California Regulators Propose Gov’t Takeover Of Oil Refineries To Stave Off Energy Crisis

[Missouri_Mike]

Sure. Because government is so much more competent.

The last thing they will get done is actually producing any oil. Their first action will be firing the people running the refinery because they aren’t diverse. Then the shit hits the fan.

Life imitates art.

Right out of an Ayn Rand novel.

I’m all about seeing this happen. I want to see how this California experiment goes.

Given the track record of California with completing large initiatives (i.e. high speed rail), energy short falls (i.e. aging infrastructure, huge demand / limited supply) and the hate of fossil fuel energy development .. it will definitely be interesting. I have low hope in success. 20 years isn't a long time to convert to 100% renewable energy.

 

[Couchpotato]

yes you did you called Trump a piece of shit., Hell I agree with you so you don't have to hide your words.

Your record is skipping

The only way that happens is if people keep fleeing that shithole.

You have never heard of EVs, ok.

Yeah, maga just focuses on not joining the future.

Sure I have. The environmentally disastrous mode of transportation that only takes you a few hundred miles before you have to pull over for hours to charge, while hoping the grid isn't overloaded.....................and freezes up in cold weather, or shorts out in water.

The ones where replacement batteries run anywhere from $20,000- $45,000? Those EVs?

So you have never heard of an EV.

Problem with waste.

Problem with waste.

As renewables become more prevalent, finding ways to recycle renewable waste becoming more urgent

Solar panels can last for 25 to 30 years, but more than 90% of used panels end up in landfills.

Windmill oil leak. They use about 500 gallons for the gear box.

Would that oil be radioactive for 1000s of years?

Is that the same as all the ICE engine oil discarded?
