Allow THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE TO FLOW - that would allow for
800M barrels a day to flow; while we are losing 650M a day
that we [used to] buy from Russo.
Allow oil DRILLING ON FEDERAL LAND; allow our U.S. oilmen
TO DIG ANYWHERE THEY CAN across this nation!
Do you not have any idea why those projects you are touting were
canceled or blocked?

Joe Biden has stopped all import of Russian oil. I drive 1,000+ miles
per week, and in a [stupid] extra large SUV none-the-less. As Joe Biden explained to me, today, that we were doing this to put a devastating
blow on the Russian invasion of Ukraine - that we would feel the
results at the pump and that it would get worse over the next days,
weeks and year.
At the end of this he told me that while this would hurt, I need to "Do
my part.". Do my f**king part.

USA is a net exporter of energy.

I also support it but, when it comes to vehicles, the tech is expensive and not as reliable.
I suspect that he is doing the part he was elected for... forcing us off of fossil fuels before there is a viable, affordable alternative.
Forcing us to it before it is affordable will make it automatically obsolete, as it will travel.
Joe Biden, DO YOUR PART.

DON'T BEG IRAN DICTATORS that will end up creating more Putin's,
solidify your weakness and fund MORE nukes!
DO sit down with Mexico, Canada and create a plan for NORTH AMERICA.

I'm seeing ads right now on TV for a full-size electric Chevy Silverado that can travel up to 400 miles on a single charge. It's not a concept vehicle; they are selling them right now.

The first-generation electric Silverados are expected to be in the $105K range, a bit hefty I'll admit. However, that's for a limited-edition, all-bells-and-whistles model. Once production ramps up, the prices are expected to drop due to both increased production and making more stripped-down models available. The basic "Work Truck" electric model (apparently they already have a name for it) is expected to come in at $39.9K. The basic gasoline models start at $29.3K, although Crew Cab models start at $35.6K and the bells-and-whistles-laden Silverado High Country starts at $53.9K.

All out of my price range, including the gas model. If I cannot afford them, the person who is making less than I am and really needs their car to get to their job is going to be SOL in the situation I described.

This is the reality that the Lefties consistently ignore.
Lefties live in a warm state - therefore they think that electric cars will work well everywhere - ignoring that batteries don't work well when it's really cold out.
Lefties live in urban areas, usually with plenty of mass transit - therefore they think that everyone has that so no one "needs" a car.
They ignore the fact that the vast majority of the country isn't urban.
Electric cars have been out since the 1800's. If you ever get a chance, go to the Henry Ford in Dearborn, MI. In the summer, they will have
some of the old cars out and running, including some electric ones.
And here's the interesting thing: those 1800's electric cars run on
modern lead/acid batteries. Battery technology has **not** progressed very far in 200 years.

Actually, most of them run on lithium-ion batteries. Hydrogen cell technologie still is a niche and some keep claiming it already has/will fail. I don't think so, but currently it is insignificant.

Ouch. I'll not quote the rest of all the garbage you parroted from a nearby MAGA news outlet of yours, but rest assured that this entire crap will be forwarded to the R20 sysops, in the unlikely case they missed
it, before they tell me how they want me how to vote in the FTSC
election.
BTW, FYI, in English proper, it's "cell technology" not -ie.
However, if you'd like, I would be happy to discuss this in private. I
am not in R20, nor even Z2, though...
Oh, and don't expect anyone to believe that you've never made a typo. If you're guilty of this, why would you pick on someone for the same thing?

Interesting. Because I'm considering buying one of the $39.9K ones, if/when they get to that price, and I'm not rich by any means. Better off than some, definitely, but definitely not in the $400K/year and up range threatened by Biden's tax hikes. I think as more people start buying electric vehicles, the prices will go down. I think they've cracked the reliability problem, though.

Maybe you are more willing to go into debt to prove a point?

Well, as I've said many times now, over here in R20 we cherish our freedom of speech (how else can you spot the idiots?) so obviously our sysop echo (R20_ADMIN) is open to everyone interested, no matter from where your input is made.
Of course I make errors. A lots and lots of them. But I'm sure not
many typos though. But I expected more from a native speaker than from someone like me with English as my third language (after German and Swedish). But I *did* mention it as a BTW didn't I? Just as an FYI in
case it was a systematic error.

I visited the Studebaker and Auburn-Cord-Dusenburg museums the Summer
of 2019. They had a few of them also. I don't know if they were in running condition or not.
If you are ever in Northern Indiana, and like cars, I would strongly suggest them both. I could have spent all day at the A-C-D museum.

But if I were to buy a gasoline-powered Silverado to replace my aging F150, I would be going into debt to... not prove a point?

Sadly, I'll probably never get there. But I'll probably get to the Gilmore Ca
Museum again. They have a great collection of Auburn, Cord, Dusenberg (and much, much more). Some of them are running around the grounds (depdending).
It's truely amazing how good the engineering was for cars even back then.

Where is the Gilmore museum?
Where is the Gilmore museum?
Hickory Corners, MI. A little northwest of Battle Creek.
It's literally in the middle of nowhere. Someone had bought an old farm and turned it into a car museum.
There are some really big buildings for the cars, but they also did things lik
build era-correct gas station, car dealerships, a diner, and office buildings.
Their Lincoln building has actual pieces of the original Lincoln building.
interference witNot so ironic if they believe that government
market partially lead to the issue at hand.
Have they any proof of this?
here, rigThat people *believe* that? I think we've seen that voiced
Without evidence, yes.
Erm....wouldn't the people voicing their belief be *precisely* evidence of that belief?
Ohhh. Took me a second to get what you were saying. But...that happens a lot
in religion, too.
People often act based on beliefs despite any evidence either for or against
said beliefs.
That's the difference between "I believe" and "I know", isn't it?
