I really am optimistic that solar power is becoming so affordable that trump can’t affect the global trend and can only slightly delay the trend within the US.

This was surprising to me. I definitely thought that the “embodied emissions” were a good reason to keep using my ICE vehicle. But it looks like this is specific to Germany’s grid which is doing much better at making emission free electricity than my local power grid in Missouri. So switching to electric may still not be appropriate when I could probably keep my small ICE car going for another 5 years.

I wish they had a calculator with models of ICE cars, models of EVs, and locations that could help you determine when the best switch over point is.
