Do you own one now?

Nope, but if you want to buy me a new car, thats fine by me.

I'm nice but I'm not that nice. I'm just suggesting that you should put your money where your mouth is.

I likely will, but have no need for a new car right now.

That's what they all say.

Like I said, I am open to you buying me one. I like the Kia EV6. Plus it goes nice and fast.

Great for puttering around town and charging at a HOME (as in not an apartment) overnight. But that's about it.

So you say. I don't live in an apartment. This means 99% of my driving can be done by electricity without seeing a gas or charging station again, if I switched. The only thing further is for my competitions.

I think you should get to experience the full spectrum of its limitations.

Nah, I am good. I don't have a dog in this hunt.

In my opinion we are not ready to do away with fossil fuels and it will be a couple of decades if not more before we are.

We have over 100 years of oil infrastructure built up, from the exploration techniques, through the drilling, transportation, refining, distribution, and retail outlets. Plus millions upon millions of vehicles/engines that require gasoline. Any transition away from that will require decades and leave a huge amount of worthless machinery and other debris to clutter up the environment. Liberals don't play chess well because, in their zeal for instant gratification, they fail to see the consequences a few moves in the future.

I don't have a dog in most hunts but that's never stopped me before

What kind of competitions do you do?

Pistol competitions. I am part of a secret crack team, keeping America safe from rampaging paper targets and steel plates.

I thought that might be it. Bullseye or IDPA?

Falling steel, IDPA, USPSA. I prefer falling steel, but about to hibernate for about four weeks - which is normal this time of year. I was a MD last week for a small match and the heat just killed me.

The gov makes more money on a gallon of gas than the oil companies.
Were you trying to make a point?

You Lie!

Government pays to plug all the abandoned wells leaking methane & oil investment & income is written off.

“Executive order directs state to require that, by 2035, all new cars and passenger trucks sold in California be zero-emission vehicles”

That’s an order.

And 50% of the few charging stations in Leftard HQ Bay Area of California are broken.
Per Leftard UC Berkeley.

So if the Leftards of Leftardism won’t maintain them….

Then stop forcing tax payers to subsidize oil.

Okey Dokey!
