@Stumpy1 it won't die, but it will go the way of coal. People fail to realize that almost all their consumer goods require oil, plastics are everywhere. That being said the portion of a barrel of oil used for plastic is less than 10% I think.

A majority of plastic comes from natural gas but you are correct that almost all of our daily consumer goods come from oil.  A barrel of oil is broken down into 75% refined products such as gasoline and diesel while the other 25% is used for things that we use daily in our lives.   It is pretty amazing the amount of products that get produced from gas and oil.

I suppose the real question is, why do drugs in Russia especially if you are not a citizen.

I must have misunderstood. I thought she had just arrived and was in the airport. Instead, she was trying to leave?

Yes it will be legal to sell gas cars after 2035.

Used cars, yes. New cars? No. 

New York, California, and most of the EU will ban new gas cars from being sold by 2035.

Used cars will be gas for some time. But that still isn't enough to warrant massive investments by the oil and gas industry to expand oil production.

People would recognize the lies and turn it off. It would be bad if it was the only news outlet….which actually might be the case in Russia right now.

Lmao..  you realize Tucker Carlson literally won a Fedeal Court case with the defense of "I lie so dang much that a rational person could not be expected to believe what I say?" Of course you don't because you clearly get your news from there, but its the God's honest truth.

https://www.findlaw.com/legalblogs/greedy-associates/tucker-carlson-successfully-argues-nobody-really-believes-tucker-carlson-is-reporting-facts/

And people still don't turn that sh1t off. In spite of the lies.

they went over there before the war.  Apparently an arrested Griner was able to phone into court Friday.  https://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/wnba/mercury/2022/03/05/brittney-griner-former-wife-glory-johnson-spar-over-child-support/83039942/

It would shock me to plant drugs on a WNBA player unless they just have no idea how amazing unpopular the WNBA is in America.

I am mulling over how effective of a hostage she would be.

That is the perfect example of the principle of free speech. The only thing Musk disallowed was a double negative.
