I have done a fairly amateurish calculation on how much extra
electricity generation would be required if all cars were electric.
Australian petrol consumption is 54 Million Litres per day.
Diesel consumption is 57 Million litres per day.
One litre of petrol = 9.1Kwatt/hr
Just for cars we would need about an extra 5 power stations the size
of Eraring.
My calculation can be guaranteed to be not accurate. However it does
give us a rough idea of where we are heading.
I just cannot see it happening as another 5 or perhaps 12 more
power stations needed if we include diesel. The Greens would have a stroke !
I would appreciate it if someone would check my calculations.
This may force the introduction of nuclear power.
I suspect this is another case of bureaucrats and politician not just
picking up a calculator and doing a rough check on what they propose

Kudos Ateday. Yes the problem is too many humans- China and India have more people than the next 18 nations combined. What is the UN doing about it- nothing- the UN is irrelevant to the sources of conflict in the world.
