Yet another reason to go electric in vehicles

Yet another reason to go electric, an article on Wednesdays Omaha world herald December 29th 2021. Mexico to stop exporting oil in 2023. The US imported 599,000 barrels of oil a day from Mexico. They realize their oil fields won't last forever and they're keeping what they have for their own national self-sufficiency in fuel production. Fortunately US Auto companies are making the switch already that will help save us from $10 and $20 a gallon oil. Prices will be going through the roof, no more cheap oil. It's day is over. We may yet save the planet, despite ourselves.

I hope sooner. One of my AH neighbors drives a Dodge Cummins. Noisy SOB.

China is investing very heavily in EV's and will be the world's leader by far in the coming year, of the highest quality cars as well as the most cost effective.

American needs to heed the warning now and still be #2.

The future will not be reached by living like we did in the prehistoric past.

If we continue on fossil fuels we will regress. The future is about moving on and not being stuck using 18th and 19th century energy sources.

Circumstances necessitate change. We can embrace that change or go down fighting. I'm ready to embrace the change, I don't want to lose any more of this beautiful world than we have to.

And what will be the power source all those EV's are going to use to charge up their batteries?

So instead of burning gas in our cars we can burn more coal in our power plants to produce electricity and burn out the power grid from overuse.

Except the major pollution caused by making batteries for those EV's. At least not in your backyard right?

Can you imagine what it will be like in Californication, when all, those EV's are charging and a rolling brown out happens, thus cutting off the charge many desperately need?

I guess you never checked out how Indonesia disposes of most of it's trash into the ocean.
You're such a loyal global citizen.

Exactly. Sun and wind?
Natural gas? NG is considered a fossil fuel.
Can you say massive blackouts?

I appreciate you switching to electric so my gasoline will be cheaper...

The future is about moving on and not being stuck using 18th and 19th century energy sources.

Then that would include using batteries, which is already 220 year old technology. Even worse if the batteries need charged from power plants using coal. If you really want to "move on," then move onto hydrogen fuel cells.

Since oil is going to be too expensive for much of anything. It will have to be alternate energy sources. I understand it represents it a challenge, but what is this life is not full of challenges. When one door closes another one opens and vice versa. Here's a little reprise for you. Also on the news the nuclear talks at resumed with Iran. One of the assurances Iran wants is that they are once again able to sell their oil on the open market. This represents a huge opportunity to the United States. If they bought all that oil if they locked into it, it would help stop prices from rising so high and still make oil a little competitive but in the long run oil has to be done I think there's only like 40 more years of it left on the planet and that's exploiting all resources.

It's not going to be cheaper, it's running out. There's only about 40 more years at best left in the total world supply.

The possibilities are endless, why not use both. Demand and industry will decide what is the best course.

They already have brown outs in a lot of places, wait until everyone plugs their car in, lol.

And where do you think the electricity for cars and trucks will come from? And please don't say renewables, that ain't happening.
