    I’m not saying that gas stations are not benefiting from federal funds today or that roads and bridges built by the government in the past have indirectly benefited them. What I am saying is that there was never a government program to build thousands of gas stations paid for by the taxpayers like today’s plan to build thousands of charging stations paid for by taxpayers

    I am flattered that you think I have all the answers.
  4. brenthutch
    I’m just asking the question, yet nobody has given an answer.

    For contempt of Congress, like Steve Bannon did?

    By producing 100% of it domestically, duh.

    The future I refer to is many decades down the road, not the next five to ten

    Because of the variable nature of renewables (aka unreliable) they have to be backed up by conventional energy 100%. At this time renewables just add cost and complexity to the energy grid. Just ask California and Germany.

    I would agree that sometime in the future EVs may be perfectly feasible, however that time is not now. We are wasting billions of dollars on nascent technology that is not ready for prime time. The amount of material that has to be mined and refined is massive compared to what an ICE vehicle requires. Ask the children in Congo about cobalt mining

    If that was the case the government wouldn’t have to pay folks thousands of dollars to buy them.

    Would that be they’re more expensive or because of their limited range perhaps it is the way their ponderous weight chews up tires or their limited towing ability or could it be the lengthy recharging time? What are these practical reasons of which you speak?

    Did you even watch the video? I’m really starting to think the folks who still believe this green energy nonsense are suffering from a type of mind virus or that it has become a sort of pseudo religion.

    Once again you are confusing the building of roads and bridges and subsidies to push biofuels with the construction of gas stations.

    That is not what I asked, now is it? I’ll try again… How many billions of dollars did the government spend on installing gas stations? I’ll help… The answer of course is zero

    As if they be could even more out of touch. I’m sure John Kerry was in attendance. https://dailycaller.com/2023/12/05/elite-climate-summit-united-nations-responsible-yachting/ “The event, titled “Responsible Yachting. Today & Tomorrow,” was moderated by Nico Rosberg, a yacht-owning former race car driver”

    Charging stations are analogous to gas stations…not roads and bridges. With that in mind, I will re-ask. How many billions of dollars did the government spend on gas stations?

    https://redstate.com/joesquire/2023/12/05/where-are-all-those-ev-chargers-congress-spent-billions-on-in-2021-n2167185 EVs are a non-solution to a non-problem that most folks don’t even care about. Some inquiring minds might ask, where did those billions go? I’m sure the sheep will reply “to saving the planet”

    Because there is no compelling evidence that he is wrong. If you can provide that I would be more than happy to see it. Can you “just stop oil”? I didn’t think so.
  21. brenthutch
    I’m far from perfect but at least I’m not a hypocrite.
  22. brenthutch
    What kind of EV do you drive? Of course it has to be powered by the solar panels on your roof. If not, YOU and folks like you are the problem, not the oil companies. You talk a good game but when it comes time to make the sacrifices required to put your money where your mouth is you fall short. At least BillV walks the walk. I like to call that integrity.

    28 years later and the oil tanker is going even faster. Not a very effective reverse gear. Looks like someone (the UN) is not a very effective pilot.

    Wow! I never knew! 28 conferences dedicated to lowering CO2 emissions and today our emissions are higher than ever and still growing. Success? Or comical failure?

    Let’s get back to the topic of the OP. The UN having an OPEC member host a climate summit presided over by the chief executive of an oil company reveals what a laughingstock and charade the whole UN climate scam is. They probably chose Dubai because of the massive party budget. COP conferences are nothing but series of tales told by a bunch of idiots, full of sound and fury signifying nothing.
