#1 Remember according to the LSD run Biden Admin.
The Climate (Ice-Age, Warming or Change) goal, was to eliminate all fossil fuels and vehicles by 2030, which is now pushed out to 2050.

This would effectively trash over 279m ++ personal and commercial owned vehicles registered in the U.S.

Given even Eco-friendly Eco-Mandated California had the highest rate of EV ownership in the USA, which was ONLY 1.61% of all registered vehicles in the state as of 2021.

Sounds like a massive $100 Billion retool of the Auto Industry, in a severely inflated and depressed economy would be needed to switch to ONLY EV's.

So what will the UAW be building 279 Million replacement vehicles from and with?

And/Or will Government step in, and "regulate /control travel and slowly implement restrictions?

#2 In 1966 only a few years (possibly 18-20) "the world's supply of crude oil will have been exhausted."

#3 Amazing how that RUN OUT number never seems to happen isn't it?

#4 Hasn't run out but it does get more expensive unless a step change, like fracking, occurs. Of course, that assumes an incompetent or malevolent government doesn't unbalance supply and demand even further.

I'm not against EVs. I just don't think the battery, materials, energy tech nor domestic supply chain is ready for wide adoption.

#5 It’s almost like the Biden Administration is not pro-labor.

#6 Read somewhere where oil is the result of a geological process (not 'dead dinosaurs') and the earth generates more oil than we consume.

#9 Interesting presentation from Wikipedia (#8), which reminds me - just how much methane hydrate is on the ocean floor, and how many electric cars could that power?

The rank and file that votes kneejerk democrat isn't pro-labor either. They just don't realize it.
