In Dallas many years ago they pushed to have plastic bags in stores to replace paper sacks claiming the sacks were clogging the landfills. Guess what? Termites love paper and cannot digest plastic. Termites give off methane which can be recovered to run the landfill operation or sold to the grid.

Environmentalism is mostly hysteria and not well thought out. Sort of like Wuhan Charlie.

Speaking of Wuhan Charlie, one of my suppliers has put the masks must be worn and 6-foot rule signs back on the doors of their buildings. A local Jr College has Masks Recommended on the signs at each entrances to their college.
I temember bei g a kid when they switched ftom paper bsgs to plastic. I tecall reading about Dupont lobbyists pushing plastic to save the trees. It was everywhere. Now we have a floating plastic wadteland in the Pacific the size of France. BTW, it has gained over 5 thousand tons of disgarded masks since the corona scam was launched. Also, they find micro beads in just about every sea creature and most if not all humans. Fuckers are brilliant at destroying the almighty's creation.

I know most of you know this, but we haven't talked about it much ITT.

We are at our Fourth Turning.

the next 10 years will determine the future of our country, if we have one, for the next 80.

We are definitely at war, a revolution. At this point it is cold. At some point, it may not be.

When will they go after John Ratcliffe? He was DNI and knows all the same stuff Trump knows.
Prolly never. It's important to the Deep State what Trump knows but no average lib Joe even knows who Ratcliffe is. This is all theater to "get Trump" and to stop him from running. All 75 % of most libs care about. The deep state likely think they are still untouchable on the intel (probably right) and don't give a rat's ass about Ratcliffe.

Do you have sources for these assertions?
At least with Tesla their batteries will outlast the car. Also mile range is comparable to a ice car.
Electric grid will be fine unless in over crowded states or states like Texas that screwed itself by the weird rules and not plugging into National grid.
I do agree the electric cars right now are for opulent urbanites and will add suburbanites and some wealthy rural folks. This crowd will be able to also afford solar panels.
As far as materials shortages for batteries, this will cause material sciences to evolve.
The ev tax subsidies are about useless as giving small businesses 30k tax credits for trucks over a certain weight.
Btw seems like this is another case of polarizing political views rather than looking at evs logically.
There’s advantages and disadvantages for everything and with evs I want to stop the reliance and stop the revenue of the wealthy Middle East oil countries.
EVs are political device and you apparently agree with the ideas they posit. All of them are wrong.

Batteries - where does the material come from? How much material can support growth? How do they get the material? What happens when a battery fails?

As to the grid? I’m not sure what states you think can support EVs. But, the planned growth rates have been evaluated and the US absolutely cannot support massive growth of the EV market. You probably still “google” so do some research.

Lastly, you’re against the ME having money? Soooo, you want China even stronger and with more control over the US? Kinda like Russia has over Europe?

No thank you.

Has China invaded Taiwan yet? What about rocket man? I heard Iran is gonna trun the ME into a mirror? I wonder when? If nuclear war was ever on the table we would be dust by now? That begs the question: What do you think is really going on? Smoke and mirrors is my guess as the show continues.. An educated guess but still a guess. SKOL!

Its not a matter of if we run out of oil, but when. It may be a couple hundred years, but why not start the transition now? What harm is there in letting people buy a battery powered car now if they want to? Is there a downside?

Nuclear energy can be used to sustain energy needs indefinitely. You can't say the same for oil.
Oh bullshit. Peak oil is a failed theory. They continue to find more and more oil reserves.


^^^2018.

Oil is created by the earth and will never run out.

I have zero issue with using hydrogen or nuclear power. Hell, geothermal should be used as well… EVs are wasteful and more destructive than any other energy source.

It was also Dupont that pushed to get rid of R-12 and R-22 freon for R-134. I still have 6 cans of the R-12. Almost as valuable as gold. The guy who farmed my Mom's land gave me 3 cases when he changed over to R-134 on his tractors. I sold 2 cases.

Let me guess. R-12 was bad for the environment and while the new R-134 freon is not as good it doesn't kill the delta smelt. Am I close?

Artificial lift became worth billions because it allowed companies to get oil they couldn’t previously.
We have come along way since this.

Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
And then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground come a bubblin crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Oil is created by earth but we will run out if we use it faster than it is created. The timeline is the only thing that can be argued in my opinion. 100 years, 200 years, 500 years im not sure, but we will run out at some point because we use it faster than it regenerates. I don't think having multiple sources of energy for cars is a bad thing. Gas powered cars still reign supreme, and will for the short to intermediate future, but electric cars are not a bad thing. There is a payoff, give and take if you will, in every decision.

BTW It's really me - we need a game changer - time to go on the offensive! Turn the tables - sick of being on defense!

Thus, I'm dropping the "Upper Case On Each Word" OCD thing!

Let's fucking go!
I was kinda hoping for a Krav Maga Road Show. I can drive you to all these lefty rallies and video you Krav Maga'n their ass. We can get the My pillow guy to sponsor, 'cause they will all be takin' naps. haha SKOL!
