As war sends oil prices soaring, fossil fuel giants rake in billions while Americans get stuck with the bill, even though EVs already offer a cheaper way out…
The problem? The message to voters is that Brown illegals picking your lettuce are a crime threat even though they are hundreds of miles from your home.
Just ignore the wildfire smoke. Pay no attention to our atmospheric rivers, the heat domes. Who cares about weekly Katrinas, Andrews, and Melissas? Donald needs a billion, then oilmen can "Drill, baby, DRILL !!!"
The real problem is that Satanic forces are trying to stifle our Orange Jesus. He who was sent by Jeffrey Epstein to violently rape our children and grab our wives' lady bits whilst teaching the Yellows, Browns, Blacks, and Reds a caged-up, violent, lethal lesson.
At one time, petroleum made economic sense--cheap and plentiful--though it never made environmental sense. Today it doesn't even make economic sense, in light of wind and solar development. It's only through the political power it has built up over the decades that it is able to retain its prominent place in the world, through bribery, deceit, and war.
GREAT piece, Thom! Note also that China, not in the thrall of Big Oil, is far and away the world leader in EV technology (wherefore art thou, America?). Most recently, the Chinese have developed an EV battery that replaces rare and costly lithium with cheap and ubiquitous sodium. SODIUM! Short sighted, unfettered capitalism is ringing our death knell in so many ways.
Oh no ,Thom, now you've gone and done it. The coolest car you've ever owned! I bought a 2025 Lexus Hybrid 6 ES months ago, the coolest car I ever owned although my gas guzzling limited edition Lexus covertible was pretty cool too. I was strongly leaning towards checking out and likely trading it in for the 2026 all electric version which will be available next month. Ann visted her son in Providence a few months ago and they drove many times in his Ioniq and she said it was even more impressive than our Lexus hybrids. (She bought the RX SUV when I got my new car.)
Now she says, and I agree, that I should check out the Ioniq and the Lucid before I get the Lexus and see how much of a trade-in I can get on a new car with only a few thousand miles on it.
If we get a chance perhaps we can talk about it and you can show me the car when we see you on April 9th.
EVs cost less to drive, but we can't afford one. We're still driving a combustion-engine van and an old Chevy S-10. We have an e-bike for when there is no gas at any price.
My hybrid got 51 mpg going home the other night. I hope to get an EV eventually. This small area has abundant charging stations now.
Another consideration, it is wise to get rid of gas in your home. It is rare to go a week when a huge explosion isn't on the nightly news.
All burning of fuels, including "natural" gas takes a toll on lungs, yours or your child's. This comes from recent studies. When we know better, we should DO better.
Thanks Thom, now I'm happier with my Mustang EV. It's a rolling computer that does things for no apparent reason. Sometimes the windshield wipers will come on when its not raining. The first 2 times I put it in reverse I was looking for a backhoe as the warning ding dong sounds just like heavy machinery. The air blower will mysteriously go on full tilt perhaps simulating a hurricane, just for driver entertainment I suppose. Driving by every gas station makes all of its quirks worth it. Saving money and time.
Brilliant - love this and the comparison with a hairdryer, Even thought have so little hair, I don’t need one :)

Mesothelioma? Schmesothelioma.
VOTE. #Barron to Boot Camp. Eric to the strait.

In the early 20th century, electric cars were actually more common than gasoline in many urban areas.
Power Source Market Share (1912) Typical Range
Steam 40% Varies by boiler size
Electric 38% 60–100 miles
Gasoline 22% Effectively unlimited (via gas stations)

Can use hemp as a substitute.

Burning down the house and your lungs....

Great explanation, Thom. See you in the streets.
