$5 a gallon oil in 2012

[Revere]

The Chevy folks came up with the Volt (which was production ready btw) in 2006. They didn't release it until 2010. Why? Because up until then, nobody was interested in electric cars.

Honda as well as many other foreign car companies are coming up with electric cars, there is an increase in windfarms, and various stockyards as well as garbage dumps, are starting to harvest the methane that comes from those places.

Yep.........if big oil keeps doing what it's doing, they're gonna price themselves out of existence.

We can only hope..........

What is the use for an electric car with a range of 40 miles, and a price tag of $40,000?

That's not new technology...Still relies upon boiling water and twirling armatures to create the electricity....Hell, windmills are leftover technology from the 10th century.

When any of y'all come up with some genuinely true and workable new technology (i.e. electro-gravitics) gimmie a call.

I believe the reason that gas prices are so high is because of global warming. Everything else happens because of global warming. This has to be the reason why too.

A little over a week ago, the EPA released its window sticker and fuel economy ratings for the Nissan LEAF, which showed the car had a MPGe rating of 99, and a expected range of 73 miles.

At the same time, it was also announced that the FTC would also being affixing a sticker that only displayed the estimated range, and that range would be between 96 and 110 miles.

Why would there be two stickers? Why do they confict so much? Well, basically there is a 25 year old Energy Policy and Conservative Act that requires the FTC to do it.

That's just one model. There was a model shown on the Science Channel (and yeah, at the time of the show it was 50,000), but it gets around 200 miles/charge.

New advances in batteries are popping up every day, and pretty soon, there are going to be electric cars that will render gas guzzlers obsolete.

Where is the power in the grid coming from for all these electric cars?

 

[Revere]

Has the Obama administration done anything to demonstrate it believes in generating more power in this country?

What do you think the wind fields and solar fields are for?

Yeah...And some day they'll invent tires that accumulate more tread on them the farther you drive!

You people that bleat like sheep about the price of oil and how it is Obama's fault are beyond worthless pussy idiots. There is only one way to have cheap gas and that is do what the Venezuelans and Bolivians did. Sink any foreign companies ships in the gulf ...empty of course. Nationalize all of our oil supplies then attack all of the countries in the Mid East and take their oil. Not some chicken shit ruse. I mean tell them and the world that that oil is ours for all the money and American lives lost defending those worthless people for the last 50 years. Take all of it. Sell NONE of it. Tell the Arabs to get back to breeding camels and donkeys. The rest of the world can buy their oil from Russia. They don't care about their people like we pretend to.

That should last us for another 50 years and we can fuel up are SUVs and fuck everybody else while we are paying 50 cents a gallon for gas. By then I will be long dead and I won't have to think about what a bunch of worthless whining pussies you all are. This is nothing like the true America the founders knew. Ask the native Americans. They have no illusions about who we really are when we stop bellyaching and do something about it.

Making environmentalist wackos feel good about themselves.

Damn, I hope so. I've got a bet on energy right now.

How about just ramping up exploration (instead of the opposite) like every other country in the world who is or wants to be a superpower is doing?

because elec. cars, wind and solar are just around the corner........why is brazil drilling a huge find off their coast? beats me they have not seen the future, we have.

I don't care if the price of gas goes up or down. But it's insidious when some fucker in government tells me the solution is windmills.

How much oil does the Navy use in a day to power all of those boats cruising from port to port.

Depends on if it's a nuclear powered vessel or not. All US Navy carriers are nuke power now.

And.......they're working on other ships as well.

It is a scarce resource, and as the economy improves, the price will go up.

And there are more and more well off chinese. And Russians. And Indians. And Koreans. And Czechs. and Turks. And Poles.

The US is unique in recent times for voting in stupid. Most of the world is voting them out.

Absolutely, The slaes market is pretty much saturated in the USA we already buy more than we can afford. So how does the economy grow?
Simple we pay more for what we already buy.

Yes the carriers are nuke powered but how much fuel do the aircraft burn?
Oil is also required to mine and process/transport nuculear fuel.
