It really is amazing that a politician could be caught in so many lies, plagiarisms, and lies about plagiarisms and yet still be voted in as President. Truly amazing.

Edit: not that Trump was any better. I voted for Kanye.

Trump was light years better than this catastrophe.

Kanye would have been amusing I guess, except that looking at those damned Cartrashians all day in the news would have been unbearable.

Back to oil, there is an intriguing documentary on Exxon premiering tonight on CNBC done by David Faber. Should be an interesting watch.

And why is that??

We can't get around the law of thermodynamics. The only green energy is nuclear, and hydro.

Many reasons. All of which would take 15-20 years of infrastructure investment to change.

We really need to go all in on nuclear.

I love driving my coal, nuclear, natural gas powered car. The torque is amazing and the convenience of never visiting a gas station or changing oil is significant. The superior experience is what will shift the trend, not some desire to save the planet.

What I find interesting about the infrastructure argument is that it is never includes graphs of daily electricity load trends. Peak electricity usage occurs during the day, with summer peaks from air conditioning in the afternoon. Nightly EV charging, while using more total electricity, balances the daily load. A more balanced daily load facilitates more efficient steady state production and distribution of energy. A grid that produces and delivers with lower valleys is more efficient. We just need a few more gigawatts of steady state power in place of on demand daytime peak sources. This is where the solar EV symbiosis falls apart because solar is only suitable for daytime peaks, whereas mass EV adoption "flattens the curve" by raising evening demand.

In the end, market forces will drive renewable energy adoption. At scale, many "green" sources are already less expensive than fossil fuels. We just need the .gov out of the way.

A 4 point plan that includes nothing within his control, and several ideas that are in completely contradiction of each other. Brillant
