Graham Conway works for a company whose customers are in the oil and gas industry. Did you fact check his claims?

But the rest of those countries include Finland which has remained non-aligned for almost 80 years. What changed? As for letting Europe solve the problem. That was a bad idea back in the 1930's when world economies were much less interconnected than they are now. Well by your standards, then North Korea is a nullity when it comes to a threat since it's economy is miniscule compared to South Korea's. It isn't just the size of the economy. It's how much of that economy is dedicated to war.

These countries already are in an alliance it's called NATO. Maybe you've heard of it? As for how much to spend?Whatever it takes. Russia poses too great a threat to Europe to be ignored. It also sends a message to China.

I don't think you understand what led to that surge to $69,000 and why this fall is different from the last one. The cause of the surge and fall is one and the same thing: crypto-banking. Assets were over-leveraged into coins. So when the prices crashed, crypto banks couldn't back so called stablecoins and couldn't return cryptocurrency that was on deposit. And since there is virtually no regulation of defi, there's no way to stop these cryptobanks from doing it again. Whereas when you put money into a bank in the US, it's highly regulated. And if it does crash, the government will make depositors whole up unto some predetermined limit.

Are you seriously suggesting that a witness has to have perfect recall to testify about what was said? It is to laugh.

Where's the proof? Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor and someone who vehemently opposed Trump's impeachment trials, and supported John Durham's investigations, thinks there's proof. Now, he still thinks prosecuting Trump could do more harm than good, but that's a political calculation, and not one based on the evidence: Prosecuting Trump could do more harm than good "Before Hutchinson’s testimony, there was a dearth of public evidence that Trump was actively complicit in the violence on Jan. 6, 2021, as opposed to being recklessly indifferent to the potential for it. But according to Hutchinson, Trump was fully aware that the Jan. 6 mob was well armed yet willfully encouraged it to march on the Capitol. This portrayal casts a more damning light on the former president’s profound dereliction of duty and, as I see it, may change the calculus Attorney General Merrick Garland will need to make." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/07/01/hutchinson-testimony-changes-calculus-on-indicting-trump/ And, of course, once the insurrectionists had invaded the Capitol, he did not call in the National Guard or other agencies to put a stop to it. Even though, according to Hutchinson's testimony, he was told these people were armed.

Actually, the one good thing about high inflation is that debts contracted at lower rates are much easier to pay off. Provided, of course, that the loans have fixed rates.

Tell that to Finland,, Norway Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Moldova, Georgia...

I think the polls have given us a very clear answer to that question.

Why should that 40 billion have to be deducted from other departments' budgets?

Tell that to the Kenyans.

Duh, purposely attacking civilian targets is a war crime.

So the next time a woman teacher happens to mention her husband she should definitely get fired?

How about straight orientation?

Here's an incisive take on how the russians have waged war in Ukraine. If you follow the link you'll find an equally incisive take on Putin “We have a saying in America, we say that nations with allies thrive, nations without allies wither and we’re watching Russia wither before our eyes right now," Mattis said. When asked what military lessons could be taken from the war so far, the former US Marine said: “One is don’t have incompetent generals in charge of your operations.” He also called Russia's military performance "pathetic" and decried "the immoral, the tactically incompetent, operationally stupid and strategically foolish effort" of its campaign in Ukraine. https://edition.cnn.com/europe/live-news/russia-ukraine-war-news-07-01-22/h_09d4a6957395ffe9b39942789b9f5bef

Selling directly to consumers depends on state law, not federal. Some states allow it, others don't.

Both me and reality.

You have yet to answer any of the points I raised that refuted the claims made by the car salesman. Not one. Not one. And as for your point about the 8 percent, what makes you think that ICE vehicles are the only target for reduction of CO2 gases? And by the way, where did you come up with that 8% figure Here's a chart from a rather more reputable source than your car guy. It puts road transport at 11.9% https://ourworldindata.org/emissions-by-sector

It's blocked to Russians because they don't know where the mines are.

It tells me that you've got nothing so you indulge in insults and create falsehoods to cover up for that fact. Stop lying.

Wind and solar generated 10% of global electricity in 2021 - a world first https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2022/04/wind-solar-electricity-global-energy/ 71% of electric power supply added in 2021 was wind or solar. Renewables Take Lion’s Share of Global Power Additions in 2021 https://irena.org/newsroom/pressreleases/2022/Apr/Renewables-Take-Lions-Share-of-Global-Power-Additions-in-2021

False. What does this sentence mean to you? "Renewables cover 50% of German electricity consumption in first quarter 2022" If it were what you claimed, that would be called installed capacity. If it were what you claimed, that would be called installed capacity.

This is truly laughable coming as it does from one of the most, shall we say, inventive posters here. And who apparently can't be bothered to provide evidence for his claims.

What has that got to do with yellowtails false claims below in quotes. If anything the shortfall in fossil fuel supply would increase the percentage of renewables used. "Germany installed a lot of capacity, but that's not really what actually gets used. Yes, about 2% of capacity over the last twenty years has shifted to wind and solar, while reliance on fossil fuels has actually increased. "

What does it tell us that the typical guarantee for an ICE vehicle powertrain is 5 years/60,000 miles? Do ICE vehicles loss all or most of their value at that point?
