You honestly believe tweaking consumer behavior is somehow going to meet the delta on the supply side? You are coming off as a bit of a dick to Acey here.
Imagine if everyone had an EV today and we had this problem. You are putting your cards on society doing the right thing and curbing their demand to address the problem? I think during COVID we proved that people are pretty ####e at doing the right thing.

Consumers and industry.
And government regulations.
EVs is the perfect example. They're basically all hypercars. Lower their power, that will result in smaller battery packs that take less energy to charge.
Put a cap on their weight. Do we really need or want EV Hummers and Cybertrucks when a hybrid Maverick will do basically the same things but better? The Hummer weighs SEVEN times more than a Maverick. It takes a lot of energy to move that.
Acey is being a total weirdo and I'm surprised at you, too.
Never in a million years did I think the idea of reducing consumption would be controversial lol.
