[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gee, if only we had ramped up on fossil fuel alternatives years ago…. thanks for standing in the way Republicans![/quote]

So an entire electric grid and EV charging infra would have been good to go and resilient to these gas shocks if we had started a few year ago?

Nice, why didn't we think of that sooner![/quote]

Yes, actually. The technology has been available for plenty long enough. We could have been building a functional commuter train network. We could have done a lot if not for the fossil fuel industry and their minions in congress. Electric cars were first developed decades ago. Even ICE engines could be way more efficient than 20 mpg if not for car companies marketing horsepower and red blooded American aggression over fuel efficiency and environmental protection. You guys stood in the way and now want to complain about fuel prices. So transparent. [/quote]

Interesting. Show me a country comparable to the United States where this is the case. Or are those damn "Republicans" slowing things down elsewhere too? Even climate-forward European countries are suffering from these shocks. Just spoke to a friend from Norway a few days ago, and he is absolutely feeling the pinch in his electricity prices.[/quote]

The USA is the only global superpower. If we wanted to we could have changed the entire world order of energy production. Europe has conservatives and greedy oil corporations too ya know! Europeans also can easily get to work without car transportation. Even that one factor would place us in a better position but the Republicans don’t want a functional rail system in this country.

So, in short, you are talking out of your behind and relying on magical thinking. Thanks.[/quote]

And you are just another Republican bully. I know, it’s all that you’ve got!

No good faith discussion to see here folks! [/quote]
