Disagree on Federal land leases, off shore leases, regulatory policies, ANWAR, pipeline restrictions, drilling permits and his rhetoric. So not even close.

I recall a Simpson's episode where the local TV station added fake flames behind the mayor to make him look like the devil. That was, back then, a joke. I believe Jared Bernstein is the character we are looking for, a social work, music major with a side of philosophy, keynesian economics, no doubt.

richravizza 28 #2609 September 5, 2022 What are the differences between a prop and a personal bodyguard? Me thinks, one stands in the light as a deterrent in guard, at the ready of imminent attack,to sacrifice oneself in service, if needed to assist within arms length.The other is in the background shadows, a placard, if you will. Seems pretty clear ... but not here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't pretend to know the end results of the Inflation Reduction Act, but it was a bill full of long-term plans that was passed one month ago. Do you realize how ridiculous your statement reads?

I'm not sure they aren't already down and we aren't measuring it correctly, somehow. Jet-A is back up over 5 bucks in bulk but that isn't in a standard suburban grocery basket, nor is NYC Apartment rent or houses that aren't being re-financed. Also, oil is down a lot at $85 from the March 2022 high of $120. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, oil is down a lot at $85 from the March 2022 high of $120. The numbers that came out & caused the stock market to dive were August year to year. So all of the inflation from the past year. Month to month has pretty much flattened out. But, of course, the Trumpettes would NEVER admit that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote .The Biden Administration is letting them get away with it too. Given that gas prices are falling fast - apparently not. Quote Unless everyone has 8,000 to 10,0000 watts of solar panels on their roof or back yard, there will never be enough solar power to run everyones car or truck. Well, more like 3000 watts. And that can go on your roof. Or on the parking lot across the street, or covering the building across from them, or on their apartment building's roof, or over a landfill a mile away. To cover the average US commute you need 9 kilowatt-hours a day. In a bad solar area (Seattle) that means you need 3500 watts of solar. In a good solar area (Phoenix) that means you need 1700 watts of solar. 1700 watts of solar costs $850 for the panels themselves. Average gas car costs $5 a day to fuel, so that's a six month repayment for the panels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What kind of lifestyle is that? No vacations, no trips to the beach, no grocery store runs, no cruising the town on a Saturday night. I have two EV's. Recently we drove one of them to Oregon with the kids. No problems. And we STILL generate far more than we use. Have you ever even seen an EV? I would suggest that your 50 year old information from the Real Goods catalog is now out of date. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
