What if everything ran on gas?
Oh, I dunno. What if everyone wasn’t a FUCKING MORON?
Look, you idiots. Everything DOES run on gas, or some kind of fossil fuel, or some kind of nuclear fuel. End of question, period. Solar power is nuclear power, you morons, and wind power relies as much on the heat of the sun as anything. Do you think electricity is just made in those wall sockets? I’m amused that the gas engines are all dirty and leaking. God forbid we characterizer engines as being clean and efficient
UPDATE: Thanks to Ed Hering for reminding me a process he once explained to me, read about Abiogenic formation of fossil fuels. very interesting stuff there. Wonder why the greenies aren’t dumping millions into that like they’re doing wiht Gloebull Warmening? Oh, yeah, beause they can’t use Gold’s theories to make us all live in the fucking dark ages.

It’s the same morons have demolished the home repair industry by sending out EPA substance abuse seekers to peer into every project lest some lead dust escape into the environment.
How about all the heavy metals even worse than lead seeping from the huge increase in the use of batteries in this car or in the over-heavy Tesla (the electric version of my sportscar)? What happens when all the batteries from these “green” cars need to be disposed? They are out to kill us with the effluent of their liberal nonsense is the answer.
lead is easily recyclable, but lithium is toxic and can’t easily be recycled.
So when you’re on the side of the road, with lithium batteries that you have to pay to get rid of, and then have to pay to replace, and your pricey electric car is now a jersey wall.
…and because most of our electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels, there is little to no carbon savings anyway.
If you read the comments there, you’ll find people making claims like “the carbon footprint is 90% reduced!!!one!!11!” good lord, where do they come from?
Reminds me of getting rid of incandescent bulbs, whats the cheapest alternative… OH SHOOT BULBS WITH MERCURY(CFL’s) !!! Why didn’t we think about that one first??
The reason abiogenic hydrocarbon fuels don’t get more play is because they give the lie to — scorn quotes — “Peak Erl.”
‘Sides — and you know this — it ain’t about saving the environment. It’s about control, and reducing the number of humans on the planet.
I really wish they’d get off the dime and declare open season on these nutbags.

It’s even funnier because all of Nissan’s other cars are gasoline powered. Are we just supposed to forget that Nissan’s existing gasoline engines for cars don’t pollute anywhere near as much as those in the commercials?
Abiogenesis; yeah, I’ve given that a few mental spin cycles. I grew up in the oil patch, and knew some old-school petroleum geologists who had some differing opinions on it. Saturn’s moon Titan has lakes of liquid methane. There could be unicellular chemoautotrophs there, but I wouldn’t count on it. Pressure and temperature do marvelous things; realigning carbon matrices into such diverse structures as graphite and diamond, which can now be duplicated in the lab commercially and economically under much lower temperature and pressure than was ever imagined. It might not be that unique a proposition to do the same for fairly simple hydrocarbons in the near future.
There use to be an oil company that had a dinosaur as it’s logo (Sinclair?). Oops, I looked it up and they still do.
How many dinosaurs would have to die to give us our reserves?
“How many dinosaurs would have to die to give us our reserves?”
You’re talking about Senators, right?
I do have to say–
The idea that petroleum comes from the fossil process working on the bodies dinosaurs is incorrect.
The theory goes that both coal and oil come from the same source–Carboniferous-era forests–and that the geological processes that turned them into fossil fuels were different. If one thing happens you get coal; if another does, you get oil.
…somehow this magic happened almost exactly the same way all over the world, which is why we have such vast reserves of coal and oil.
I don’t buy it. Then again, I’m a proponent of Gold’s theory.
