Reply to "WabTec Sells 10 FLXdrive Battery Locomotives to Union Pacific"

With the push to make all vehicles battery powered, it makes me wonder how many new power plants will need to be built. If you think about how many millions of vehicles are moving in America right now, and the foot pounds of energy their each creating, in the future when their all battery powered I would imagine the same foot pounds of energy would have to be created in power plants. Then it has to be delivered to all those batteries which will store it for use. So how many of those foot pounds of energy will get lost in the grid on their way to the batteries. For some reason, I'm having a hard time believing the whole battery thing is going to be better and cleaner. Heaven forbid a cyber attack that shuts down the energy grid. Everything will come to a stop. There's gotta be a way to create cleaner emissions.
