Where's that oil from the keystone XL come from? What Canadian company isn't building it?

There is room for both, and some of each is a good thing. They are going to have to come to grips with that, because their current pipe dream of eliminating fossil fuels ain't going to happen.

right, EV drivers/hybrids been short changing the system all this time, last fuel tax increase in NH was 6 cent/gal & the state troopers retirement fund latched right onto that. roughly half the revenue. info straight from our police chief.

I'm pretty sure if farmers grew fairy dust and raised unicorns the USDA would get a law passed that we have to make bio diesel out of the fairy dust and put unicorn pee in U.S. gasoline.

You understand that when you charge up at a station, you pay tax right? Its just silly because a mileage tax isnt even equivalent to the fuel tax each state may pass. You also really overestimate how many EVs there are....its less then 4M out of like 228M licensed drivers.

The metropolis of rogers city has had 2 charging stations for over a year now wouldn't have noticed them but they have green lights so i'm thinking Christmas No the future is here Well couple years ago our major and only intersection in town was changed to a 4 way stop cause the city couldn't afford the electricity for the old red/ green light

Never needed less electricity or less reliable electricity. Don't need an electric car yet.

I believe it ends up in Texas, then refined in the number 1 refining country in the world, then shipped to customers world wide to the highest bidder.

I was on a job the other day in DeSoto KS. A western suburb of Kansas City. They have started the dirt work for an electric car battery plant.
