NO ONE COULD GO TO WORK!!!!!
Can no one in the media connect the dots decently ?????
A farmer friend of mine says “an expert is a has been drip of water”.
I went into the local 7/11 for the first time in, literally, a year+ - since the shutdown. Every person in line in front of me was either buying lotto tickets or cigarettes, and most of them both. The rest were fueling up on junk food and gasoline.
No, there is no peak gasoline, just as there is no peak tobacco or lottery stupidity.
They’ll never shut it down bc it’s all too profitable to the state.
China is moving strongly in that direction, and building hundreds of coal fired generating plants to power them.
The US plan of big wind, sleazy solar, and limiting nat gas will be a serious problem.
You will pry my gasoline powered Hemi from my cold dead hands. If you are not driving a Hemi you a driving very expensive GO KART.
Yes the USA will have to fix its power generation system to power additional electric cars. I see real problems for California, which I believer has very limited power capacity in state.
The plan is simple.
Subsidize electrics.
Raise fuel prices and registration on evil carbon.
At some point, most folks will move to electric based on economics. There won’t be any need to “outlaw” gas or diesel, the govt will just make the cost prohibitive.
Twin Turbo, 60-deg V-6, Direct AND Port Injection, 2.7L Eco-Boost seems to Rock.
Especially at Altitude.
YMMV
I captured the entire text in a file, and I’m looking at the file right now — that was the headline when I posted it. IOW, in case you’re not following this, I didn’t make it up.
Wow, I’m not sure there’s even a 7/11 anywhere near here, now that you bring it up. I think society has hit Peak 7/11...
It'll probably take a long while, given that cars don't just get thrown away until they absolutely get intercoursed beyond recognition, and none of the established automakers plan to convert all their production over within, say, two years. And there must be a billion cars worldwide, if not more, with life left in them. Used cars change hands, or become hand-me-downs for new-licensed kids, etc, and regardless of the spin-doctoring, buying a new EV is much more money that buying a non-luxury car, or buying a nicer model that's a few years old. Of course, European Union members may be planning to just eliminate IC and diesel vehicles by 2035, not that far off, which means, a large pool of nice, recent model Germany luxury cars will get sold out of those countries.

I think society has hit Peak 7/11...Haha, you'd think! (Or hope.) But 7/11 has a firm hold on its demographic -- grew from around 8000 stores in 2017 to almost 9800 in 2020.
