Biden wants to get rid of the oil industry. Look at the millions it would affect. There is of course all the oil workers directly. But then consider all the others. Truck drivers that bring the oil to the local gas stations, and especially all the people that work at gas station/quick shops. He would put MILLION out of a job. All for no good reason.

More disinformation Logical?

He does NOT want to get rid of the oil industry. What he wants to do is key more on clean energy which is the future of the entire world. Oil is dirty energy and hurting our environment. In addition, there is a finite amount of oil in the world, meaning whether we like it or not, oil will run out at some point.

Biden is looking to the future and wants to be proactive in doing the intelligent and environmentally positive thing to do. Trump and you want to keep us in the middle ages and simply giving money to the oil barons without considering that it is not the smart thing to do.

Nonetheless, Biden is not going to get rid of the oil industry..............just slowly phase it out. If the oil barons are not intelligent enough to figure out their own way to take advantage of producing clean energy, **** them.

Why are you always doing these misinformation posts that do more damage than good to everyone? Do you care about anyone other than yourself? I doubt it.

the new green deal would be a disaster and would cause a depression like the world has never seen!
 
You can’t get rid of the oil industry because you still need oil for, among many other things, plastics. Which is just by itself a really great reason for moving away from using oil for fuel.
 
The OP is proof we need a new word that takes us past hyperbole to this new place.

Super-hyperbole won't do. Maybe HIGHperbole will get it done.

Again, you show and inability to comprehend what you hear or the willful intent to contort it.

This year is 2020 - Biden said:, by 2050, focusing on renewable energy we should be able to cut our reliance on Fossil Fuel (Oil) That's a 30 yr plan... do you even know what has taken place in the past 30 yrs... and before that, what change over a 30 yr span... in 1980's we were dealing with moving from the Manual Typewriter to Computers... that's been 40 yrs ago... Today... people can now carry the cell phone with capabilities of the computer. We moved from large desktop units, to cell tech, that uses "Apps' to do a majority of software functions and it can be taken any place. Now people can buy, portable battery packs that can recharge the unit multiple time, even when there is no other power source close.
(I bought a battery for my cell phone, that is more than three time as powerful as the battery they come with, It can be three days of usages without a charge, - I try not to buy any cell phone that does not have a replaceable battery, "i don't need a dead brick in my pocket"... )

Every Nation on the Planet is trying to carve and develop a pathway for energy conversion to renewable energy. Maybe people forgot how the world changed for "kerosene lamps" to "Electrical Lifts"... we built hydro electric plants and many other innovation and we are still doing so, to produce energy by use of new sources.
Electric Vehicle is A REALITY....
Maybe the Lack of Reading has left you unaware they have been developing electric big rigs for nearly a decades, city buses that use natural gas, and some are using electric in some of their smaller transport fleet. Tesla has been and is successful, and GM is planned an Electric Hummer. Harley Davidson has built an Electric Motorcycle. .... That's called "CHANGE". Not only have the advanced in the process, the power generated is very high. Some producing more horsepower than gasoline engine vehicles.

Saudi Arabia, over the past years has said, they were building their nation to not rely solely on "Oil", they are committed to diversifying their economy away from reliance of Oil. Maybe the world don't understand what that means. They know and they have the money to get and have the information to know, that the world is changing, and that change is in the direction of renewable energy. The world no longer function on "Coal Fired Industry"... that means change took place...
The world does not remain stagnant, nor does it move forward by chasing the past. it moves forward by thinking forward to research and develop and build new tech, using the knowledge gained to build better.

just like no one is making and building "Buck Board Wagon's with wooden wheels with a steel layer around it"... We have technology that developed tires made of Rubber, and now there is research on how to develop tires that can be recyclable materials.

Therefore, you may cling to the past and resist change,..... whether you like it or care about the facts.... change will continue moving forward.

if you drive a gasoline powered car you going to pay a high tax under the new green deal. if you have an income you will pay a higher tax no matter how much you make. If you are in law enforcement, find a new profession, if you have a automatic firearm you will lose it. a high tax will be paid for ammo and single shot firearms, poverty will increase at a high rate. Kaos will be the order the day, you will not be safe anywhere you live. eventually firearms will be confiscated, who you gonna call when the bad guy comes to your house.
 
What about the lie Biden told about fracking.

So everything is about your pocketbook, right? Lets stay with cheap even if it kills us in the long run. In addition, let me give you a simple but extremely real fact. If we stay with oil, at some point in the not too distant future the price of oil will soar as the product runs out. Gasoline will not be a $3 a gallon but at $10. $20, or more.

In addition, there is no growth of jobs in oil as it is no longer a growing market (it is a shrinking one). There is growth in green energy, meaning there will be more jobs and more people will get employed. As that occurs, the price of green energy will drop even below where the price of oil is now.

You have no vision for the future. If we do what people like you (and Trump) suggest, we will stay in the middle ages.
 
Electric cars and trucks are little more than obscenely priced golf carts.

Stop Spreading BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It does not matter to anyone if you don't get one.... Generation of people younger than you, will be delighted to have those units.

By the way... YOU CAN STILL RUSH OUT AND BUY A HORSE DRAWN BUGGY. although I'd not advise that you try to use it on the Freeway.

By 2050... Some People will still have collectable antique petro fueled vehicles, it may be costly, but what kind of collectable is not.
 
the new green deal would be a disaster and would cause a depression like the world has never seen!
Right Wing Conservative Mentality has been and continue to be a dominant contribution that caused the Depression's of the Past.... That's why we are getting rid of Trump and Republicanism, so we can build forward without being thrust into Depression by "stuck in the past", "backward chasing" Republicanism... and its followers.

Well they have had a hell of a run. If they are smart they will evolve with a changing world.

It is not going to happen overnight. They have plenty of time to reinvest in the energy sources of the future.

And just think what it can save us in lives and treasure not caring about the middle east anymore. They will be no more important to us than Somalia or Nigeria.

Horse and buggy was taken over by the automobile. Mom and pop retail was destroyed by the big box stores. Big box stores are getting killed by Amazon. You have to go with the flow.
 
I'm glad I'm not a fearful person.

I'm also glad I'm not really gullible.

Something similar was said about the appearance of the automobile when horse and buggies were the standard mode of transportation. Technology changes. Gas powered cars days are numbered and the auto industry knows this.

His base demands it.

But we've got all these horses! What are we going to do with all these horses!

The horse industry is going to be gutted.

Your ignorance is somewhat astounding ......

WE don't need the reckless and polluting fossil fuel industries anymore at least not at the levels of today. Solar industry needs workers, wind energy needs workers, water power will need workers once again and
all of these industries will need truck drivers and maintenance people. The defense industry would presumably reduce in cost as we no longer would need USA military bases strung out all over the planet protecting
the oil investors and such.
 
Next year Ford is putting out an all electric F-150.(bravo) The writing is on the wall for fossil fuels and the auto industry knows this.
And what fossil fuel will be used to provide electricity to charge those electric cars?
