Thomas J Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Just now, Jeffr2 said: 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 !

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.

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." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
