Editor,
“New Biotech building approved in South City” in the May 18 edition of the Daily Journal says, “the building will be both fully electric and include minimal parking to encourage public transit use ... roughly 842 employees ... with 346 parking spaces.”
Please let us know how that works out.

And, what will they do when the Grid goes down?
I’d expect that employees would be sent home and for those who were unlucky to have taken electricity-driven public transportation, they’ll either have to bum a ride or hire mostly gas-powered vehicles or walk home. Does Uber institute surge-pricing during power outages?
New buildings actually do not use a lot natural gas. But, I am not sure how they would get steam for laboratory end-uses from heat pumps, unless supplemented by electric heat. That is where the rub lies, for many years to come, there will not be enough electricity supplies to accommodate these political pipe dreams. Let's pray that the next generation will not be so easily fooled once they found out that our contemporaries saddled them with a physically impossible dream.
