i doubt it'll kill off the the fossil industry because there will too many old cars a still running that need it. But there could be tipping point when there will be a stock of fuel that will need to be sold off really cheap.
define "a lot of maintenance". i've yet to see anyone on a roof doing anything to a solar panel, even if a person gets up onto a roof once a year, its not a lot.
"They're very expensive to produce" - its a fairly new industry so its to be expected and they are getting cheaper all the time, do some research on the trials and tribulations of when fossil fuel generation started and compare.
"don't recycle well" Recycling can recover up to 90% of the photovoltaic glass and also up to 95% of the semiconductor material necessary for further production
"Politics & ideology has muddied the waters so much that there's really no telling what is true or false anymore regarding such hot-button issues." - that could just be a comprehension issue for a small number of petrolheads
and businesses, federal buildings etc etc. the more the power generation is distributed the better. Once the installation of storage devices in homes and businesses (and EVs) reach a certain point, they could become part of the grid storage so the utilities could turn from generating power to just buying and selling excess power from homes etc
as it takes 5-8 years to build a nuclear power station, i don't see how it would be quicker to get power into the grid than solar or wind. Battery or power storage tech would have advanced in leaps and bounds in those 5-8 years. Here in the UK, nuclear is subsidised to give a lower cost to the consumer but as it subsidised we are paying for it anyway.
Hitler also put effort into making good on his campaign promises and succeeded. Hitler started out at the beginning pretty much as Trump has, create division and get the gullible to hate others who are not like themselves, the real awful shit came later.
supply companies in the UK are now investing in batteries for handling peak loads as its instant and can be recharged during cheap times, they can then even out the fossil fuel burning throughout the day/night without having to suddenly bring more online to deal with a peak.
you don't need much cabling/space for a solar setup in your roof to connect to a battery. Solar and wind farms can still be used for grazing animals. i prefer to see distributed solar i.e. panels on homes and businesses supplying themselves and any surplus returned to the grid.
London, and i'm sure other cities do, have free parking meters that are charging points, so its upto your local government to implement on road parking and charging meters. Infrastructure is always lagging in these screnarios
The Rockies would be perfect for wind power. Have a turbine and solar panels (yes, they can be safely secured) every 100 miles or so and an attached battery and charger. Safer than a polluting truck delivering a volatile liquid.
are you driving a golf cart? for Nissan Leaf and Renault Zoe 23 miles is about 25% of its range. i think you need to do a little research on EVs and battery range and not just pull stuff out of your ass

and they didn't land men on the moon either....
then you'll have to stop supporting fossil fuels too because they'll run out eventually.
www.dictionary.com - look up "battery"
thats you fault if you keep buying the shit and creating a market for it, you want it and they'll make it
Have you considered that indigenous populations prices themselves out of the market when stuff becomes mainstream?
unless your insurance and car tax goes up to counter it

you believe that crap about corrupting emails? why didn't it happen to all of us?
really? you stopped using because of not having a different background image per desktop? a very very trivial reason.....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... giving monies to companies that do not repay it is the same as a subsidy, no matter how its spun

"My own car costs nothing to keep using." free fuel/oil/tyres servicing - sign me up. where do we get this type of car?

that means your sedan doesn't cover 99.9% of use cases (that you expect EVs to cover) either if you need to borrow larger vehicles or fly
