Trump has the worst economic record of any modern president. He had NEGATIVE job growth. His tax cut cost the US $2T to date. Gas prices were low because OPEC flooded the market with oil to hamper US domestic production.
Irrelevant in that your response had nothing to do with my post about the impact on global prices from the additional contributions from the Keystone XL pipeline. Your response had nothing to do with what I said. It would have made sense to have not quoted me and just made that point as a standalone item; quoting me means you're responding to what I wrote and the assumption is your response would be related to what I wrote.
It has everything to do with being proactive instead of being reactive. doubt seriously that any radical leftists pro green energy proponent understands that. There is no question that Biden and the radical left is waging war on fossil fuel totally ignoring that there are consequences and costs associated with that conversion. That plus the reality that the median income in this country is approximately 32,000 per year and an electric car costs upwards of 50,000. Rich liberal elites and big city dwellers who don't one a car seem to be the biggest proponents of moving off fossil fuel. That is what is called liberal compassion.
BUT BUT BUT Con, thinks he was the greatest President EVER.
Why has the price increased in California then recently.
I own property that has oil and gas leases on it.
Wrong. And since you like bbc.com:
Texas weather: Are frozen wind turbines to blame for power cuts?
Frozen wind turbines are being blamed for power failures - but problems with fossils fuels are a bigger issue.www.bbc.com
They have always had high prices due to high taxes and California Reformulated Gasoline due to their OWN EPA regulations. Most stations in California are independently run thus can set their own prices. You tell me why the price of gasoline is higher today than it was during the Trump term? The reality is Biden's war on fossil fuel is getting a lot of attention at the pumps
And what oil company would that be? You think the oil companies make any money if they don't sell their product? The conspiracy theory continues as you continue to show that you aren't even close to being a conservative.
Liberal gov't's normal operating procedure. You going to tell me that California needs 67 cents per gallon to handle the highway roads and infrastructure?

Oh by the way the state tax on gasoline is only one tax on gasoline, here is an approximate 18 cents per gallon Federal Tax which funds FEDERAL HIGHWAYS and INFRASTRUCTURE
You realize of course, that most people don't own gas guzzlers simply for the amount of gas they guzzle, right?Seriously. It's an unhinged rant, and you can't help but wonder how many of them own gas guzzlers.
Except nothing I was talking about had anything to do with proactive versus reactive, but since we're on the topic, the only person who doesn't seem to understand this is you. Energy companies have been investing in green energy because they understand the shift and are being proactive so they are active competitors. The other option would be complacency and reliance on their current product which would lead to a reactionary strategy down the line; that would be the worst scenario to be in because it is a game of catch up. I'm not sure how this escapes you considering your claim of experience in this sector.
"Waging war" is quite hyperbolic and inaccurate. What the administration is doing is enacting policies to reduce the carbon footprint of vehicles by improving MPG efficiency and investing in the infrastructure that will make electric cars more viable. The way you're framing this paints the picture of country where nothing advances because of the "consequences and costs" which fosters a lack of innovation. The question is how those consequences and costs are managed. I suppose one could have argued against the car in the horse and buggy days by saying that the cost of making roads drivable for cars was going to cost money.
Like any new technology, the price point is always high in the early days, but then drops as demand drives production and availability. Thus far the market has been cornered by Tesla, and the early days featured very expensive cars because the market was quite small. The investment in charging stations and the production increase by US and foreign auto makers will be part of what drives the costs down. Of course technology will continue to change and improve, and hopefully we'll get to a point where electric cars have the range gasoline powered ones do.

A bit racist, don't you think? Why would you write something like this? I guess it's who you are.
And you choose to be a typical Canadian ignoring liberal policies that cause all the problems by destroying incentive and then placing blame. like most Canadians you still cannot explain why you support Biden when only 38% do on the economy today?
Of course not. It's a mixed bag between those who own vehicles with low MPG that are used for work, and those which are personal choices. Those who choose cars with low MPG for non utilitarian reasons are making a conscious decision that aren't work related.
We have more oil than God in the United States
I'm sure the Asians the world over are offended is this NWO easily offended snowflake world.
Off the mark? Can you even read the charts you posted? what state leads the nation in wind power? you ever going to tell us what consequences there are for Green energy and why you support that for autos when the costs is more than most Americans can ever pay and the upkeep and maintenance is unknown? Seems people like you are out of touch with reality buying rhetoric but never offering a valid reason for your support
There are many kinds of alternative energy and I'm guessing that windmills are one of the solutions but not THE solution. Is there a way to winterize windmills too? I don't know but that's not the point. You're against ANY form of alternative energy which is just beyond, beyond. I thought you have kids and grandkids? Don't you want them living in a world that has less pollution and more clean energy? They will all be driving in EVs in the next 20 years and if you're still alive you might be too as the cost of the cars come down. How can you ignore that Ford, GM et al are converting almost all of their future cars to electricity and the EVs will become the common car? Regressive, I know.
Far more than the left-wing posters here.WTF would a pipe fitter know about anything?
You really have a passion for this issue and the question is why? I do have kids and grandkids but don't buy the liberal scare tactics about how global warming is destroying the earth. You always buy the liberal message but ignore the liberal results, why is that? There are never any consequences with liberalism, is there?
