[QUOTE=CaliGuy;2682864]And by the way. Only 3% of new cars sold in 2021. At this rate it is going to take 30 years to phase out gas cars.[/QUOTE]BTW, I don't think internal combustion engine vehicle production will end.

There will still be a use and some demand for gas powered cars.

But use of electric vehicles as replacements for gas powered ones will stay strong. A long-standing trend as people enjoy the smaller maintenance costs.

Eventually the oil industry will consist of shrinking companies, at least for the companies that don't diversify.

Clawing at each other over a dwindling market.

Good direction you are giving your clients CaliGuy. Oil & gas investments today need exit strategies.

[QUOTE=AxelHeyst;2682961]As inflation soars, supply chain issues continue, a recession looks ever more likely, and Russia's ongoing invasion & slaughter in the Ukraine command national attention, migrants are still pouring across the southern border with Mexico in unprecedented numbers. Today Governor Greg Abbott said Texas will address the migrant influx, which he accused the Biden administration of fueling, by re-routing them to Washington, D. C, on charter buses. Ha!

"We are sending them to the United States Capitol where the Biden administration will be able to more immediately address the needs of the people that they are allowing to come across our border," Governor Abbott said. And I should add where the bullshit left wing corporate media will not be able to ignore the problem any longer.

Let's Go Brandon![/QUOTE]Great post but you forgot to mention that Biden approved free cell phones for all illegals today. Yes he is pretty generous with our tax dollars. I would think closing the border could save us some money also.

[QUOTE=DramaFree11;2682966]Closer to 90-95% were better off. This going to end badly if Biden and clowns around him do not get there act together.[/QUOTE]30% were democrats who were better off under Trump but are to stupid to admit it. That is why it is only 70%.

[QUOTE=ScatManDoo;2682892]You are a really poor reader.

I wrote 8% of US car sales in the United States in 2021 were electric vehicles.

Your "correction" was incorrect, since I was not commenting on worldwide vehicle sales.

The United States sold close to 18 million new vehicles in their best years, but only close to around 14 million vehicles during most recent years in the last 12 to 15 years.

Worldwide automobile production has ramped up to annually around 80 million vehicles currently.

So when Tesla delivered close to a million electric cars in year 2021, it was around 6-7% of US production, but only around 1% of worldwide car production.

The reason why worldwide EV production is around 3% is because China is growing a big expansion of electric vehicles, most of which can't meet current United States highways safety requirements.

Cut your 30 year estimate down to seven or eight years.

Oil & gas stocks will tumble well before that.[/QUOTE]Cali Guy was right. Only 3% of new cars bought in USA in 2021 were electric.

[QUOTE=PVMonger;2682887]You and CaliGuy suffer from the same perverted "post hoc ergo propter hoc" thinking.

If inflation and higher gasoline prices were happening solely in the USA, then you might have a point. But they aren't. Every country is suffering from inflation and high gasoline prices so Biden isn't to blame. Except in the tiny minds of Republicans.

If the southern border were really open, there wouldn't be any migrant camps in Mexico. But there are plenty so the border isn't open.

Red states have a higher crime rates than blue states. I guess supporting the Orange Buffoon didn't really mean tough crime.

Red states have higher poverty rates than blue states. I guess voting Republican means we'll all be poor.

These are the difference between President Biden and the one-term, twice-impeached, fake-POTUS former guy.[/QUOTE]Red states didn't defund their police so crime is not out of control like in Chicago, LA and Seattle amongst other liberal cities. I have homes in 2 red states and I can assure you that there are more homeless in LA than in several red states. There probably isn't another stupid American living that thinks democrats are tough on crime. Your post is laughable as a joke but disgusting.

[QUOTE=Canada;2683006]30% were democrats who were better off under Trump but are to stupid to admit it. That is why it is only 70%.[/QUOTE]Yep, we will see what happens.

[QUOTE=DramaFree11;2682966]Closer to 90-95% were better off. This going to end badly if Biden and clowns around him do not get there act together.[/QUOTE]By the end of this year, Biden will already have achieved more positive economic legislation, national security and foreign policy results than any Repub ever. If he does nothing for the next two years, it won't change any of the historic legislation he has already passed and set in motion.

Incoming Repub leadership, if any, will most assuredly spend the next two years claiming credit for the amazing historic results thanks only to Joe, Nancy, Chuck, the Dems and everyone who voted for them and no one else.

As Know Nothing and Do Nothing Repubs usually do.

Well, their Doing Nothing would be a great improvement over what they typically do, which is to produce the worst across the board results in history.

[QUOTE=Canada;2682856]Can you explain why 70% of the people say they were better off under Trump presidency rather than Biden presidency? Can you explain to everyone why $6 gas is better than $2 gas for the average family? Can you explain why 8% inflation is better than 0% inflation for the average family? Can you explain why open borders with illegals and drugs pouring into our country is better for average families? Can you explain higher crime in our cities is better than lower crime for average families? Can you explain why poverty is better than prosperity for the average family? Those are the differences between Trump and Biden. I need you to explain how this is better for the average family.[/QUOTE]Please post a link for this poll you and other wingers have been referencing.

[QUOTE=EihTooms;2682981]I hear Hunter Biden's laptop switched parties from the Dems to the Repubs because the Asian footjob chicks are younger over there. Much younger.[/QUOTE][URL]https://nypost.com/2022/03/22/video-shows-preschoolers-chanting-they-want-joe-biden-out-during-class/[/URL]

[QUOTE=Canada;2682952]Don't be lazy. Watch his press conferences. Fake news isn't going to report it.[/QUOTE]Evidently [B]you[/B] can't provide me with a "fake news" source that proves (you know, with charts and graphs taken from real, informed sources) that at some point in time in the recent past the USA didn't import one drop of foreign oil.

That's what energy independence is and that's what you can't prove, even with "alternative facts" sources.

Here is the actual report. [URL]https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-red-state-murder-problem[/URL].

Here are the highlights: (1) In 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Donald Trump than those won by Joe Biden. (2) 8 of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election this century.

Of course, you will say that this is "fake news" like you always do. But that simply proves that you can't think for yourself and that you have bought in to rightwingnut propaganda.

[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2682889]{snip}Wrong again. Oil is a global commodity. The more that is produced, the more supply goes up, and the more price goes down. It does not matter where the oil goes. As long as it goes to the world market, it will have an effect on price. Again, you do not get how oil is sold. {snip}[/QUOTE]So, if the USA produced no oil and OPEC produced more than enough to cover the USA shortfall, would oil prices go up or down? Using your logic above, the price of oil would go down because there is more supply.

Is OPEC producing more oil now, or less? They are producing less.

Therefore, the problem with the per-barrel price of oil isn't President Biden, it is OPEC. Just like it was in the 70's.

His press conferences show he is weak. He is against increasing domestic energy. He is incompetent. Don't rely on the news. Real or fake. If you aren't smart enough to see the truth then you aren't.
