Replies to: New EPA rules to kill gas cars. Joe gots ta go.
The entire world is moving away from Fossil Fuels for Heat and Power...you're pushing on a rope...
...act like an adult and plan accordingly.
What world do you live in?
Consumption of fossil fuels hasn't even peaked.
Read the attached article explaining why Big Oil is planning for a decline...can't get any more real
than that...
Now, given that literally all physicists acknowledge the reality of global warming...differing only on the rate of increase and potential harm...it makes sense to act NOW to minimize the impact of Climate Change on human habitation.
The sooner you accept reality, the better you'll be able to deal with it.

In order to move away, you have to actually move away.
As most of us learned in grade school, actions speak louder than words. And we're on the drill baby drill train.
La La Land.

This is not remotely true
Yet another hyperbolic pronouncement from Baghdad Bob....
It is correct to say that the developed world has incrementally increased the use of energy not derived from fossil fuels. Far, far different from your statement.
Regardless, it makes no difference what the developed world does. Read that again. It does not matter. Fossil fuels will continue to be the overwhelming, predominant form of energy on this planet for decades to come. This is why....
Fortune:...‘Peak Oil’ will arrive by 2030, IEA predicts for the first time...
...from the attached article...
------------------
“The transition to clean energy is happening worldwide and it’s unstoppable,” IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said in a statement. “Claims that oil and gas represent safe or secure choices for the world’s energy and climate future look weaker than ever.”
------------------
Given the reality of global warming and the fact that it takes hundreds of years for CO2 to be removed from the atmosphere (but not all of it), it is more than prudent to take action now to minimize the impact of Climate Change on human habitation....and closer to home, there's the fact that the U.S. is definitely not energy independent, since we have only ~6 yrs of Proven Oil Reserves w/o imports...and 60% of our consumption goes to our military each year.
Be objective...stop denying reality.

Alarmists are never discouraged by a history of failed, draconian predictions
They just double down and keep screaming the end is near. They deserve zero consideration.
Here are Deloitte's recommendations for the Oil & Gas Industry...
...an excerpt from their paper...
-----------------
Global oil demand is projected to slow down in the long term, rising annually by only 0.4 mbpd until 2027, compared to 1.6 mbpd until 2023. Meanwhile global biofuels demand is projected to rise by 44% between 2022 and 2027 as it increasingly substitutes for petroleum-based products.43 In addition, the share of EVs in global car sales is expected to range between 62% and 86% by 2030.44 In response, many global automakers are reorienting to electrify large portions of their product portfolios.

Change is coming...changes are needed...

Straight from the Baghdad Bob playbook
Refuse to address the post and throw out some tangential issue.
Your act is old and tiresome.
What is wrong with you?...I didn't write the report...the IEA did, and they're by no means a leftist
'propaganda' outfit...you should know this.
Why you shovel sand against the tide is beyond me...
Oh please. Spare me the histrionics. Electric is an insufficient alternative for vehicles.
Even if you converted all power to nuclear, the grid isn't there to support electric and the power needs to run fully electric are well beyond the capacity of even nuclear.
This is 100% China and intended to undermine the auto and oil industries.
If you were on a beach and a Tsunami warning was issued...would you wait until you saw it to run?
...it takes a very long time to make this enormous transition away from Fossil Fuels to Nuclear Power and Renewables (where appropriate)...including the transmission infrastructure...fortunately, the House recently passed a bill by a vote of 365 to 36 in favor of streamlining NRC licensing for next generation Nuclear Plants, which won't be coming on line until 2030...we can't afford to sit on our hands waiting for everything to be in place, as the growing "Tsunami" of ever increasing atmospheric CO2 content builds.
The warning has been issued...time for everyone to accept it and act accordingly.
Sounds like it would be a bloodbath for the automotive industry.

Trump is hardly ever wrong, that's why the libs don't like him,
This no. Breed doesn't like america
I suppose he’s written off carrying. Michigan
I doubt that stuffing drop boxes with mailed ballots in the D is enough to overcome losing the Arab and auto worker votes,
I don't know. Trump triggers a large number of people. Between cheatin and irrationality ...
