    why would it be so hard to set up EV infrastrcture.

    fair, but I’d envision it being different. EV charging stations hook up to a power plant somewhere, or could to a big local battery. gas stations can be more flexible seemingly as they just can be a portable tank of gas basically.

    what’s the downside to green energy

    well have you looked up “green energy is a scam”? Here’s one article, curious about your thoughts on it: https://corbettreport.substack.com/p/green-energy-is-a-scam-it-isnt-meant

    The big problem I think is green energy isn’t efficient or as powerful of a resource at present. So it requires monetary or energy losses to make use of green energy? Are there also some unknown maintenance costs? The right seems to argue green energy is a net loss

    people wanting a healthier world vs people who only care about making money

    that sounds a little… limited in vision. the rejoinder is probably people think that the other side that’s for green energy is impractical and unprofitable. In fairness this reminds me that a lot of EVs seem poorly designed at present, in my view almost like they’re designed to make the technology fail in the public’s eye. Like say someone is a rightwing truck driver. Electric trucks are probably prohibitively expensive. So advocating for a trucker to use an unaffordable EV truck would seem harmful and impractical. This leads to dropping support for “green tech” that isn’t ready yet.

    hydro and sand are large-scale solutions so you can’t really buy them yourself

    oh… well again this becomes impractical for consumers.

    For personal use, “traditional” batteries are used

    Do you mean not green then? If true it would again sound like green tech isn’t there to be practical yet
