We can’t get away from oil and gas for energy quick enough!

Seems like it doesn’t matter how much oil and gas we produce in the U.S., we as consumers still end up paying world market prices. I’m tired of high gas prices. Bring on Nuclear energy and electric or fusion vehicles, and we won’t have to worry with the Middle East.

fusion vehicles,
It's fission, and I am pretty sure you don't want nuclear reactors crashing into each other daily

You know how much a nuclear Charger, or nuclear Altima would be??
Posted on 5/13/26 at 4:44 pm to Cycledude
The answer is likely hybrid vehicles

You’re right about fusion vs fision. My bad. I knew I’d get downvoted to hell by the way.

I am sick of all the fighting over oil. The middle East can suck it.

If you really want your mind blown check out what refining capacity we have in the US and when it was last increased.

It's like the flying car thing.
No way your average person can afford one or even pilot one.

Actually, the last few years have shown that we can go too quickly. Alternatives aren’t 100% ready to replace oil and gas.

I agree with this!
More options make for the best free market economies!!

We need to uncouple our oil from the world market

Adjusted for inflation for gasoline’s high EIGHTEEN years ago, gas today is still a bargain.
Sounds like you need a nap if you’re that tired.

Best option by far in the current time and it ain’t even close. Humans are stupid tho commuting hours a day in 3/4 ton trucks and land barges so they can impress their neighbors who they prob won’t even know in 5 years.

Oil will still be here 100 years from now. We are no where near a better and more economical replacement.
