That was with a grocery store discount of 20¢, but even so prices are low in this part of Texas. Gasoline prices that low are going to frick up the economics of EV and solar panels.
So, you settled for the ugly wife too?

People normalize today's prices to prop up Biden's shitty economy and downplay his record inflation.

There is an estimated fossil fuel source of 1000 years as of todays calculations. Of course it is a scam of people
This is partially correct.
The real answer us there is an infinite supply, however. Think about it, were there really so many dinosaurs and plankton to make the enormous amount of oil that has already been consumed by man?
Of course not. Hydrocarbon plumes come out of the mantle and enter the earth's crust, where they cool amd sit in rock formations. This cycle is never ending- imagine it resembles bubbles floating to the top of your soft drink

Get it back down to a buck eighty like it was during the era of Trump the Great and then maybe I would start calling it "low."
You mean when the price of oil was so low it went negative? You were actually paid money to go with the oil?
If that is your new benchmark for low I hope you are perpetually disappointed.

EVs are doing this on their own. Thats why OEMs are cutting production. Their actual price to purchase is WAY more detrimental to them than the prices at the pump.

You are talking about millions upon millions of years of accumulation. Dunno why it should be that surprising.
As for plankton, even today they account of half of carbon fixing photosynthesis that occurs on the planet soooooo. Yeah. Typically deposits are formed in the mouths of rivers in hot climates. Vegetative material (and sure, the occasional dino corpse) flow down and sink and mix with the already present algae. If the mud contains like 2% organic material, it’s prob will be a good source of oil formation. Just need it to be surrounded by rock formations that will trap it.

What cycle? What is it being generated from? While abiogenic sources of petroleum have been found, it’s NEVER been found to be able to produce a concentrated reservoir. It’s too spread out. You just end up with rocks that you can test and find analytically there was some petroleum by products in it.

A big-shot oilfield buddy once told me that gas would be dirt cheap if the market really understood how much oil is still in the ground.
He's not a big shot, he's a moron.
The quantity of oil left isn't what reflects the price.

Another retarded post from a retarded prog. Congrats on increasing your post count. Go get another booster and brag about it with your prog. buddies.

This.
Read an interesting article yesterday that talked about the impact their EV goals will have on the power grid. Your typical gas station pumps today requires basically no electricity to run, relatively speaking, and has no more impact on the grid than the convenience store where the pumps are.
Replace pumps with enough charging bays to handle the same demand, and it will have the same impact on the grid as a large shopping mall.
Parking garages will have to be overhauled and re-lined to hold fewer vehicles because of the increased danger of fire because of the batteries and those fires spreading to other vehicles.
And as far as the impact on the environment, the mining of lithium and cobalt required for the batteries has an absolutely devastating impact on the environment. And on top of that you have the fact that much of the world's supply of cobalt is mined using slave and prison labor. A savvy Republican candidate could absolutely bloody the Democrats with images from cobalt mining.
Most electric vehicles I have read about have maybe 50-60% of the range on a gas vehicle that gets 30+ MPG. And that's at 100% charge. Going on a 300+ mile trip? Better plan on at least an hour to stop along the way
torecharge, as opposed to a 5 minutes to refill with gas. Except that with gas if you refilled the day before, you won't have to stop.
When the American public at large comes face to face with these factors, I think the whole EV push will come to a screeching halt in most of America, and certainly at the federal level.

That looks like some old timer talking about how they will never replace the horse. "They'd have to build highways and filling stations everywhere. It'll never happen"
The fact is that whenever a fuel source is developed with a higher energy density than gasoline, we will go with that - regardless of how we will have to change our infrastructure - whether it's batteries or hydrogen cells or dilithium crystals.

How is 2.67 low?
