Yes, battery performance is determined by temperature. Gasoline doesn’t freeze until some ridiculous temperature like -50F. Diesel freezes at a bit warmer temps. Transistors are also prone to failure due to cold temps as well as very warm temps and radiation. Solar panels function off of a kind of transistor where the solar radiation is applying energy to the transistor’s gate or base. Wind turbines don’t function well in bad weather. They’re often destroyed. And gasoline is around 5 quadrillion times more energy dense than solar or wind. That’s not to say solar is a bad energy source per se. After all it’s free. But you can’t power a modern civilization off of it.

Our primary energy power should be coming from fission nukes.  It's clean.  There is enough thorium for 1000 years, not counting seawater uranium and thorium (presently too costly to harvest) that could provide energy for hundreds of thousands of years.  We really don't have a clean energy shortage, we have bad policies run by Greenie idiots.

We also have trillions in gasoline infrastructure that "progressives" want to throw away when instead we could develop synthetic fuels like butanol that can reuse the existing gasoline transportation and storage infrastructure as well as burn in existing gasoline engines.  Butanol can be synthesized from CO2 sources using nuke energy.  Since CO2 is reused in this case it is no longer an accumulating "greenhouse gas."

Unfortunately our energy policy is being dictated by humanity hating Marxists.  They're happy to have hundreds of millions die on the alter of their ideological purity.  Sweethearts all.
