Check this out. Its a video of a black male trying to steal a relatively new large Subaru SUV while its white liberal male owner is on the hood.
If renewables can improve to the point that they could replace em it's fair game
but there's basic manners that people just don't understand. Something as simple as not running down the aisle once you're at the gate to get off the plane from row 26. Put this way my bag has shifted in flight many times from the overhead bin on those people. Whoops... lol.
It makes me fucking crazy that ENGINEERS don't realize this

Energy policy is dictated by politicians, not engineers.
nstinctively, we know we've built our lives around Abundant Cheap Energy. Mainly from fossil fuels.
It's the reason people like richwicks get all angry, attacking the messenger for saying so
There's no fucking little gold star for being first on a flight, in fact, you're punished for it as I squeeze by you to get to the window seat after you sat down 5 minutes ago. Why are you so eager to get into the tube first, and so eager to deboard from it first? Fuck the other passengers, let them scramble, and jostle each other about, I just wait.
This isn't even a back of the napkin calculation. It makes me fucking crazy that ENGINEERS don't realize this, and people in finance, they don't care, they only follow the money. Government gives subsidies,
We don't have to go to war with the Middle East to attain cheap energy.
You simply don't understand that energy is abundant,
Oh yes I do understand it's abundant, as I wrote so many times we have abundantly cheap energy. And at multiples of what we're paying now, it'll still be abundant and cheap.
Chill out, man. Try to see around the hate blinders.
I'm explaining the real problems of your silly belief that $1 a mile is affordable to most people.
You have no idea what it's like for the working poor.
Why Biden Favors Foreign Over American Oil
This afternoon President Joe Biden announced the sale of 15 million additional barrels of oil from America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) and his intention to release more oil this winter. “I have been doing everything in my power to reduce gas prices since Putin's invasion of Ukraine caused these price hikes.”
But what he said is simply not true. Biden has leased less public land and off-shore waters than any president since World War II. He killed the re-opening of a major oil refinery in the U.S. Virgin Islands. And by releasing more oil from the SPR than any president in American history, Biden has repressed private sector investment in oil and gas production. ...
But President Biden's policies are the leading cause of the lack of supply and resulting high prices of oil and gasoline. The U.S. produces more oil in a single day than what it imported from Russia in February. ...
Biden clearly has ulterior motivates. After all, he has never made a similar plea to America’s technology companies, Meta (Facebook), Apple, and Google. Last year, their earnings were $39 billion, $30 billion, and $76 billion, respectively, compared to $23 billion, $21 billion, and $16 billion for Exxon, Shell, and Chevron, respectively. ...
It’s obvious that Democrats are pursuing a long-term strategy to shut down the U.S. oil and gas industry. ...
As such, Biden’s strategy poses real risks for Democrats, which Biden and his aides recognize, and which likely led them to hold today’s news conference. Democrats, in the spring of 2020, killed a proposal by President Donald Trump to replenish the SPR with oil from American producers, not OPEC+ ones, and for $24 a barrel, not the $80 a barrel that the Biden White House promised to OPEC+. When asked about it today, Jean-Pierre waved it away as something from “a different time.”
But Senate Democrats defeated the proposal and later bragged that their party had blocked a “bailout for big oil.” Today, Democrats are still condemning big oil. But they are also asking for nearly three times, $70 a barrel, than what Biden aides reportedly provided the Saudis and OPEC+. As such, the moment is coming soon where when Biden says,. “I have been doing everything in my power to reduce gas prices,” voters and others will have the knowledge and anger to say, “No, you’re not.”
Biden clearly has ulterior motivates.

Biden Created a Secret Deal with Saudi Arabia to Lower Gasoline Prices Ahead of Midterm Election, Leading to Anger Over White House Feeling Double-Crossed
October 26, 2022
The extreme vitriol against the recent OPEC+ decision to cut oil output, specifically the extreme Biden anger toward Saudi Arabia, now takes on additional context as the New York Times writes about a secretly negotiated deal between the Kingdom and White House officials that was never executed.
As the Times reveals, over the summer the White House thought their team had negotiated a deal with Saudi Arabia for increased oil production that would have lowered oil and gasoline costs in the U.S, strategically timed before the midterm election.
With that agreement in mind, Joe Biden went to Saudi Arabia a few months ago. However, as the western alliance began putting more pressure on Russia and increased the activity within Ukraine, the Saudi’s aligned with OPEC+ to support Russia via lowered oil outputs. The White House felt double-crossed, hence the fury.

Saudis are not our friends. Never were, never will be. Times like this lay it bare.

Same with Israel.
ANCHORAGE, AK - The deliberate and premeditated invasion of Ukraine by brutal dictator Vladimir Putin has forced the US to reassess the importance of energy independence. With this new resolve, the Biden Administration has taken its first step toward increasing oil production for Americans by selling Alaska back to Russia so we can start drilling for oil there again.
"Folks, nobody wants to ruin America's beautiful Alaskan wilderness with oil trucks and drilling rigs, come on!" said President Biden in response to questions he thought were coming from a house plant in the West Wing. "But I've never had a problem getting oil from Russia, so there you go, go get him."
Jen Psaki praised Biden's brilliance in finding a solution that would prevent an energy crisis while also preventing new drilling on American land. She pointed out succinctly to journalists, "You see, it's not American land anymore; it's Russian land."
Politicians on both sides of the political aisle criticized Biden for selling Alaska without giving them enough time to sneak friends and family onto the boards of newly-relevant Russian oil companies. They also voiced concern that the negotiator handling both the Alaska sale as well as managing drilling permits was Hunter Biden and not their own children.

I don't get this. You take away a resource that 100% of people NEED and use daily. Can't keep blaming this Russia/Ukraine shit. At some point you have to pony up and use the resources we have available to us. How is not drilling the best interest of your citizens? Even the crazy lefties that voted this in.
We're no where near getting off oil. I'm for greener energy. I've done the simple "green" things to reduce energy usage in my house. LED lights in every fixture. Extra seals around doors. Turn down therm...
I have to take issue with the idea that lawn mowers emit as much CO2 as passenger vehicles. It’s directly related to how much fuel is combusted. If you run your mower once a week and use a half gallon of gas to do so, that’s no where near what a probably average commuting person consumes in one day. Consequently no where near the CO2 emissions either, not that that even really matters.

The liberals making up the rues don't care about this.

CO2 isn’t the evil boogeyman that they make it out to be.
