Back in 1997 I was doing some before-and-after architectural photography in Nashville when I stumbled upon a time-travel wormhole! A car was racing down Broadway past Union Station and transmogrified into a horse and buggy right before my eyes…
The 35mm camera I was using suddenly turned into a 4x5 view camera, which is quite heavy around the neck! I was able to claw my way back to the present to get the film developed and scanned. More decades went by before I was able to present the results to you here.

Very nice, so much has changed is such a short time; then so much stays the same.

Similar thing happened 100 years ago in New York. In late 1800's there were 150,000 horses in New York, by 1908 50,000 horses were replaced by 100,000 cars.
And now another similar transformation is happening with electric cars. In Norway, 60% of cars on the road are already electric.

In addition to that - todays news in the Netherlands says that because of strong wind 40% of all households got their electricity from wind; a new record.
The electricity-net in Europe has good connections between nations to deal with supply and demand. Today we export.

Imagine all that horse poop.
