Thank you for taking notice. I'll tell the one guy in the development who owns a Tesla. The rest of us drive on cheap gasoline.
WE didn't do anything of the sort.

This state is very divided. Don't act like most of it loves Trump. Yeah, there are MAGA types here, but he barely got over half the vote.

This state is gerrymandered all to hell.

Enjoy Governor Cooper.

Yes Obama started out to drive the change to the renewable economy.

However as things developed he changed his views to reflect the reality.

Here is a good discussion...

How Obama Became the Oil President – Mother Jones

So you can thank Obama for that cheap gas you are buying.
The anti-Obama types would not thank the man if he showed up in a fire truck and saved them from dying in a house fire.

Fact? Gasoline is $1.99/gallon here. It's $1.79/gallon in part of Charlotte in SC.

Very rare day to see an electric car on road. Obama said there would be millions.

Those are the facts.

Not hard to understand, but hard to accept by some.

No:
"Union of Concerned Scientists undertook a comprehensive, two-year review of the climate emissions from vehicle production, operation, and disposal. They found that battery electric cars generate half the emissions of the average comparable gasoline car, even when pollution from battery manufacturing is accounted for."

Where is Obama's quote on millions of electric cars in USA......he set a goal of one million...that's not the same thing at all.

I seriously am concerned with your ability to interpret what you are reading. Have you been tested lately. The pig story, the misleading headlines, the celebrating of non-factual information.....

I will say a prayer for you.

Let's see.
  • I said that NC did not vote for Obama in '12 after voting for him in '09 -> Check
  • I said that NC voted to give Trump its electoral votes in '16 -> Check
  • I didn't say that NC also booted the Democrat and gave it's seat in the US Senate to the GOP in '16 -> Check
We did everything I said.



As for Cooper, not sure why you bring him up, because I didn't vote for McCrory. He deserved to lose that seat for HB2. I didn't vote for Cooper either. But he's also irrelevant. The GA took away all his power.

Sarah Palin was right. Drilling would bring down the price. There's so much gasoline now, the USA is an exporter!

On the other hand, Obama told us there would be a millions of electric cars on the road by now Spent 10s of billions to promote it. Yet there are only a tiny fraction. Another failure by Obama.
So, she said it - and Obama did it (most of what you are talking about happened under Obama - gas prices hit their peak under GW and Cheney)....

And you give her the credit?

Wow, I guess that's why Sarah Palin rose above class Idiot. She can repeat sayings over and over again.

Now - who gets the credit for the MANY Gigawatts of renewable energy created last year in the USA? Gigawatts which having been bringing down the price of electricity?

Palin?

Price of electricity is going up. Renewable energy costs a lot more.

Went up significantly under Obama and mostly due to his war on coal.
