Biden threatened "consequences" for the Saudi monarchy. And he has aggressively announced he will release more barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve ahead of midterms. There are some media reports that he asked the Saudi monarchy to postpone the announcement until after the midterms. And so the Saudis refused to bow to Biden pressure and did the exact opposite of what the Biden administration wanted. An increase in oil production obviously makes no sense for Saudis as they know interest rate hikes will lead to an economic slowdown which would lead to reduced global oil demand, but the Saudis would have at least considered it anyway if the USA had the Saudis by the short and curlies (as Turgid puts it).

Paris to Frankfurt round trip is a little over 1000 km.
An Audi S8 will use 10.2 L per 100 km when driving like a normal person on the autobahn but that drops significantly when the driver is an idiot driving at 300 kmph. To capitalize on ethanol E85, you'd have to get it in France as you can hardly find it in Germany and if you actually do find it, it costs as much as the other fuel types. Anyway, at best you get 0. 80 euro per liter in France for 100 L to travel 1000 km and you're paying at least 80 euro.
2022 Tesla Mode S gets up to 675 km on it's 100 kWh battery which charges from 10 to 80% in 24 minutes on a super charger. That would be quite a long way to drive to go get bread and the same range as an Audi A4.
Most people will charge their EVs at home for 0. 20 euro per kWh in France. A full 100 kWh charged at home would cost 20 euro and will get you over 600 km. Then you need another 70 kWh to get yourself the other 400 km. Well you can charge for free at hotels, Lidls, Aldis, etc so the return trip could possibly cost zero euros if take care of logistics. So a Model S from Paris to Frankfurt and back could cost only 20 euro of in-home electricity. But even at the highest current EV charging station prices, that's 0. 80 euro per kWh for the remaining 400 km. That would be 49, call it 50 euro. Add the original 20 euro it cost to charge at the house and you're looking at a maximum of 70 euro for a round trip Paris to Frankfurt and back in a Tesla Model S with a 20 minute charge time if paying to use a supercharger station or zero opportunity cost lost of time charging for free overnight at a hotel.
And LOL at Hydrogen. "Everywhere around us". Chemistry and physics would have been helpful here. You don't just take hydrogen from air and put it in a tank. In fact there's hardly any hydrogen in the air at all. You make hydrogen fuel in 2 major ways. The clean way is by splitting water, a ridiculously energy expensive process that defeats the point. Know what the cheaper way is? Through the use of burning coal. Completely inefficient and expensive process. Then factor in the cost production.
Then there's transporting hydrogen to every fuel station in a city. Do you have any idea how volatile hydrogen gas is? Of course you don't. It's literally 10 times more volatile than petrol gasoline. Ever heard of the Hindenburg? The Hydrogen Bomb? Do you know how much more volume hydrogen takes up? Transporting that to individual fuel stations all over a country is absurd.

He names his company Tesla after the famous inventor Nicola Tesla, but he dispises how Nicola Teslas mind worked. Trying to give everyone free energy. Elon is an idiot in the way he compared himself more to the douchebag that was Thomas Edison. Who wanted to capitalize on everything, and making people into slaves.
You also see it with Elons rethorics regarding AI and Neurallink. He claims we should fear AI since it will become smarter than us. And then he creates a company called Neurallink in order to make AI think like humans, just way faster and smarter. So he is creating in essence what he is fearmongering.
Much the same use of rethorics as our Thai American resident here on ISG. The difference is just that Elon is well aware, while our Thai American here is blissfully unaware.

In your case that of being an inbecile yourself.
This is basic rethorical psychology.

Also, are you an alias of HammerTime? Writing is different but fundamentals of thought processes are quite similar if not mirror images. Maybe just attended the same Klan meetings?

Posts: 6686Well, when the world runs out of natural resources we are pretty fucked. In ages past, what we did was to deform the world again by uplifting and changing the geology of the planet. Only then could new resources from deep within come up towards the surface. The zenneck surface wave was used, and we can technically do the same today already. It is what Nicola Tesla was toying with. And this was how we had the great flood of Noah, and how Atlantis sank. Though they didn't use a ship, but a spaceship. Elon Musk might be the Noah of our age.
