    Back in my DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) days we had a customer who ran DR datacenters in buildings 1 and 2 of the World Trade Center. In one day that company's personnel and data ceased to exist.

    My last project had DR running between the bay area, Colorado Springs and Boise. In terms of disasters we talked earthquakes, nukes and volcanoes.

    Here is an article. It says that there are a million electric vehicle purchased a year world wide. Norway has reached 47% of new vehicle sales being electric, but they have special circumstances.

    Country Size Comparison

    United States is about 30 times bigger than Norway.
    Norway is approximately 323,802 sq km, while United States is approximately 9,833,517 sq km. Meanwhile, the population of Norway is ~5 million people (319 million more people live in United States). We have positioned the outline of Norway near your home location of Littleton, CO, US.
    I love arguments comparing other regions of the world to applicability in the US.

    "But in Japan...."
    "But in Europe..."

    It's estimated that 81.5 Million new cars will be sold worldwide this year. 1 Million EVs would put them at 1.2% of new vehicles sold.

    The article was actually comparing Norway to California only. Not sure how much of a difference that makes, but it is a difference.

    Then hopefully they'll never make it out of California.

    Very surprising.
    I know Volvo wants to do most electric to all electric at set goal year x. I was expecting Sweden would do that first.

    Volvo Cars is a subsidiary of Chinese automotive company Geely. 

    Based on your thinking, wouldn't it be China that would do this first?
