My wife and I both drive electric cars and we have solar which produces enough electricity to power them and our house... But in reality, we provide that electricity to "the grid" during the day and recharge using fossil fueled power at night.

This is the reality of EVs... up to a point they reduce fossil fuel use especially if they are offset by solar panel electricity production. But the equation is not solar power powers your car (since it is not home during the day, when the power is being produced).

Instead, it reduces the demand for fossil fuel electricity during the day, but increases the demand for fossil fuel power at night. The overall impact is less fossil fuel demand due to the solar power generation and not the EV use. But this trade-off only works up to a point.

I am proponent of green energy, but progressive liberals pushing the policies like the "Green New Deal" are ill informed. There are far to many technical issues to be worked out before our country even thinks about abandoning fossil fuels.

Instead we should continue to slowly increase our use of sustainable energy and then address the problems that arise instead of trying to leap frog into a future where the kinks have yet to be addressed...

I can see where hydrogen fuel cells could become part of the alternative energy solution if technology continues to advance and it becomes economical to convert water to hydrogen. But I think it will be awhile before hydrogen replaces natural gas as the preferred fuel for urban commercial fleets.
