We have 100 plus years of Natural gas easily available in the US. But we would rather stake our immediate future on EVs and rare earth minerals from China
Makes sense, they prefer potato chips and McRibs to real food too. And Ivermectin to real medicine.
Unfortunately, that is about all they can afford now. Use to be able to go to Dickies now you have to go to Mickey D's.
Nah, some do. But the enlightened realize it's probably not good for them, and don't aspire to have decisions made for them by those that insist the loudest that ackshually greasy chips are good for you, just like Ivermectin.
Wait. We’re going to have to sacrifice to go totally green in 20 years? No one ever told me that.
So you had a really bad case of worms then. Interesting.
United States is 4% of the world. This going green thing is happening because the world says so. It’s not about our govt but the world. China built more EVs in one year than the US has since the beginning of time. Norway will not allow a combustible engine to be sold in its country after next year.
China is also building new refineries. They can do that because they don’t have to make it profitable or pay back a loan to a bank. They will be prepared if this EV thing does not work out. We have Free market and no bank is investing in a new refinery. The world is telling you they don’t want your product, you ain’t getting long term financing.
Japan is focusing on hybrids.
Energy is all around us, solar, wind, ocean waves, even getting carbon dioxide from the air and converting it to fuel is being done.
I have no doubt that fossil fuels will be replaced but this transition is going to get tough.
I looked into getting an EV but I don’t think it will work for me. I have to drive too far at the drop of a hat. I would consider a hybrid if it saved me money.

Just one thing needed to solve all our economical problems......Get back to total energy independence. Trump handed a golden economy to Biden and Biden dumped it. I was paying $1.80 per gallon for gas in Dec. 2020 under Trump. The rest is history. The U.S. has between 100-200 years worth of oil in the ground that we currently know about. And there's a lot more that hasn't been explored/discovered. Natural gas is even better. We could solve Europe's energy crisis this winter if we'd just turn it loose.......but Biden won't do it. His Green Energy minions control him. Maybe next Tuesday, the American people can remind him who's in control. I sure hope we do.
Yes sir. That continued into the mid 80s on our farm. Obviously price being the driver.
Flat tire? Just hook up the hose from your propane tank and fill it up. Convenient as ****, dangerous as hell. Lucky we didn’t have a disas
I don’t know how old desoto is, he may remember those days.
But….yes…..natural gas vehicles are very doable, dependable, and abundant as far as supply. I don’t know enough about the “safety” of natural gas vs petro. Of course the cursory look says it’s dangerous as hell. More volatile. Sorry. I didn’t major in chemistry.
Yes, on average oil production is higher under the Biden administration, but context is needed
Oil production has reached on average 11.2 million barrels per day during the Biden administration, according to 14 months of data.

And that record production had been forecast to happen so it’s not something surprising (at least not to me). Our problem is refining capacity and also the US doesn’t really produce the best oil for diesel and gas production.Yes, on average oil production is higher under the Biden administration, but context is needed

If I am not mistaken, the last major major refinery was built in the US in 1976. A small one came online in the Dakota’s a year or two ago.Government regulations make it virtually impossible to build a new one. Also Biden’s CAFE - Corporate Average Fuel Economy regulations will require new Biofuel Blending regulations that is estimated to use up to 40% of our corn crop to produce ethanol/Biofuels.
Exxon doesn’t need a bank loan to build a refinery…but they heard the message loud and clear from the government no more fossil fuels so why would they or any other company put money into a refinery? EV has a place but so does fossil fuel.
And Boom Boom while you go get your “real food”at Whole Foods or the farmers market remember it was grown with a tractor using diesel, greased with petroleum products and brought to you by a truck powered by diesel and driven by a guy who eats chips and loves a McRib

If he calls groceries from Whole Foods real food then he’s as nutty with pseudoscience as the ivermectin crowd.
A big issue is the strikes at the ports and ocean liners sitting in the ocean that can’t dock. Not sure if the strikes are still going, but over the summer it was brutal for containers.
Ocean freight (container) prices have been coming down dramatically. But yes you had a combination of covid/labor/strike issues that have for the most part been resolved.
