G D G
Regret fills my heart with each thuddin'.
(Outro)
Em C
So here’s to the rides, the mud, and the rain,
Em D
To the joy, the laughter, and the pain.
G C
I’ll always remember, come what may,
G D G
The day my self-driving truck driven itself away.
