Pumped storage hydropower (Pumped storage hydroelectricity generation is negative because most pumped storage electricity generation facilities use more electricity than they produce on an annual basis. Most pumped storage systems use electricity from an electric power grid for pumping water to the storage component of the system.) -6 -0.1%

and this is without a significant number of EVs on the roads. How about actually doing something useful, like building nuclear power plants and shutting down coal and oil and gas ones before attacking individual freedoms, which is obviously what this move to subsidize EVs at the expense of freedoms is?
