And 50 years from now they're gonna be saying, "Why the fuck didn't Dad's generation fix this stupid problem while they had the chance? Now we have to pay for their fuck ups :-("
If you think saving the planet is nonsense then I wish you would move to another one

The experts........ Or the one pushing what ever ideology is the favor of the day.... A friend of mine always says, "The whole world is a hustle and a scam." In climate control, we are hustled and scammed. We are truly getting our children's future hustled and scammed from them before they are born. We are spending money that we do not have at a rate that our children's children will not be able to pay back. Climate control has been more about control of money than anything else.

Naaahhh. 50 years from now it'll be some other "Big Deal" used to try to scare us into conforming to some new agenda. AOC and the NGD will be footnotes somewhere filed under 'fraud'
'futility' or 'charlatan', and my kids will be yelling at their kids to "close the goddam door!! Are you trying to air condition the whole neighborhood?"

What I like about this forum is that here’s lots of good information and people willing to help and share their knowledge.
Most of the time, anyway
. Fortunately, there’s Google...That sign is (or was) on US 6 just east of Tonopah. I’ve been there but I don’t recall seeing the sign. But it’s probably still correct if you’re headed to Ely. It’s slightly shorter the nearest gas in Alamo. There are apparently people who care about this sort of thing. The record for the longest stretch between gas stations in the lower 48 seems to be 179 miles north of Winnemucca to Adel, OR.

Just scanned thru this thread and saw the above statement! WTF - some of us think AOC is right on????
If anybody on this list besides the OP thinks AOC (Asshole Obnoxious C*nt) is right on, I am switching forums!! :crazyeyes:
That arrogant child socialist twit is a menace. Fuck her and all the other libtard bozos who buy into that Green shit.

On a paved road...which completely ignores the discussion in this thread related driving off road.

I am. If you are full of shit, I’ll tell you. If not, I won’t. That’s pretty simple in my book. [emoji23]

Our founding fathers had a pretty good idea of it: "We hold these TRUTHS to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness....."
Since I already know where you're going with this, a 70% weather-changing tree-hugger tax would definitely infringe upon my right to life, liberty, and my pursuit of happiness.
So you pay your 70% tax, I pay nothing, and we leave each other the fuck alone and we all get to enjoy these self-evident TRUTHS. :beer:

You do realize that these charging stations are on the public power grid? You do realize that the majority of the power grid is coal fired, even though solar and wind suppy is increasing (at an extremely high cost). So your Tesla is in fact likely to be coal powered when not plugged into your home solar farm. You must have a big yard. How do you charge over night by the way, when your meter is drawing power not feeding power. Hmmm.
Climate change is a reality. That is why half of North America is not under a mile of ice or hundreds of feet of water. Deserts were once swamps. Must have been all the cars the dinosaurs were driving. How about the output of just one major volcanic eruption compared to all the man made emissions.
Do I believe we should do better, yes. But are we causing the end of the world, not hardly. Others have already pointed out the climate change from before modern society with previous ice ages (plural) and flood/swamp events from the warmer periods in between, but that is ignored in climate change media debates in the liberal news. Why, it doesn’t support the hypothesis and conclusions.
There is a reason Al Gore changed the story from global warming to climate change. It was too easy to poke holes in. Have you seen his place? He practices what he preaches you know. As hot as summers are now, and as cold as winter is (even as bad as this winter), it was both hotter and colder when I was a kid. The weather runs in cycles. This is well established.
I have fought and bled for your right to freedom of speech and to believe what you want, but I don’t have to sit quietly by and listen without responding. I am fairly well educated but also not the smartest in the room. But if AOC or Bernie are who you believe to be your saviors, and wish to follow their lead, then go out and by multiple houses and take private planes everywhere when you preach about climate change. But if you take it seriously, then start walking or riding bikes EVERYWHERE you go and stop eating beans.

Lol. This is awesome. I so agree with this. I just find it easier to summarize all of this great info in "Fuck off and leave me alone." Your info was much more thorough and professional though. And thank you for your service.

Thank you both. The assignment I’m in now, makes me have to be more careful in how I speak. But it sure getting harder.
I forgot to add how bad lithium batteries are and how often they need to be replaced. As much as I love them. My uncle gave up driving a Cadillac years ago for a Prius. He is on his third Prius now because of the batteries. He lives a long ways from town and does his best to pull over 60mpg out of it. My Aunt said they drive to town everyday (over 30 miles each way) so good gas mileage helps. He still has his farm truck though. He is about 80. But he makes up for his green ways by running cattle on his 420 acres so they can fart a lot. Not to mention several oil wells to boot. LOL. (All true).
X 2And, if Bill Arnett wants to come follow a group on a real desert run in his EV wheeler, he better bring a generator and a lot of gas to charge it back up before it bricks far from the grid and past where AAA will come and get you

Things I would rather do than go on a run with bill Arnett.
