Electricity prices are skyrocketing. What good is an electric car that you cannot afford to charge. Know what else uses fossil fuels? Fertilizer manufacturing.
They don’t just want you immobile. They want you impoverished and consuming 1/20th of the energy that you’re currently consuming. Picture if you will, a dirt poor mexican riding a burro to his field trying to extract enough food to not starve.
Add, it is impossible to replace our level of energy consumption with renewables. The BTU content of fossil fuels is magnitudes greater than renewables. Except nuclear but for some completely unknown reason they don’t want you using nuclear either /sarcasm.
Pretty much everything depends on oil. You can't build solar panels with more solar panels. You need oil byproducts to create photovoltaics, you need oil to dope silicon in order to make computer potato chips. Plastics, roads, concrete, steel, carbon fiber, medicine, just about everything you use was made with oil, down to the keyboard you're using and computer monitor. Most drilling and mining equipment runs on diesel, so if it weren't for oil you wouldn't be able to mine lithium to make the batteries, which use oil for the case, and oil to manufacture the circuitry.
Exactly. And while they might try to say they mean reducing dependence on oil rather than outright eliminating the need for it, most people just hear "oil bad".
I predict a well timed oil spill this year, with plenty of pics of dead animals.
Nuclear is the best alternative to coal. The only major knock against nuclear is storing waste.
And yeah like I said it's all fine and dandy to claim something like an electric truck gets 300 mi range but in real world use that will plummet with towing and carrying payloads.
Get ready to listen to EV fags talk incessantly about "muh range anxiety".
