1. "I can't stand the way Biden is handling the issue of higher gasoline prices."

11. I alerted on the O.P. but nothing happened.

A little bit of Russian to English troll bot gibberish.

2. Maybe

He should have a temper tantrum like TFG does?

3. I'm not sure how well all those Biden actions against KSA comport with his overriding message

which has consistently been ... we need to get off of fossil fuels.

2M bbl/day of crude LESS on the market is good for the environment. Higher oil prices can, in theory at least, hasten the switch to electric vehicles.

So, do you see the dichotomy created by him doing as you are insisting?



Agree about M$NBC and Walker and such, however.

5. True only if electric power is NOT generated by using

fossil fuels. California already is short of electric power to recharge EV batteries.

7. When I said 'in theory' what you said was one of my considerations.

As was the fact that when gas prices rise, so do the prices on electrics/hybrids. Because both production costs rise, and demand rises. So that can be a countervailing force towards EV adoption rates when oil costs rise.

Point is though ... Biden adopting a public position of 'the world needs to crank out the oil!', which is the course being suggested in a nutshell, it definitely opens him up to criticism (and some of it would fair) and cries of hypocrisy.

This is a problem all politicians are going to have when they champion actions against climate change.

As an aside, California doesn't burn oil for power. They use natural gas, but not oil.

8. That means CA is short on gneration capacity using nat gas

because during hot weather days, EV owners were advised to not charge batteries during peak demand.

9. Thank you, Captain Obvious!

Again, such concerns are a part of why I said 'In Theory' in the first friggin place. The infrastructure needs improvement to support widespread EV adoption. I stipulate to this fact.

That reality doesn't change the fact that Biden is in a tough political position in terms of his options for attacking OPEC+ for cutting oil production, given his message has consistently been we need to get OFF of oil for the sake of the environment.

That was my point and I don't think it's all that arcane.

12. Your point is quite cogent

My only point is we may be moving towards green energy faster than necessary. When brown outs take place it unnecessarily maligns green energy.

10. They're working on fuel prices. They just aren't showing

their cards yet.

Herschel Walker has to be the poorist candidate on the planet. Even he realizes how dumb he is.
And he is openly being touted as just a puppet.

It's so bad it's just pitiful. Doing this to someone as mentally habdicapped as Herschel is is just wrong.
