Of course it might have something to do with the fact that these cars do 0-60 in 2 seconds. Just a hunch.

When you don’t freeze this winter, you can thank Texas.

This article makes a poor case for the “cause” being fracking. More curiously, my first post has “disappeared.”

Who is more greedy - the 8 billion people who want reliable plentiful cheap oil, or the businesses trying to deliver it?

Short window of observation (2020 vs 2021), few if any hard facts. What is the 100 year pattern of quakes (number and intensity)? Both years were “since they started using fracking,” so the notion that those two years as a “comparison” is really, really thin.  The notion that fracking is responsible for this latest…

And here I thought Democrats only dated back to 1828...

What mess? Global Greening, the only model within AGW for which observations have perfectly matched predictions, shows more than 10% increased global vegetation since NASA started tracking with satellites - probably close to 20% increase since 1850. Deaths from cold are down dramatically; deaths from heat relatively…

Nonsense. Just wait a few years while innovation catches up. When it’s cheaper, 8 billion “greedy consumers” will make the right choice for them.

Who knew that freaking out as a lifestyle choice would be so popular among alarmists?

There will certainly be at least a short term increase in commodity prices.  However, historically raising demand results in even greater supply at lower prices than the original point of homeostasis.  Counter intuitive, but empirically common.

Totally disingenuous article. Effectively gaslighting by pushing the notion that regulations to treat all businesses equally (i.e. NOT “punish” users of fossil fuels) is “punishing alternatives.”

That is at least partly true. On your first point, I believe the first Bush truly was exceptionally smart - but the second Bush was a hapless potato head....

There was a great children’s story, “I’m a pencil, and nobody knows how I’m made!” - which illustrated your point.

We can manufacture an infinite amount of clean burning carbon neutral gas and diesel synthetics already, it just costs more than extracting and refining petroleum today. However, once commercial solar drops about another 50%, it will be cost competitive with petroleum AND has the benefit that any country with sea and…

If Lithium becomes a bit more expensive, we can extract it from seawater.  search kaust filter lithium.

Not only drilling, but the entire seabed is covered in a layer of deposits already dried and concentrated - so they will literally be shoveling up the surface and processing it for Lithium.

Who says future batteries will use Lithium? Besides, we can get all the Lithium we could ever want from sea water - it just costs a bit more. Search Kaust filter lithium.

Climate science, if accurate, can tell us what things will look like depending on your assumptions. It cannot tell us which assumptions are correct. For that, we have to look elsewhere.

Outstanding!

Clean, cheap fusion energy is just 30 years away.  Just as it was in 1960.
