The USA should be making China-level investments in solar. They should be building their own companies and more tax dollars should go to solar than weapons.
I mean, the solution seems to be right there… Cars are batteries.
And many (most?) cars don’t need their 100%, so just let the cars that happens to be charged sell some of it back during the night?
More investment, for sure. That’s why I was so surprised with the green new deal, I had no suspicions that the US was actually going to start investing in its infrastructure and energy again.
I don’t know what you mean by modern wars are fought over energy?
The Russian-Ukraine war is about pride, territory and farmland, the genocides going on right now around the world are about race/pride, a lot of conflicts in sub-Saharan African countries about who gets to be the leader, which wars are you referring to specifically with regard to energy and what type of energy are you talking about?
I guess. They did say all modern wars, and those are a few wars that aren’t very modern, so I was wondering if there was some other situation they were referring to.
I swear someone said something very like that in amovie I saw recently, but I cannot remember what the movie was.
Ahh, let me revise; I meant resources not just specifically energy.
So in global political economic theory, wars over race/pride/territory are the superficial reasons for the war. The underlying cause is usually due to resources, or scarcity of. Consider that the people who start these wars are usually starting them because they want more resources. Russia invaded Ukraine because they want that territory in their sphere of influence, not the west’s. But there are a couple pipelines that run through Ukraine that generate several billion dollars a year in transit revenue for both Ukraine and Russia.
Syria for example, the US instigated the Arab spring in that country and still occupies the eastern part so they can extract oil. The attempted coups in Bolivia was for Lithium mining rights. African ethnic rivalries are often over resources, etc.
If everyone had enough, most people would be happy, and if they’re happy they wouldn’t be fighting wars.

What are modern wars fought over? Energy.
and batteries for charging the cars at night
I mean, the solution seems to be right there… Cars are batteries. And many (most?) cars don’t need their 100%, so just let the cars that happens to be charged sell some of it back during the night?
Or just have tons of chargers and offices and whatnot so they can charge during the day when the sun is out.
More investment, for sure. That’s why I was so surprised with the green new deal, I had no suspicions that the US was actually going to start investing in its infrastructure and energy again.

I think they are referring to Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, etc. the past few wars the U.S. has been in have largely been fought over oil.
