Dont worry you guys the climate nazis got a fix for your problem. They are gonna convert that diesel generator to electric power to generate even more electricity for the electric cars. It's a win win, make more electricity from the first electricity...wait a minute.

I get the impression that the majority of people don't comprehend the difference between an energy source and a method of storing/transmitting energy, and there are a couple of good example right here on Agriville who like to share their infinite wisdom with us.
Repeatedly hear or read about batteries, electric vehicles, and hydrogen fuel cells as a replacement for fossil fuels. Completely disregarding the fact that the vast majority of the electricity generation in the world comes from fossil fuels.
Which is about as logical as saying we will make farmers and the crops they grow obsolete, all we need are augers, super-b's and a lot of granaries.

Hydroelectricity in Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canada is the world's second largest producer of hydroelectricity after China. In 2014, Canada consumed the equivalent of 85.7 megatonnes worth of oil of hydroelectricity, 9.8% of worldwide hydroelectric consumption. Furthermore, hydroelectricity accounted for 25.7% of Canada's total energy consumption (37.3% of non-oil sources). It is the third-most consumed energy in Canada behind oil and natural gas (30.9% and 28.1% of total consumption, respectively).[1]
Some provinces and territories, such as British Columbia, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec and Yukon produce over 90% of their electricity from Hydro. All of the dams with large reservoirs were completed before 1990, since then most development has been run-of-the-river, both large and small. Natural Resources Canada calculates the current installed small hydro capacity is 3,400 MW, with an estimated potential of 15,000 MW.[2] A report on the future of hydroelectricity, suggests the remaining 78% potential will remain undeveloped up to 2050, citing a lack of public acceptance.[3] The widespread usage of hydroelectricity, including being incorporated into electric utility names such as Toronto Hydro or BC Hydro, has led to "hydro" being used in some parts of Canada to refer to electricity in general, regardless of source.[4][5]
Canada has about 75 GW of installed hydroelectric capacity, producing 392 TWh of electricity in 2013.[6]

If you put solar panels on every suitable roof across Canada and The US you could charge a lot of EV batteries during the day while people are at work.

A solar panel on every roof in the US? Here are the numbers
Estimate shows rooftop solar could produce almost 40 percent of our electricity.

There are picture of what happens to solar panels in a hail storm...
At the best of times I don't like being on my roof....just saying...

Solar panels and roofs on houses are both vulnerable to severe hail storms. But people still put roofs on buildings don't they? That is what insurance is for.
