Ukraine? Really?You guys have suddenly become quite the war hawks.
Saudis, Ukraine..... Whos next?
We are at least a few decades and hundreds of billions of dollars from that being anywhere near viable. We should work to those goals but also not try to fabricate some illusion that we can live without serious amounts of fossil fuels and to discourage producing and using them until that time comes is idiotic.No you get solar, wind, and nuclear and go totally energy independent. Eff the Saudis and Opec.
Fusion technology seems pretty promising.There isn't but there should be. By far the safest energy production we have. 3 Mile Island and Chernobyl along with The China Syndrome movie created a false perception that nuclear energy is unsafe.
It all could have been fluff, but Billl Gates put a lot of energy into rethinking and modernizing nuclear and was set to build a test plant in China before COVID stopped its progression. Gates is a firm believer that nuclear is the worlds only choice to combat climate change right now. I tend to agree.There's nothing happening on the Nuclear front.
Hopefully fusion technology changes that in a decade or so...
Fusion technology seems pretty promising.
It's one that needs to be addressed through campaigns to educate people but there's no appetite on either side to tackle that. You would think the environmentalists would lead this effort but they spent so much time railing against nuclear that it's hard for them to make that change. And the conservatives want to protect oil and coal at all costs to pad their pockets.Fusion technology seems pretty promising.
If we want to limit greenhouse emissions Nuclear has to be part of the answer but like you said...pretty big perception problem to overcome.
DEAR LORD.... quit making so damn much sense. In the late 1800's motor vehicles were invented.... everyone was pretty jacked about it. You know what they didn't do..... go out and shoot all the horses. They let the natural progression happen until it worked its way into society.I've been told we were energy independent under Trump (which is not what being a net exporter means at all). But those folks ain't wrong about the suckitude of our dependence on OPEC. We should nationalize our O&G industries from the ground all the way to the pipe and pump and institute rationing and price controls so working people can afford to fill up to get to work and American industries have reliable local source of energy while we transition away from fossil fuels.
All the EV's in the world won't do us any good until we have the power grid and other infrastructure to support it. That will take years if not decades. Classic cart ahead of the horse trying to lead change. Way to go, Brandon. Effed up another big one.First Bush should have had Kuwait promise the United States to pay for their rescue with oil.
F’em
I would pump and frack every drop of US oil and have incentives for big oil to pump the shit out of it.
I would also give massive tax credits for EV purchases to get us off oil ASAP.
I would sell another bullet to any Arabs. They can buy the cheap Russian shit.
The grid can support it. It’s just going to lead to higher electricity charges at night.All the EV's in the world won't do us any good until we have the power grid and other infrastructure to support it. That will take years if not decades. Classic cart ahead of the horse trying to lead change. Way to go, Brandon. Effed up another big one.
Because you won't, please allow me to answer for you. We (the anti-American left) can't allow drilling on U.S. territory for any reason, what-so-ever. It doesn't matter how much it hurts low income citizens or exacerbates inflation. It doesn't matter that American oil tends to be less dirty and we have the most advanced extraction technology in the world, we don't care. It doesn't matter it would provide high paying union jobs for American workers, doesn't matter. And lastly, we wouldn't be at the mercy of bad world actors like the Russians, Iranians, Venezuelans, it doesn't matter, we hate America and despise the U.S. oil industry.Explain.

Lol look at abbs pretending to give a shit about union jobs to further pretend we don't allow drilling for oil hereBecause you won't, please allow me to answer for you.

I’m not a petroleum engineer but it has a better ratio of the products we use, like gasoline. The oil we produce, especially in North Dakota, contains a disproportionate amount of heavier crude which is used more in Southeast Asia, which is why we export that stuff.Hey lefties, please explain to me why Saudi oil is better for the U.S. and the world than American oil?
There’s a petroleum engineer on TikTok who is a great follow. The basic idea is that doubling United States oil production doesn’t help because we can’t refine any more.First Bush should have had Kuwait promise the United States to pay for their rescue with oil.

If we don’t allow drilling on American soil why is domestic oil production skyrocketing? Why are more wells coming online every day?Because you won't, please allow me to answer for you.

And refineries are more of a local issue. No one wants the health risks associated with refineries.There’s a petroleum engineer on TikTok who is a great follow. The basic idea is that doubling United States oil production doesn’t help because we can’t refine any more.
That's what you got out of my response?Lol look at abbs pretending to give a shit about union jobs to further pretend we don't allow drilling for oil here
We have one. Unfortunately, 2/3 of the country are entitled nannies that can't handle even the slightest inconvenience so the growing pains of transitioning away from oil is too much for them.We need a long term strategy to getting off oil. Its the root cause of many problems.

I lump those that picked their college, major, and lifestyle and don’t want to pay for their choices right along with those that picked the giant SUV and truck.We have one.

It’s funny when someone posts facts?If we don’t allow drilling on American soil why is domestic oil production skyrocketing? Why are more wells coming online every day?
It's weird when people quote their own posts.It’s funny when someone posts facts?
Agreed but in this particular case I was replying to a reaction. Does that get me a pass?It's weird when people quote their own posts.
Becoming a third world country is making sense? Really?DEAR LORD.... quit making so damn much sense. In the late 1800's motor vehicles were invented.... everyone was pretty jacked about it. You know what they didn't do..... go out and shoot all the horses. They let the natural progression happen until it worked its way into society.
Ignorance on display.
I'm trying buy you keep posting.Yeah, you should stop that...
He blamed Joe on Afghanistan and I said Joe got forced into a crappy retreat. Your point is valid as there is plenty of blame to go around. I actually supported the war in Afghanistan because that's where the terrorists were at the time. I didn't support the prolonged occupation or nation building we always try to get into.A twenty year f*ck up ended on Biden’s watch is all you had to say. W didn’t end that stupid war, Obama didn’t end that stupid war. Trump didn’t end that stupid war.
There should be. Nuclear is a good source of energy and is pretty clean overall. It's a stop gap that is better than crude oil.There's nothing happening on the Nuclear front.
Hopefully fusion technology changes that in a decade or so...
Who's telling you the power grid can't handle it. Me charging my car is like running my AC.All the EV's in the world won't do us any good until we have the power grid and other infrastructure to support it. That will take years if not decades.

I don’t wanna lose a single American life over Ukraine. Sorry.Ukraine? Really?
I don’t wanna lose a single American life over Ukraine. Sorry.

It's business.Seriously, what the hell are the LIV guys doing with these pieces of shit?
So I can stop at Home Depot or Lowe's today and diy this weekend? Cool!No you get solar, wind, and nuclear and go totally energy independent. Eff the Saudis and Opec.
Ahh he already started about 2 years ago.We need a long term strategy to getting off oil. Its the root cause of many problems.
Already have.I don’t wanna lose a single American life over Ukraine. Sorry.
Was begging your enemy to produce more part of it?There is one but it's being fought by the same people complaining about oil prices.
