Electrification Coalition Says 1.9 Million New Jobs Will be Created From Adoption of EVs

What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.
Sorry Nick, but I do not buy the conclusion of the Electrification Coalition.
It could be true if all electric vehicles are built in addition to continued manufacture of the same number of fossil fueled vehicles. I think that even you will agree that that is extremely unlikely. What is much more likely is that jobs will be transferred between vehicle types. The jobs related to those components which are used in fossil fueled vehicles but not in electric vehicles will simply cease to exist. The result will be a net loss of jobs.
The reference of the 20 year improvement in the Federal Budget deficit of $336 Billion is less than 0.1% per year for the period. It really does NOT count. The household income will rise by less in 20 years than the costs to each family for “Obamacare” each year. That does not include the projected increases in health care for “unexpected” costs.
The projected reductions in petroleum could be made effective within 5 years if we would cancel the environmental lawsuits that have only added to the cost. If we are going to use these fuels anyway, then we should be using our natural resources and providing real jobs in this country. Proven reserves has been subjected to redefinition to suit the situation. In the 1940′s and ’50′s it required drilling into the reservoir or petroleum. That was the only technology available then. Now we can sonicly verify the whole field with what amounts to using sonar through the earth. The field in Montana and the Dakotas is reputed to be larger than those in the Arabian peninsula. Tapping into our own resources would improve the balance of trade immediately and could greatly exceed the $127 billion you mentioned well before 2030.
I believe that it is accepted that the vehicle usage in this country will drop from the “love affair” it has experienced for almost 100 years. Numbers of vehicles will not increase drastically and the parts needed will be reduced, not increased by electricity. No transmissions, fewer or no differentials as we switch to motors in the wheels for better anti skid control and better traction.
Electric vehicles will not increase the number of productive jobs. They will change the job title, in some cases, but they will do almost nothing to the replacement tire industry.
The Electrification Coalition has painted a very rosy picture, but in many respects it is similar to Obama’s “saved or created” jobs. At least the Electrification Coalition hasn’t tried to use the parasite jobs of the Federal government as part of their “jobs increase”.

Love the idea of electric cars. Know better than to ever believe any advocacy group. Claiming you will create jobs is what every advocacy group says in an attempt to get political support.

Personally Chuck,I am glad someone is sueing these bastards that have no social or moral responsibility to the environment or to America. They do not pay taxes, are business partners with the same bunch that flew into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and probably send their obscene profits to offshore account under some loophole bought and paid for in Washington. How many jobs are predicted by the “Oilification Coalition Advocacy”? How much money does it cost us to fight these wars over oil?
