Heading into the holiday weekend, Californians are paying the highest price ever per gallon of gas for this time of year — $4.39 for regular, according to the Auto Club of Southern California. That price has remained unchanged over the last week. A year ago, the statewide average was $3.24 a gallon for regular.
Gas prices are only the tip of the iceberg.....inflation is up big time on just about everything. We have finally gotten to the point that too much money has been printed, IMO
California's gas is more expensive because all gasoline sold in California must be reformulated to remove pollutants that cause smog and cancer.
I'm willing to pay more for cleaner air, but California needs to invest in nuclear energy and electric cars.
There's no reason why we should be using fossil fuels in the 21st century.
We could have been an entirely nuclear powered society if the misguided environmentalists didn't have so much irrational fear over nuclear energy -- and also, fossil fuel companies intentionally poison the well by promoting anti-nuclear energy propaganda, which of course benefits them financially.
Fossil fuel energy is outdated and unnecessary.
Pollution caused by fossil fuels causes millions of deaths globally every year.
Nuclear energy produces no air pollution.
The small amount of radioactive waste can be easily stored in underground tunnels 2+ miles deep under the Earth.
Not going to derail the thread Vikings but fossil fuels power motor vehicles, and even today, more than 20% through the 21st century, we don’t have the tech to replace them all with electric. So I stand by my assessment of your statement that we should be completely off fossil fuels in the 21st century.
I’m with you on nuclear BTW.
