    Yes, we know who’s pulling the puppet strings of both the economy and the propaganda on TV worldwide. A tiny group of people that want even more power over us surfs. How long are we going to allow them to manipulate us with “climate emergencies” and endless printing of money. Between the devaluation of the currency and the sabotage of our self sustaining energy potential it’s only a matter of time before people get smart and say enough is enough.

    You sure couldn't tell it on the Northeast extension today. I set my cruise on my Jeep at the speed limit (70 mph) and got 24.3 mpg,but every car on the road blew past me doing at least 80 plus..Even the big trucks. Gas here is $4.39 and Diesel is $5.29 but toward Philly,I seen $4.29 for gas and $5.50 diesel

    Up until last Sunday there was an Exxon station here in San Antonio that was selling diesel for $2.81/gal! Every time I filled up I called my brother to tell him to fill his truck and he got in the day before it went up to $4.99. It’s currently at $4.39 and dropping daily.

    Sounds like what my family in Alton IL does… 15 min to MO and gas is a whole lot cheaper.

    Usually the tax difference is about $.30 Between IL n MO. Not $.75 -$1.

    Maybe this whole electric/green powered car idea will fade away like slotcars did in the 70's...:)
    & return to fossil fuels.:D

    it is hard to stay away from the politics on this so you have to use logic to get to where we all want to be.
    The electric car is going to take just about as much from the environment as the fossil fuel does. It will take some sort of energy to produce these cars and what are you going to do with the batteries when they need to go to the dump.
    Everyone knows 10 years in the salt in the north will do plenty of damage to what is under the car.

    Fire, how you going to put that out when it turns into a inferno on the highway with your normal 10 car and 2 truck pileup.
    This oil isn't going to last forever so eventually there will be some other mode of transportation and I don't think it will be an electric car, there is going to be too much pollution coming from this that you will not see as you do by burning gas.

    I was already told by a good source that Saudi oil is already on the downslide from their max production, in other words they are running out.

    What is going to happen when all the oil is pumped out of the ground and burned up, There will be a big hole in the earth and what is going to go in there to fill that hole up?
    I got an idea?? ding ding The world will implode on itself from all the oil taken out of the ground, see, now you got something else to worry about.!! lollollol
