We can’t generate power anywhere it needs to be pretty close to where it’s being used.

Residential and Commercial & Industrial (C&I) Solar + Storage (SS) disproves this.

For transportation, I agree it’s tough. Germany trialed a highway designed with overhead catenary power lines like electrified trains use but for trucks. Can’t remember if it was successful or not. Shouldn’t be hard to build out catenaries across national highways. The circuits can be aluminum to save on costs, and you incentivize adding generation along highways, further giving reason to build EV charging stations.

Electrification can’t fix everything, sure, but I think we should be ramping it up more than we already have.
