If your Going To Kill Oil Have Electric Cars Ready In The Millions

These dumbass fricks are so god damn fricking stupid I want to drop kick all of them, then kick them some more. You want to kill oil and tout green clean energy!? Then have millions of electric cars in the Ford/dodge/Chevrolet parking lots ready for consumers to buy to get on the road! If not then keep the flow of oil going!!!!!!

Don't electric vehicles have a much larger carbon footprint than their fossil fuel counterparts?

A $600 check is apparently a pretty big deal to most Americans. Hard for me to believe they’re in any position to all buy a brand new electric car.

What do you think is used to charge those cars.

Wait until the Democrats figure out that power plants burn coal and other fossil fuels to generate the electricity that all those electric cars will need

Good luck during a hurricane evacuation.

There is a lot of dumb in the op post... and I work in OG.

The president of Toyota says there isn't enough electrity generated if only electric cars are allowed. That means more power plants are needed. Democrats hate power plants. Something has to give.

Institute for Energy Research - Environmental Impact of Lithium Batteries
quote:
Now Biden is planning to transition the transportation sector to electric vehicles that are powered by lithium batteries and require other critical metals where China dominates the market. Mining and processing of lithium, however, turns out to be far more environmentally harmful than what turned out to be the unfounded issues with fracking.
quote:
In May 2016, dead fish were found in the waters of the Liqi River, where a toxic chemical leaked from the Ganzizhou Rongda Lithium mine. Cow and yak carcasses were also found floating downstream, dead from drinking contaminated water. It was the third incident in seven years due to a sharp increase in mining activity, including operations run by China’s BYD, one of the world’ biggest supplier of lithium-ion batteries. After the second incident in 2013, officials closed the mine, but fish started dying again when it reopened in April 2016.
quote:
The lithium extraction process uses a lot of water—approximately 500,000 gallons per metric ton of lithium. To extract lithium, miners drill a hole in salt flats and pump salty, mineral-rich brine to the surface. After several months the water evaporates, leaving a mixture of manganese, potassium, borax and lithium salts which is then filtered and placed into another evaporation pool. After between 12 and 18 months of this process, the mixture is filtered sufficiently that lithium carbonate can be extracted.
quote:
As in Tibet, there is the potential for toxic chemicals to leak from the evaporation pools into the water supply including hydrochloric acid, which is used in the processing of lithium, and waste products that are filtered out of the brine. In Australia and North America, lithium is mined from rock using chemicals to extract it into a useful form. In Nevada, researchers found impacts on fish as far as 150 miles downstream from a lithium processing operation.
quote:
Lithium extraction harms the soil and causes air contamination. In Argentina’s Salar de Hombre Muerto, residents believe that lithium operations contaminated streams used by humans and livestock and for crop irrigation. In Chile, the landscape is marred by mountains of discarded salt and canals filled with contaminated water with an unnatural blue hue. According to Guillermo Gonzalez, a lithium battery expert from the University of Chile, “This isn’t a green solution – it’s not a solution at all.”
quote:
China is among the five top countries with the most lithium resources and it has been buying stakes in mining operations in Australia and South America where most of the world’s lithium reserves are found. China’s Tianqi Lithium owns 51 percent of the world’s largest lithium reserve in Australia, giving it a controlling interest. In 2018, the company became the second-largest shareholder in Sociedad Química y Minera—the largest lithium producer in Chile. Another Chinese company, Ganfeng Lithium, has a long-term agreement to underwrite all lithium raw materials produced by Australia’s Mount Marion mine—the world’s second-biggest, high-grade lithium reserve.
quote:
It is estimated that between 2021 and 2030, about 12.85 million tons of EV lithium ion batteries will go offline worldwide, and over 10 million tons of lithium, cobalt, nickel and manganese will be mined for new batteries. China is being pushed to increase battery recycling since repurposed batteries could be used as backup power systems for China’s 5G stations or reused in shared e-bikes, which would save 63 million tons of carbon emissions from new battery manufacturing.
quote:
Environmentalists expressed unfounded concerns about fracking, but they need to be worried about replacing fossil fuels in the transportation and electric generating sector with electric vehicles and renewable energy where lithium, cobalt and other critical metals are needed to produce these technologies. Mining, processing, and disposing of these metals can contaminate the drinking water, land and environment if done improperly as seen from several examples. And, since China dominates the global market, it just switches what once was U.S. reliance on the Middle East to U.S. reliance on the People’s Republic.

The point of getting rid of fossil fuels has nothing to do with electricity, and nothing to do with environmentalism.
It’s about destroying 2 large economic pillars in this country at the same time: Big Oil and the auto industry.
Have to cripple and discredit the current system so people will want the replacement. Which will be so much worse.

They don’t want to kill oil, they want to kill oil produced in the US and kill US jobs so they can cut deals overseas. They or totally OK with oil and gas companies in Ukraine remember Hunter was on the board.
Our government spends every waking moment trying tonfigure out how to separate us from our money so they can move it around the world and eventually enrich themselves.
It’s simple really. We are all pussies and we are afraid to take our government back!

What is the range on an electric vehicle and what is the recharge time once expended to be able to drive again?
I make runs one weekend a month of roughly 350 miles in each direction with a minimum of stopping. And if I were to run out of power, at BEST I would be in a high crime urban area but more likely I would be in the woods between small towns.
An electric car is a non-starter for these purposes.

I’m content. Will take a very long time for glorified golf carts to take over combustion, fuel infrastructure. Either way, energy is required and oil/nat gas will be required.

Electric cars are going to have problems.
Range anxiety
Grid capacity
Road Tax issues
But the biggest
Consumer acceptance
Toyota is betting big on Hydrogen. I have a lot of faith in Toyota's insights.
They are building Hydrogen fueling stations in Cali. Leasing Hydrogen cars. driving their cost down.
Hydrogen is now made as a by product of O&G processing. But they are working on getting it from water (H2O)
I would rather good old gasoline me!!

We do not have the electrical capacity for the amount of electric cars this knuckle frick administration wants.
BTW.. do you know how you make electricity.... natural gas, nuclear and formerly coal.
So let’s kill fracking which makes natural gas low so we can have our electricity bills skyrocket.
These people are too stupid to breathe the same air as the rest of us.

It's not about killing oil, it's about stopping drilling in the US. Democrats want to stop drilling because they get rich buying oil from Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Iraq. Republicans like Bush and Cheney want to keep drilling in the US because they get rich from their buddies in the US energy sector.

If Elon Musk says there’s not enough electrical power to replace fossil fuel engines, I believe him.

Speaking of electric cars.
Been thinking about getting a used Nissan Leaf or a Mitsubishi i-miev. Not because I'm against fossil fuels, but because I'd like to go a while without having to deal with gas stations. My travel range is within a 15 mile radius.
