How about going green and getting out of oil?

First off lets for the sake of discussion say that going without oil is a desirable goal.  You don't cut off the supply of oil until you have the alternative in place.  40% of electricity in the USA comes from Coal, 40% from Natural Gas. 10% from Nuclear, and only 10% from renewables.  The vast majority of cars, trucks, and all airplanes still run on refined petroleum products.

Again, selective bias.  Your opinion.  Not fact.  You say the person is talented is certainly not a validation that they are, nor is your opinion that Trumps appointments lacked talent anything more than your biased opinion. 

 

No. You seem to have a problem with the concept of evidence. To wax biblical "By their fruits ye shall know them."

Nope. Just the majority. I ignore those on the fringes.

LOL  Go ahead show me the "majority"  In your opinion.  The majority is whatever you agree with, and like others you dismiss any expert as "false" if you do not agree with them.  Am I biased, sure.  However as pointed out.  Trumps picks were often flawed and so are Biden's

It is not "my opinion"  As stated the oil has and continues to be sent to the USA.  So the only thing that has been accomplished is for them to make the oil more expensive.  You can argue whether the pipeline or rail transport causes more environmental damage.  As for alternative sources, fine.  But guess what.  They aren't there yet.  So cutting off oil before you have any alternatives is just plain foolish. 

They are there ! Another denier of facts

You don't have to be an expert in an area to be a good manager. Just hire qualified people under you and help them do a great job. Pete is a super smart man. He's no comparison to nut job DeVos. What a horrible person. Same with Navarro, Pompeo, etc, etc, etc.

What facts.  That oil is still coming to the USA?  As said, the only thing accomplished is the oil will come by tanker truck and rail.  Please spare me when the tanker overturns and you blame the oil companies for the spill.

You again are showing your huge bias.  Pete was the mayor of South Bend Indiana.  A town of 102,000 people it has a 13.3% unemployment rate  It reportedly has a looming budget crisis.  And yet you say he is a super smart man.  Again, name 5 things that Buttigieg accomplished that DEMOSTRATE his proficiency.

I know for 100% fact that most of the people on here celebrating the pipeline block are only doing it because it has the Biden name on it. If Biden supported it, so would all the haters in this thread. Its just as simple and stupid as that. 

How can you "know for 100%" what "most of the people" are thinking? More delusions?

 

Statements like these would seem to say, "I don't have a clue but do have lots of baseless opinions."

Someone probably said the same thing about the 13th and 19th Amendments. Bloody progress, who needs it.

 

And bring back coal, right. That was a trump "promise".

 

Oh, and bring back those buggy-whip manufacturing jobs.
