Sea level isn’t rising any faster than it has throughout the current interglacial. Please look back at the predictions of the last 25 years and see how wrong most of the chicken littles were.

You are surprised that when prices go up for a commodity that people need, new technology and techniques are developed to bring that commodity to customers who will buy it and that the competition between suppliers for that business brings down prices?

Politicians said that we could not lower oil prices by drilling more many times in the last 15 or 20 years. We did lower oil prices by drilling. They were wrong. And that was with all sorts of artificial road blocks.

The break even point comes down as technology and infrastructure is developed. I’ve heard numbers more in the $45 range recently. I don’t think the massive problems with price develope until it gets higher than $55 or $60 anyway. It seems to be a good insurance policy against that. In other words, don’t gouge the…

Yes.

That is part of it. Some people also exaggerated the problem to control people.

You don’t know how fast the Earth makes oil. In all likelihood it isn’t as fast as we use it. Hopefully by the time it is actually getting scarce we will have a new form of energy that works as well.

Being absolutely and completely so wrong it is ridiculous about the date by the way.

Are you saying the Earth doesn’t make oil? Yes, there will be a peak oil moment someday. But it’s way farther off than any off the smartest people in the room thought...or said to scare people into doing the things they wanted.

Hmmm. Seems we kinda could drill our way out of the problem. The USA now has some of the largest known oil and gas reserves and “peak oil” is out farther and farther every time we check. OPEC is desperate to put a genie back in a bottle, but can’t. Peak oil is just like the population bomb. At best a short sighted…

Do you still care what the readers think?

An important point here is that EVs are not as pure as the wind driven snow that still falls in winter.

Telling me how a car feels to drive and experience in an entertaining way doesn’t require any ethnicity or other characteristic. Since you talk about ham sandwiches think about this. If you try to pick a basketball team to include a woman, an Asian, a gay, a black, and a midget you will not be as successful as the…

Maybe someday we will just choose the best candidates and actually have the best of something. We are getting closer because everyone is considered now, but people are now chosen because of their diversity. That doesn’t get the best. It just gets something different.

Sorry son, your ID doesn’t say Clinton. Laws DO apply to you.

They don’t play it left handed. They strum the neck. No one knows why?

A little bit. Give me The Ballad of Curtis Lowe any day.

Porsche tried very hard in the 80's and 90's to make a few cars that were new and original from a design perspective. Porsche buyers would have none of it. They eventually gave up and decided that they could build any type of vehicle they wanted as long as the 911's styling cues were dominant.

Perhaps he did hit her, but he didn’t INTEND to hurt anyone so there should be no charges filed.

I looked around for a bit and couldn’t find the autonomous gun you speak of. Does it automatically defend your home or hunt deer for you? Perhaps you could help me narrow the search a bit.
