Who is insisting that people making minimum wage should just buy a 50k electric car? I can see why the faux types would say that as it gets nutters wound up.

And you don't want the guv bureaucrats to come up with the solution, but is it ok they already stacked it in favor of the problematic side. One is ok to some people and the other isn't. That is why we are where we are. It's all about money and picking teams. Ironically, demand and therefore consumption and therefore prices and would be a lot lower if it weren't from the ff industry grip on politicians, particulary the nutters.

Pete Buttigieg, the transportation secretary, that's who. He said if you have a problem with paying $4.50 for a gallon of gas, the solution was to go buy an electric car. That's a stupid and elitist thing to say for many reasons, but that's what he said.

You can't BUY a $15,000 Corolla. Whether on minimum wage or not.

Most of us here are not minimum wage and can grumpily withstand $4/gal fuel more easily than new parents or those starting out.

We have two problems, immediate supply and pricing of fuels that is hampered by Biden Admin, and long term converting where applicable from fossil fuels to more safe power generation" Nuke, some NatGas, and renewables.

And it really means squat if we do all this work and China, India, and others do not. We are sure AF cleaner drilling for oil, extracting it, and processing it than just about anyone else.



And yes, the GUV bureaucrats can't outline a plan that will get us from where we are to where we need to be. If they did you would have seen some. Instead we'll have stupid unimplementable requirements like those in the Green New Deal. But sure, right wing talking points.

You keep ignoring the point, but I guess no one really is insisting people on minimum wage but a 50K electric car. If it isn't a right wing talking point, I don't know where you got it. They do keep spewing that nonsense.

The Biden gas price thing is also right wing b.s. Prior to Ukraine, we were producing domestic oil at levels in the range of or higher at times than 2016 to 2020. Opec cut production during the pandemic and never raised it once demand increased. Increased global demand coupled with limited global supply caused the squeeze. It is a lie or just ignorance to pin it on Biden and the pundits and nutters in office know it, but it helps them get elected.

Oh yeah, and nuclear is so expensive. Big part of why we don't build new plants to go along with people in power are put there by coal and oil industries.
