OF course all this new electricity is needed in addition to the old that is currently produced from fossil fuel with a stained system and brown outs as it exist today. Millions, tens of millions of new cars running on new charges is going to take enormous of amounts of electricity. That's going to mean a lot of wind farms..even off Martha's vinyard! By the way we still need to drill for our own oil everywhere we know it exists even to get the natural gas.
