Lying by omission again, I see.Quote:
Gas prices are $1.50 a gallon higher than they should be because of the greed of big oil. It's time for a windfall profits tax.
CORRECTION: Gas prices are $2.80 higher than they should be.

Yup. You keep saying so.
Yet after 4 years of great gas prices under Trump, here we are.
Get fucked, idiot.

Keep in mind that those 42 gallon barrels of oil, after refining, can result in 20 gallons of gasoline.
So the scaling on those overlapping charts is totally goofy, with NEGATIVE $30 per barrel equalling $2 per gallon after the costs of refining. Or, NEGATIVE $30 per barrel plus refining costs results in $40 of gasoline - about $70 per barrel in refining costs, at maximum economy.
And you don't even understand what a refinery does, do you? A standard U.S. barrel contains 42 gallons of crude oil which yields about 44 gallons of petroleum products. The refinery sells all 44 gallons, not just the 19 for gasoline.

Quote:I remember Trump taking credit for the stock market going up. When it went down, he didn't take credit. By the way, he has zero control of it going up or down. One thing he did have control over was the National Debt. There is $1 trillion per year in taxes NOT being collected, but it can't be because the Republicans in Congress refuse to fund more IRS auditors. I am waiting for Trump's personal income tax audit to end, but it never does because Trump has 12 full-time tax attorneys, whose objections keep the one IRS auditor who works on Trump busy for 8 hours per week. Then there are the tax cuts Trump signed. The “King of Debt” promised to reduce the national debt — then his tax cuts made it surge. The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That’s nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined.

The Capitalists of America know about Trump's $7.8 trillion. That is free money floating around. The Capitalists vacuum the $7.8 trillion into their bank accounts by raising prices.

Nope.
Until we build a lot of nuclear plants, your electric cars are a fuckin' pipe dream.
Oh... and P.S. That stupid little Chevy pickup that you fake bought will only charge to 80% in 41 to 44 minutes from 15%. (Anything beyond 80% slows significantly) That means, unless you have a few hours to burn charging it to full, you're going to get about 320 miles on it before you have to take an almost hour long break to get back to driving. And that's only if you aren't using the pickup truck to haul anything and you're not a fatass.
And 80% of 200 kWh is 160 kWh, so do have fun charging that up to 80% for a measly 320 miles at over $300 when we're paying $2 per kWh after you retards flood the roads with these things. I don't use 160 kWh in a month to power everything in my house. Not even close. Think about that. It will cost more energy for you to drive 320 miles than it costs for most people to run their entire homes for a month. Often by 2 or 3 times in non-A/C months.
And even at today's prices in states where the price is still reasonable, that's going to cost you over $20-$30 plus whatever your frequent down time waiting for the thing to charge up costs you in lost time.
Let's not even mention how crappy your cell phone batteries start behaving the older the phone gets. But you probably don't notice that since you upgrade to a new phone every year or two.

No. I don't.

Given the U.S. consumes about 4 petawatt hours of electricity per year, we’d need about 13,600,000 acres or 21,250 square miles of solar panels to meet the total electricity requirements of the United States for a year.

lol. freeenergy.com? You are a stupid asshole.
The average monthly residential usage of electricity per house in America: 893 kWh per month
https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=97&t=3
How many vehicles are driven in the US: 276 Million
https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/car/car-
80% of the energy stored in a Lightning (The most likely you'd fill it up to on the road): 160 kWh
How many miles you get out of an 80% charge on your Lightning (when it's brand new and the battery hasn't started degrading): 320 miles
How many kWh would it take to charge 276 Million Lightnings to 80% once: 44,160,000,000 kWh.
Average miles driven per car in the US annually: 14,263 miles
https://www.kbb.com/car-advice/average-miles-driven-per-year/
14,263 miles divided by 320 miles (80% charge on a Lightning) = 44.57 annual 80% charges
How many kWh would it take to charge 276 million Lightnings 44.57 times annually:
44,160,000,000 x 44.57 = 1,968,211,200,000 kWh or 1.97 Petawatt hours
RESIDENTIAL electricity use in America is only a fraction of the 4 Petawatt hours you claimed.
1.464 Petawatt hours, to be exact.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/560927/us-retail-electricity-consu
mption-by-sector/
So 1.97 Petawatt hours for cars + 1.464 Petawatt hours for current residental use = 3.434 Petawatt hours.
That's 235% what residential consumers in America currently consume in electricity.
But that's okay. I know that you know electricity is magical.

Quote:When a Trumptard uses the word "magical" it is a clear sign they think they know something they don't know. I will explain it to you: If you buy a $35,000 vehicle, there will be $3,500 invested in the energy infrastructure to power it. It could be refinery/pipelines/fuel trucks/gas stations. Or it could be solar cells/high voltage transmission/recharge stations. If gasoline becomes obsolete, the $3,500 of equipment for refineries, etc. is obsolete and destined for the scrape heap. You use the word "magical" because you don't want to think about scraping and rebuilding. You don't want to replace the obsolete equipment. I suspect you are a hoarder with a garage full of obsolete machinery. Trumptards really do cling to their stuff as precious as if their old stuff is their irreplaceable hand or their foot. It is probably why Trumptards cannot pick themselves up and move to better places when the old place goes into decline: see West Virginian out-of-work coal miners who all vote for Trump because he's gonna bring back the coal industry.

Quote:So when you pay $35,000 for an Electric Vehicle which cost $90,000 to make, then $9,000 per vehicle is needed for (but not spent on) the infrastructure for it?

I use the word Magical because YOU Democrat retards think that electricity is magic.
You dumb motherfuckers are going to be the ones who put all the out-of-work coal miners back to work to feed your addiciton.
And newsflash, the only reason they lost their jobs in the first place was because natural gas got cheaper. Since Biden* has been in office that isn't the case anymore. Even without your dumb shit "magical" cars the coal miners are going back to work since you won't allow nuclear power.

Jane Mann, a retired "science" teacher, said she was concerned the panels would prevent plants in the area from photosynthesizing, stopping them from growing. She also questioned the high number of cancer deaths in the area, saying no one could tell her solar panels didn't cause cancer.
6ix, it is unsurprising you and the Trumptards I know worry about gasoline prices. Trumptards don't have much money for gas but what they do have in abundance is invincible ignorance. There is an unbreakable connection between money problems and ignorance. Trumptards never understand the connection because they aren't ignorant, just poor, hardworking white trash.

Oh yeah?
I provided a lot of math above. You had no reply to that math. You did not understand that math.
EVs are a failed dream for reasons that your tiny little brain couldn't even comprehend.

Meanwhile, keep poorshaming 65% of Americans. I don't see how that's going to help your party's chances in November.

Maybe you should cut second some slack. I just saw on the news that second's small budget is greatly affected, because of the price increase of his tampons.
