Nuclear is the answer that meets our intermediate zero emissions goals without sacrificing the consumption required to drive the economies to sustain the change-over, but nobody wants to face that music.

Because near term oil production will have absolutely no impact wahtsoever on climate change.

If only we had local production.

It’s the Discovery, Inc. media company. They’ve sucked the meaning out of nearly every educational show they can get their hands on: Discovery Channel, Science Channel, Animal Planet, TLC (The Learning Channel), Food Network, HGTV, Travel Channel.

Don’t forget Shilling is a lazy motherfucker who went the better part of a year with only high beams because he couldn’t be bothered to change out the bulbs. If that’s indicative of his overall approach to maintenance, I have no doubt his 13 y.o., 80k-mile Fit is much closer to the end of its useful life than any…

Didn’t breed....don’t care about your stupid kids!!!!

5th gear: “both-sidesing”?? Seriously?

Apparently America = Biden.  Nice headline...

Ah yes, let’s electrify autos within 9 years. Also, GM is shelling out $800 million to fix 70k Chevy Bolts’ batteries just because they keep randomly catching fire while not in use. But not to be outdone, Hyundai is shelling out $874 million to fix 82k of their own EV battery issues. An average of over $11,000 a car…

Its acceptable to bump peoples cars when parking? No. And if you have a nice car you deserve it basically? Wtf?

Erik is so clueless as to what needs to be done to get to a significant amount of EVs. Those advocating for EVs are often the same ones that are the first to say no to a new lithium mine in their state. He doesn’t mention that it takes well over 10 years just to get a permit for a new mine. He also doesn’t mention the…

Don’t forget he also said:

Particular emphasis on this delusional, elitist statement: “Also, if you live in New York City and you are fortunate enough to own a car and you don’t want your bumper to get nicked then you are probably also fortunate enough to rent a garage space.” Garage spaces run up to $800/month in the central city. And car…

Apparently if someone has a nice car, Jalopnik lumps them in as some bourgeoisie ass-hat that can afford and deserves anything that comes their way

Every automaker is a hypocritical sack of shit

This is Shilling, after all. He’s not going to stop being an idiot. 

Neutral: Really? Gotta say that’s a pretty shitty take for a car blog. It’s okay to do light damage to other vehicles when you’re parking because it’s crowded? If you own nice things, don’t leave them outside because they’re fair game? I live in an arguably equally crowded city and I’m routinely pissed off at the crowd…

This isn’t the first time he’s brought up that specific event, while ignoring that that the flight controllers did was totally illegal, and also ignoring that public sector unions are now obscenely powerful. 

My mom always told me about Reagan firing the air traffic controllers as a foundational act of destruction against the fabric of American society.

Wikipedia says he served in Vietnam and received a purple heart... so I’m going most likely a “freedom isn’t free” and/or “never forget” type of thing.
