Trump does not realize how stupid it is to promote crude oil that benefits the Saudis
Trump does not realize how stupid it is to promote crude oil that benefits the Saudis when we have free fuel from the sun that can destroy the Saudis.
Again: Trump or no Trump we are practically on the verge of becoming net exporters of that stuff. What "Saudis" are we talking about here?
But we don't have resources to offer maternity leaves, or decent retirements, or healthcare for the poor, or infrastructures.
Instead, Democrats now represent nothing but 24/7 race-baiting and tranny bathrooms. Nothing good.
We don't efficiency. i.e. we want to spend more resources than we need to to drill oil out of the ground, polluting more in the process.
President Trump’s proposed this week to weaken fuel-efficiency standards for cars and light trucks
This begs a few questions:
Does he like to pay a lot for oil to Arab countries?
Does he like trade deficits?
And why does he like pollution so much?
Someday we will drive cars made of carbon fiber reinforced resin, like the $1 million + Bugatti Veryon.Remember one word: "Plastics"
If Americans were allowed to grow Hemp, it would allow opportunities for so many new jobs
Why does EVERY thread fall into the abyss of pot references?
I'm sure that workforce would be the most productive of all time.
You asked a question about oil and plastics. Hemp is your answer
He is suffering because he is an idiot who thinks there is such a thing as "clean beautiful coal"

How does free sun work in place of oil for making plastics, tires, asphalt, propane, and tons of household products?

The allocation function is stuck at stupid.
Not everything mandated by the government automatically means efficiency. For example, my Toyota truck has an emission subsystem with sole purpose of injecting outside air into exhaust pipe right before the cat converters for 30 seconds once a day. It is supposed to help cats reach their operating temperature couple of minutes earlier when the truck is started first time after sitting overnight. It literally works once per fucking day for 30 fucking seconds. The cost of the fucking thing? $3.5K. How the fuck is this "efficient"?
Mandating a fuel economy standard that’s currently impossible is the problem. It’s a great thing to make efficient cars. I own one,- Camry hybrid, and I like it. When I’m driving like a granny, I get 35mpg in the city which is great. But sometimes I wanna go fast. I step on it hard and get maybe 15mpg.
Strategist saysHe is suffering because he is an idiot who thinks there is such a thing as "clean beautiful coal"
In his 2010 State of the Union address, President Barack Obama told Americans that our energy future depends on safe, clean affordable energy and called for continued investments in clean coal technologies. Also, in 2008, then-Senator Obama championed clean coal technologies. As President, however, Obama gave coal the silent treatment while his EPA waged a war against our most affordable and abundant energy resource. As the 2012 campaign heats up, the president suddenly remembers the 1.5 million Americans employed in coal and coal-related industries.
My daughter just got a Camry Hybrid SE--47mpg. The LE model gives 50mpg. It's a beautiful car.

No such issues with an electric car.

Ok great maybe highway. Also the difference between LE and SE is just options which are weight. Should we also debate the difference in mpg with gas tank full vs on a quarter? Gas is weight too, at 7 pounds per gallon. Quarter tank is 4 gallons which saves 9 gallons or 63 pounds (which btw is probably the weight difference between my large ass and your daughter).
So my question is this: what did they strip out to get the better fuel economy? Hope it wasn’t safety equipment or steel framing, cuz our daughters are precious.
That’s the problem with mandated fuel economy. You can only do so much before you have to sacrifice safety or room or options. Not everyone wants to drive a sub compact!
BTW, since we are on topic of EC superiority and/or readiness to replace gas-powered jalopies, which electric car would you recommend as a replacement for Toyota Sequoia? Keep in mind I use it to carry 5-7 passengers, a big dog and/or two 18ft kayaks on the roof. I also tow a travel trailer to places like Lake Tahoe, Death Valley or Yellowstone. And, of course, I drive it off-road and in Tahoe snow. I do not commute in the thing - have other cars for that duty.
How is the heater and A/C in the electric cars?
The sun can create hydrocarbons from the air itself.
That's where they came from in the first place.
Yes, plants originally took carbon dioxide from the air to make themselves, and eventually oil and coal. But since CO2 is only a trace element today, not enough CO2 in the air to extract the carbon from to make all that plastic and lube.

I think he's suffering a lingering case of "Obama Derangement Syndrome".
