I am not in favor of arbitrary dates, forced conversion, mandated technology, and increased taxes. Solar is great, but a recent hailstorm decimated a large array in Texas. Nuclear options continue to be shuttered. I think there has only been one new one go online since 2015. Lots of new wind turbines, but later disposal is still an issue. EV battery mining is a scourge on the very Earth we want to save. How about disposal options for batteries that weight 1200+ pounds? I read that the EV mandate by 2030 would manage to cut emissions by .20%. Yes, the decimal is in the correct spot. Will see if I can find it again. I dont want higher taxes for unproven "solutions". How about we start by cutting the $9 trillion in fossil fuel subsidies, and see what the private market can do with an even playing field. Check out what Norway has figured out about EV mandates.

The only person finding rage is you, and it's because I don't hold the same position or outlook as you do. This is what I believe. I am in the center.

I have been on exactly one cruise. 20 years ago. Best coffee I have ever had, and it's not even close. Wish I knew what it was or exactly what they did...

Environmental change is real. Yes. It may or may not be a problem for humanity, we truly do not know. Why doesn't the free market mitigate the problem? Do you have sources for that? And, if human consumption is the driving factor, what is anyone doing about China, India and Russia...whose negative output dwarfs the US and Eu? No, I don't believe that "usage" or "consumption" taxes or fair or realistic. Tell that to the climate warriors that jet set around the globe to tell me that my 2008 F150 is the major contributing factor. gtfoh Nope, not a smoker. My dad is/was and still says he should have a seat in Devaney in perpetuity cause "smoker's taxes" paid for it. As to the rest, we learned as we go...and some things are definitive and some are supposition.

Lol... Yeah, because all those chicken littles totally go by scientific method

This is very good, and common sense. The problem are the "envirobros" chicken littles (as @teachercd says) that scream for higher taxes and forced conformity but really have no idea what will work to mitigate the issue.

So 6k votes, (less than 2%) for an open State legislature seat the middle of Alabama, directly affects this Presidential election thread. In a State legislature that is 75% republican. Okay.

This is interesting, and you may be correct on your supposition. But perhaps this is the wrong thread?

It definitely takes some getting used to

Good, that's the correct response all around. Thanks.

I assume he means until the ship's owner, or Maersk Lines, repay the US Government, right?

(sad trombone...)

I saw a figure of 32k vehicles per day cross the bridge

I NEVER agree with this guy. But, there is a first time for everything

I too do not believe there will be some sort of armed coup after the election...regardless of who wins. What's crazy to me is that in 2020 roughly 155 million people voted, and it came down to roughly 40 thousand votes across 3 States. I am not in favor of banishing the EC, but perhaps some sort of ranked choice, or a viable 3rd party can bring some clarity and a defined resolution.

I saw a couple of these on Top Gear...Holy torque Batman

It definitely sucks when the golden parachute crowd doesn't feel the pinch, while the rank and file slowly get phased out.

Europe is having the same experience. I agree with you that hybrids seem more likely to catch hold...but still don't like the forced mandate to phase out gas burners.
