I think we can all agree that’s a step in the wrong direction. Elec cars are a joke, renewable energy is just a catch phrase. Best case scenario 10% of our power needs can be reached with renewables...especially if they keep adding inefficient elec cars in the mix.

What we need is for suburbanites to get out of heavy pickups they don’t need and purchase vehicles that get a minimum 30mpg combined. Then keep as many working at home as possible. The goal should be one efficient car families.
I would sell my Vette for that truck if it was S10 size. I hate full size tanks hank.

I am amazed how so many on here make claims that can easily be debunked.

I guess the like the taste of crow!


And WE are the UN-educated!


Depends where you live. "Suncoast Energys in Orlando, Florida, had this distinction on Nov. 16 — it charged $5.95".

" (Rental car companies can end up charging $9 per gallon.)"

https://www.marketplace.org/2018/11/...tions-america/

"LOS ANGELES – California's gasoline price misery is worsening, with prices exceeding $5 a gallon at some stations."

"GasBuddy.com's California price monitoring page showed prices as high as $6 a gallon at one independent retailer in Simi Valley, and more than a dozen others with prices ranging from $5.39 to $5.79 a gallon."

https://www.usatoday.com/story/money...-high/1617801/

NY came darn close, " a CITGO on Hutchinson Parkway in the Bronx on Friday. The station charged $4.89 per gallon, the highest price in the city.

America should be 90%+ nuclear powered.
The closest thing we have to green energy is nuclear.

For most people, if you simply lived closer to your job, high gas prices wouldn't affect you as much. I live just 9 miles from my job and my car avgs 20 miles per gallon overall, so even at $5/gallon, that's what $25/week if I only drive to work and back

5.50 a gallon is the most I paid under Obama in Needles.

Low prices under Republican Administrations..... high prices and wars under Democrats has been the trend.

High gas prices effect everything bra. Even if i never drove again man everything under the sun would go up in price. Just before the end comes gas prices will go over 20 a gal.

Be ready for good old Joe bro when he will tax everything and gas prices go to the moon june.
