    I don't think it's a matter of #optimistic vs. #pessimistic. It's that the #engineering, #infrastructure, #economics, #population, population #density, and #remoteness of #France are utterly #unlike what they are here in the #prairies.

    2 years? Not possible here. If we wanted to replace 80% of ICE vehicles with BEVs, we need major electrical #generation and #transmission upgrades. I'm #guesstimating it it started today, it would take 20 years.

    #OTD Frank Meyer, Dutch-American #Plant Explorer, is born.

    Frank once confessed in a #Letter to #Friend,

    "I am #Pessimistic by #Nature & have not found a #Road which leads to [#Happiness].
    I withdraw from humanity & try to find [happiness] with plants."

    Frank was a #Loner & suffered from #Anxiety. He felt more at ease with #Plants than #People. Like many #Gardeners, he even named his plants & #Talked them.
