You cite one of many lightweight articles which only cites other lightweight articles and choice quotes such as the one you picked.

Lithium is scarce only because governments have made it so.

Poor Llama farmers are not getting all the water they want because someone found a more valuable use. Would you rather have a car or a llama? Drat that pesky capitalism and Adam Smith's "invisible hand".

Eco-Nazis threw mud on the wall to see it if stuck, and found they could stoke fears of CO2. Found they could misguide and spin CO2 interchangeably with "carbon". You know the speaker is ignorant when the two are used interchangeably. And quite frankly carbon and CO2 are essential for life on Earth. The more the better.

Newsguy on radio talkin bout Dallas might get rolling blackouts cause grid der is very windmill dependent and cold and storm got windmills stopped cause of ice. Probably leave electric cars parked wid dead batterys. Terrible.

Might hafta wait fer somebody to build electric heliochopper to squirt ice off blades of fans. Ones dey got now fly on oil.

Wonder how many Greenys gonna get hurt sweepin ice off solar roofs?

I wring my hands over it but ArtRitus make dem hurt when I do.

Is Greeny allowed to build wood fire from dead tree dat fell over? Maybe dey can truck dead trees from Califooledya.

Read every single one of them. Every one referenced other articles, which referenced other articles. Every one was “somebody said” and none touched mathematics. This is nothing but the choir preaching to the choir, marching with the mob. There was no thinking at AmericanThinker.

And gasoline cars parked for lack of electricity to operate the gas station.

This happened here after tornados of April 27, 2011 left me without power for 7 days. Had to drive 30 miles each way to buy gasoline for generators. Took 3 days for some stations to start pumping. AT&T and others brought in thousands of generators to power landlines and cell towers.

I suspect that unless they are being paid for the gas coming out of their tanks they will let it sit there. How would they meter that operation?

Well, de pay fer part can get a little sticky some places, but more and more lately de gas in ground still belong to distributor who sets pump price remotely, and charges station operator who pays fer electric to pump gas.. Station operator generally pissed cause he could be hittin heavy if his station had generator plug like Red Creek stores, so he don't care, fact is he usually locked place up and sittin home.

Real help yerself gas got rollin back in late 70s when price went over buck a gallon and fellow wid ugly daughter and peanuts created long lines at pumps. Lot of people went self serve at closed stations distributors was storing gas in. Down by Big Rottin Apple guys was runnin couple house basement tanks in back of vans fer a while. Dat went bad when dey figure out 500 gallon of gas weighs bout 2 tons.

(removed) being absolutely honest man has agreement wid station owner. I use stainless half beer barrel and can meter what I pull out widin ounce or 2.

Lot of Owner/Operators got what dey call Okie Credit Card. Little 12 volt pump so dey can transfill from company trucks at truckstops. $50 buy lot of Diesel. QualCom and Elog only compute what engine burns, not what get sucked out of fill plug.
