Also, the idea that the scientific community profit motive in any way compares with fossil fuel industry's profit motive is laughable. Exactly. The petroleum producers have provided products that allowed for the greatest improvement of lifestyle and life expectancy in history. Without them, we’d still be walking on streets that smelled like horse manure. Look up anti-industrialization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were running a property insurance company operating in the Gulf Coast region would you jack your premium prices up? Why or why not? Would you continue insuring coastal properties barely above tide? Why or why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mspart Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 So I lost track, did any left wing moron cop to owning an EV on this forum? Or was the question not clear? Maybe its that no one wants to be identified as a left wing moron. For the record, I don't own an EV. If I went that direction, it would be a hybrid so I could easily get recharged quickly and continue my trip. mspart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
