Look at you, a big Obama supporter all of the sudden!

The market is being manipulated with tax breaks for the oil industry. We’d be much further along the electric car transition if the playing field was level.

The entire oil industry is heavily subsidized by the taxpayer. Absent those subsidies gasoline would cost more. The market for electric vehicles would be larger with higher gasoline prices. Where are you getting lost?

I guess I don't understand why you start drinking so early in the morning.

i'm paying approximately 50 cents a gallon in taxes on every gallon of gas I buy. eliminate the subsidies and and taxes and lets have this talk again.

by the way you completely dodged the tax breaks for solar and electric cars. was that intentional?

The first oil subsidies started in 1916. If you’re for free markets you’d be against those subsidies.

I’m more against Saudi oil cartels, but that’s an interesting tidbit.

Last I read about 18 states have put a registration surcharge on hybrids and electric cars to offset the taxes they'd lose from lower gas sales. And California was considering a mileage tax.

They were propping up a staring industry back then, when companies like Exxon can turn $10 billion in profit in a quarter they don’t need the help. If we eliminate much of the domestic demand for gasoline we produce plenty of petroleum for our own uses and wouldn’t need to worry about the Middle East.

Soon they’ll be taxing you for your CO2 pollution caused by breathing.

Sweden is known for being a minimal-waste country. What percentage of Sweden's garbage ends up in the landfill?

The correct answer is: 1%! Sweden has even purchased waste from other countries to turn into energy. Way to go, Sweden!

in 30 years there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.

this is an efficient system and totally sustainable

capitalism works.:

 

[rickyb]

these capitalists are doing planned obsolescence to get us to buy more products. quality is down, parts are harder to come by. a few companies make all the brands, so theres only the illusion of competition.

terribly inefficient, polluting system.
