Sleepy Joe and all the other idiots ranting about switching everything to electric cars, electric cook stoves and ovens was just a BS ploy!!!! during that time frame they continued and still continue to award grant money to folks from India, Pakistan and other folk from that area of the world to build and maintain GAS STATIONS, they keep building them left and right but you darn sure dont see electric vehicle charging stations. There are more foreign owned truck stops and gas station/convenience stores than there are churches down here and that is dang sure saying something.

I will cook on an open fire before i switch to all electric. The infrastructure doesnt exist to do such a thing. Deer season year round and raise your own garden.

Someone built/completed an EV charging station in the WinnDixie grocery store parking lot about 18 months ago in Lake Park, Ga. It has about 10 or 12 chargers. It is full of EVs everytime I drive by it...but Interstate 75 is only about 2 or 3 blocks away so interstate traffic utilizes it.

even at Buccees I dont see but a few vehicles using those chargers. and they are about 1/1000th the number of gas pumps available.

we arent getting away from oil, coal and natural gas. these all electric folks are freaking delusional. without nuclear power, there is no way that those wind contraptions or solar will ever power anything. Its absolutely insane to think that it would.

Gas and diesel for me.

Ask any classic cah owner how they feel about keeping their GTOs, Mustangs, and the others ....

Whoever wants electric anything , fine . Just remember where electricity comes from.

It has never been about caring for the climate, Dave . Like everything else, they just use surface excuses to make money for themselves . Look at how much they use fossil fuel themselves. It's all about power and money. Every time.

Enjoy your V8 !

Where's all this electricity coming from anyways?

Nuclear power plants!

That's a great idea and clean power. But people can't get past the radio active part....lol.
They've even developed small ones the size of a pad mount transformer. When a car or snow plow takes out one of ours, there's usually oil around and we have to to a big environmental thing and barricade the area until it's tested and cleaned up. Now imagine a small nuclear reactor in peoples front yards!....lol

where are there any nuclear power plants operating???

these folks are slap arse nuts. I guarantee you if we were to just stroll up into all of their many houses and getaways, I bet both testicles that they are mostly fueled by LNG or propane.

Furthermore, who in Sam Heyull flies as many miles as these two faced twirps do, in any given year. I guarantee you, those of us on this forum, if we added our flight mileages down for an entire fiscal year. We wont come close to how much these so called climate activists fly. freaking lying arse hypocrites. and, I would be willing to bet both of Savells testicles that most of their insider trading stock options are in fossil fuels.

Wood is the only truly renewable energy source, and only if new trees are being grown at the same rate as the trees being used for fuel.

As uncle Ted said.....the industrial revolution and it's consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

Exactly right, Dave.

Too many people don't know or forget where electricity comes from. Big Bob mentioned the best, cleanest and cheapest , most powerful source known .

Electricity also comes from other sources. All fossil fuel oriented.

The materials that make electric parts are all made with fossil fuels too. Every one of them.

Tell China and India to stop going full bore on building new fossil fuel plants across their country.

Its like thinking a cake appeared finished out of thin air , forgetting the ingredients and work it took to make it to begin with.

Nuclear is one big key. I hope to see more plants in the near future.

Based on 2023 statistics natural gas 43%
Nuclear 18%
coal 16%
wind 10%
hydro 6%
solar 4%
biomass 1%
oil < 1%
geothermal <1%

Wind, hydro and solar, heyull, that wouldnt power a crock pot for 30 minutes. these folks are nuts. we should be hunting them down and burning them at the stake with a thick glass objective when the sun is out. then we can say they died because of clean sunshine energy

I like the chart Mike shared. I don't know the percentages , but that one seems about right. I smile looking at solar....the panels mostly made in China, with their many many fossil fuel plants to make them all.

Same with wind, all fossil fuels and when they leak oil, stop working due to cold winter, etc., the parts are non-biodegradable. Plus killing birds . If anyone shot them, , would bring long jail times and large expenses in fees. But the ugly wind farms can kill them in the millions.

I do like Hydro , when I lived in HI, that source was popular , but limited.

All powered, built, and made possible by fossil fuel.

Dave, America has a huge wealth of fuel , and with the building of more resources to process them, and kicking in the existing ones, I'm not worried anymore.

Nothing like my V8 and the low rumble of glass packs

They been telling on the news the last couple nights that as soon as AI kicks in full speed there won't be enough electricity to go around. That really only means the price is going up to ration it out.

I think where the mistake was made was not letting the electric cars and solar and wind work its way in gradual like they worked in tractors when switching from mules. If electric wind and solar was efficient then the free market would have been the driving force and would have worked in with no unknowns. The way they shut down the pipe lines and started force feeding the electric cars on people wasn't workable in a free market system. But i guess Greta and the Rainman had car production on the way and needed a market. Now they are all dressed up and no where to go. But I guess the lithium will keep somewhere, maybe Fort Knox, lol !

Just me but I would rather finish out my days next to a solar and/or wind farm than next to Chernobyl or Fukushima !
Paducah enrichment plant had contamination problems for years. But those southwest winds in the winter are very refreshing, lol. Maybe as refreshing as farm chemicals in our food and water.

It kinda makes me wonder about the fact my great, great grandpa carried a mini ball in his hip for years and he lived to be 92 yrs of age and his wife lived to be 90 and they both smoked a pipe. And none of my more recent family has lived past their mid 80's.

Not here. You guys gotta build more dams, cleanest power out there and you keep using the same water over and over with multiple dams. If Alberta's $ is oil, our big $ is hydro power.

if the flow of water is minimal. which is typically is. how in sam heyull do you think anything hydro is going to make energy. fossil fuels and nuclear. its that simple. I dont trust one dam thing that comes outta Canada. yall are so much further screwed in the head than we are at this point that it is unfathomable to remotely believe that anything said from anyone up there could be logically or rationally taken at face value.

Just reference Warriors post about Church last week. nuf said hoseheads

Check out Thorium molten salt reactors. they can be run on the waste of the main reactors. No chance of a run away like Chernoby

Tech has made things harder nothing is easy to figure out now, technology does not equal to simpler it’s just more BS to figure out. The goal is to sell apps not simplify much of anything. A modern vehicle could have dozens of controls on the dashboard and apps in the systems.

My wife bought a new Subaru she had to go to a class of figure out how the tech stuff works on it and she still can’t figure it all out but she likes pushing buttons. LOL

Some folks live for that junk me I’m not wasting my days on this useless garbage.

Ok, I went on a bit of a rant and made you look pretty stupid, so I edited this comment.
God bless you sheepster…..lol
