Our coal exports are up.

NDP calling for coal export ban as Canadian output booms

Germany found out the hard-way, they could not sustain baseload w/o it.

In my opinion, the technology just isn't practical. The batteries are huge, expensive, and don't store enough energy.The use case for EVs is really inner-city commuting. That's it. We'll never replace ICE engines until the industry admits some hard truths and gets serious.

The infrastructure just isn’t there yet to make these cars practical. The Infrastructure act allocated 5 billion for charging stations across the US. To date there have been 8 built. Never trust .gov to be the driver of speed and innovation from the depths of central casting.

Too bad that money had not been allocated for Hydrogen build-out.

Even gubmint might be challenged, to be less successful with Hydrogen than the #'s reported in your citation. At a guess, there was probably more available for Hydrogen refilling, just in California, the better part of 20 years ago.....

Definately a bigger scale. Wonder if that boondoggle has caused some consumers to be resistent to EV's?

The Green energy movement will bankrupt this once great country. Once we hit 50 trillion, we are a dead carcass. We aint far.

Social media, used for evil & pernicious reasons, will destroy this country‘s soul.

That’s what they said about rock and roll. We’ll be ok.

The human brain is no match for AI. Social media is nefarious. There is a reason Google and Meta engineers dont allow their kids near what they created. The Social Dilemma is a great documentary. Anyone who thinks their brain is going to beat the persuasion of AI, has already lost the battle. They are just too ignorant to know it.

It's not "nature" that 30% of young woman identify as non binary or gay... It's a social contagion. And do you know when those numbers began to rocket? It wasn't before FB, Twitter and TikTok.

If AI is so amazing couldn’t a future person just get an AI bot to identify other AI and not get “duped”.

I don’t know what future tech will bring but a smart person will find way to use it to their advantage.

lol

no

50 trillion in debt, selling military/nuke secrets to china and BLM/antifa riots make “rock & roll” look like child's play.

shields up!

Id think the world was ending too if I never missed an opportunity to say it over and over on a forum.

I’d have my head in the sand if I thought everything was freakin awesome

I didn’t say things were awesome. The fact that someone saying things aren’t going to end now means they think things are awesome? With that logic no wonder you think America is done.

On the course America is on now? Yep, we are done.
If you don’t know what 34 trillion in debt, record interest rates, record inflation rates, record illegal immigration, and a military worried more about high heels and transgenerdism does to a country, then yes, you have your head in the sand.

Just keep voting for those policies fixastuff and you’ll soon see what a country with no middle class beholden to china looks like.

You said it again does that make it true? Keep repeating and repeating till not only you but the people around you believe.

Predicting the end without an estimated date is a cowards game. Get some stones and let us know when you think it’s going down.

Predicting an end is only logical as all empires in history have failed. Nobody knew the date. Not Nostradamus, not Confucius, not Aristotle. Nobody has.

Big stones don’t keep fools from ruining our once great nation.

But you keep on believing your heros are on the right path and there’s no need for serious concern.

I’ll keep being very concerned.

 

[Fixastuff]

My heros. lol. I will laugh about that one for a few then enjoy my day. Thank you kind sir.

Yes…. When every single sole you know is against it , yet it mysteriously still gets enacted.
That’s a clown world

 

[plowhog]

That’s a clown world

For me the clown world started with Prop 187 in California. The voters, in an election, chose to deny government benefits to illegal immigrants.

Those in support of such benefits had seen their impending defeat, so they went shopping to find a "friendly" judge. The day after the proposition was enacted, the friendly judge deemed the will of the voters to be unconstitutional. That threw it into the court system. Except it never got fought. The CA governor, who wanted such benefits, would not allow the CA state attorneys to work on the case. Pulled any funding for that. So the voter-enacted new law would never survive, first deemed unconstitutional, then killed by CA governor with feel-good policies who wanted the benefits to flow.

Someone wrote above that similar things have happened with electric vehicle subsidies. I have seen this as well-- the will of the people ignored by officials who feel that pushing electric or green is simply what the taxpayers must fund, regardless of need or popularity.

After my experience with Prop 187, I laugh when I hear it is your "patriotic duty" to vote. I would never go gambling in a casino where I knew the house was cheating. Nobody would tell me it was my "patriotic duty" to visit an establishment like that.

Today, feeling "convicted" means someone else is at fault for making you reflect on your own failures. Responsibility and conviction run counter to elevating yourself to a god in your own life.
