Wind and solar are both unreliable. But it sure feels great to virtue signal.

So is oil since it is literally killing our planet. But it sure feels good to be a snarky a hole.

Snarky jerk seems to be the republican brand now.

Batteries can store energy, some cars even use them now.

Speaking of snarky, the battery life of these EV is 10 years. Imagine a waste land full of these batteries and the pollution to mother earth it will create.

Actually solar and wind out outperformed fossil fuels in the Texas disaster. Keep spreading the fake news!

During a brutal Texas cold snap last winter, Gov. Greg Abbott wrongly blamed wind and solar power for the state’s massive grid failure, which was vastly larger than California’s. In fact, renewables outperformed the grid operator’s forecast during 90 percent of the blackout, and in the rest, fell short by at most one-fifteenth as much as gas plants. Instead, other causes — such as inadequately weatherized power plants and natural gas shutting down because of frozen equipment — led to most of the state’s electricity shortages.

Overall solar and wind are more reliable vs fossil fuels and nuclear as measure by System Average Interruption Duration Index. Germany with 50% renewable has 0.25 hours and the the US is 1.28 hours. More renewable sources means more reliability.

Good thing they are recycled. But goobers don’t do that either.

It’s ok. Just let the CCP expand their mining operations in Afghanistan to keep up with demand. There’s a limitless supply of lithium and child labor there!

They may think twice before rolling coal.

Cause for celebration- I would like to see $10/gas. I walk and bike nearly everywhere.

Have you ever been to the midwest, pp? Have you ever visited rural America?
Do you understand that it is not possible for everyone to bike and walk everywhere?
Do you understand that the farmers that grow your food and raise your crops need fuel for their farm equipment?

You are just clueless.

They made dumb decisions about where to live. They chose to live in the middle of nowhere, rather than in a city with access to transit options or bike usage. Their making stupid choices about where they live and being dependent on gasoline in order to get to anywhere isn’t my problem. As for farmers, same question applies - why did they pick a farm out in the middle of nowhere? Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Think long and hard where all the food comes from....

Expensive gas means expensive food sooner or later. At least rural people can grow their own food

Wow. Are you really American? Do you actually even know anything at all about American agriculture? Seems to me you're living in some weird mythical la-la land where all rural people are farmers and food producers. Even in the most heavily agricultural midwestern states like Iowa less than 10% of people are farmers. In reality most rural Americans have the same kinds of jobs that people in the city do, and get most of their groceries from the store just like city people do, except they don't live in the city.

Most people in Iowa live in places like Des Moines or Cedar Rapids and don't necessarily drive more than most people in the DMV. Smaller towns in Iowa are going to be more walkable than Silver Spring or Takoma Park.

I find these threads weird. There's a deliberate, willful and contemptuous hatred by some progressive posters for large stretches of the country. So if you think some republican bully is being aggressive, ask yourself why.

Yes, there is. Because those voters are the ones who gave us the orange baboon.

So I’m not going to conceal my delight and glee at knowing they’ll be paying $7 (hopefully more) for gas for their Hemi’ pick up truck. So yes, I’m laughing my ass off knowing how badly that will screw them. I LOVE it. F’ them all day long.

Still better than burning oil.

Fun fact, buy an electric car and who cares.

All the red necks with their lifted F250 super duty are the ones complaining about gas prices.

I don’t know a person that has mentioned gas prices, most don’t even look because they know they need it and it’s really not that big of a deal. Gas is still much lower than it was in 2005-2007 time frame.

Wind and solar are not unreliable. This is completely a fake narrative created by slavering oil lovers. It is not virtue signaling to see the future and try to adjust for it. When OPEC can control how much we pay for crude oil and literally hold the world over a barrel, you'd think you'd be more interested in finding alternatives for a shrinking supply of a price manipulated good.

Probably because you live in a liberal bubble.
And, ..... If you "don't know a person that has mentioned gas prices," how do you know they are "all the red necks with their lifted F250 super duty?"

Because everyone complaining on the internet/social media all drive dumb massive trucks (with no logical reason to own them other that is exudes FREEDOM!).

I don’t drive an electric car bc I don’t care if gas is 3 or 4 a gallon.

So did you just admit that a liberal bubble = self sufficient people who won’t freak out over a $.30 increase in gas prices!? If so, yup. That’s me!

Well…how reliable are gas cars as you complain about oil prices LOL. If you’re so worried about gas prices then clearly owning a gas car ain’t for you

Living in a liberal bubble is complaining from a place where your living does not come from driving for a living or relying on gas to get to the store to buy groceries or to the doctor's office. And, living in a liberal bubble is not understanding that millions have an income that even a 30 cent increase/gallon impacts their way of life.

I gotta be honest, I’m going to be really disappointed if gas is only $7/gal. I’m hoping for $10.
