For years, I’ve imagined how great it would be to own an electric car. Instead of spending almost 40 bucks every week or so on gas, I could just drop by my local outpost and charge my car while I buy organic vegetables. Wouldn’t that be great? Not only for myself but also for the environment? Maybe not. Although electric cars are a step in the right direction, their production and charging still contribute to CO2 levels, in some cases even more than gas cars. Next time you see an electric car or a charging station, keep in mind the emissions involved in producing the battery and the electricity used to keep it running.
The US can be the world leader in 5G deployment with a free-market approach, as it has in so many other industries throughout history. American innovation can only be fully realized when the government lets entrepreneurs take the lead in realizing technology’s potential. Let’s hope that Washington doesn’t make the same mistake it made nearly a century ago by re-nationalizing spectrum to act as a wholesaler for 5G commercial use.
