Pure BS the real debt includes payments due for interest GDP goes up faster than the debt and you get a government that is more able to pay back what it owes ....so simple Now you do understand how the Fed monitized 7 trillion dollars in debt and the fed collects the interest from the Treasury and any profit that the Fed makes is given back to the Treasury....and now you know how the government gets more money debt free......unlike a family Oh and the Dollar stronger than ever...you really need to pay more attention Interesting points, unfortunately you are wrong on the conclusions as they affect the average working family or person.

The government no longer counts all the factors it has in the past. The dollar is worth less than ever. We have to pay interest on the national debt. If big spenders like Trump and Biden do not make government leaner we will have a major recession. GDP is inflated just as everything else is. The government is not any different than a family, it cannot spend more than it takes in and remain solvent forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7AvsIXR88Q The TRUE Inflation Rate is EXPLODING (CPI 17.3%) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with most of your points but think that natural gas may end up being the cleanest fuel considering all factors, at least for several more decades. Nuclear is possibly the cleanest but too expensive and very scary to the populace and it takes a long time to build the plants. The builds are also notorious for over budget fiascos. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EV's have been described as "Craze", "Fad", "White elephant", "just climate panic" Nope they're a reality like it or not, the world is transitioning quicker than many believed possible. The EV transition is not economically feasible and would result in a massive deterioration in the average standard of living. With better climate science emerging, the foolish panic over climate change will recede, and that will remove the wasteful government trend towards promoting EVs. This article shows the economic insanity of government promotion of the green climate agenda (which should be renamed the "Brown" climate agenda, with CO2 being targeted). https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Let-the-Market-Decide-Exxons-Response-To-European-Energy-Policies.html "According to Darren Woods, Europe's policies are overly prescriptive, picking energy transition winners and losers instead of allowing the market to identify the most cost-effective emissions-reducing solutions. Woods argues that these policies, which penalize companies, are counterproductive, driving capital out of Europe and merely shifting oil and gas production elsewhere. He asserts that government subsidies cannot sustain businesses forever and emphasizes that a market needs to develop that is capable of reducing or removing emissions at scale in a cost-effective manner."

I have been saying this for 15 years. Electricity is produced by fossil fuel worldwide. Wind turbines and solar produce a very mall percentage and it would take decades to change that.

Federal regulation allows for the issuance of take permits for marine life so long as the permitted number of incidental deaths has a minimal effect on the longer-term viability of the species. The construction process for the turbines necessitates underwater blasts of noise which “are louder than a jet engine at 25 yards” of distance, New England Fishermen Stewardship Association (NEFSA) President Jerry Leeman told the Daily Caller News Foundation. A large offshore wind farm development project is underway off the Massachusetts coast after the project’s developer received 20 “take” permits for the endangered right whale from environmental bureaucrats and regulators. Vineyard Wind began offshore construction of the 62- wind turbine project Thursday, according to WBUR. This summer’s construction of the offshore wind farm some 15 miles off the coast of Martha’s Vineyard legally permit the company to incidentally kill up to 20 critically endangered right whales, according to the Federal Register entry for the project. The site of the development is within waters identified as “[representing] an increasingly important habitat for the declining right whale population,” according to a 2022 study led by researchers from the New England Aquarium (NEA). The researchers “found a significant, increasing trend in right whale abundance off Martha’s Vineyard,” according to a July 2022 summary of the study on the NEA’s website. Federal regulators from the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued take permits to Vineyard Wind in June 2021, which include the endangered right whale in their scope, according to the Federal Register entry for the project. Take permits allow for the “incidental, but not intentional, taking of small numbers of marine mammals by U.S. citizens who engage in a specified activity (other than commercial fishing) within a specified geographical region,” according to section 1361 of Title 16 of the United States Code. Regulators grant take permits for incidental killings of marine life when the NMFS finds that the deaths “will have a negligible impact on the species,” according to the project’s Federal Register entry. The take permits allow for Vineyard Wind to incidentally kill dozens of whales protected by the Endangered Species Act, including up to 20 critically endangered right whales, during the construction process, according to the Federal Register entry. NOAA noted that it calculated the quantity of allowable right whale take permits for the development project in order to be “conservative,” according to the Federal Register entry. “Even one human-caused mortality puts the species at risk of extinction,” Dr. Jessica Redfern of the Anderson Cabot Center for Ocean Life testified at a Tuesday House Natural Resources Committee hearing on commercial threats to the right whale population.

Here’s why (thread) :https://t.co/QGDbT7uQyr pic.twitter.com/Uq8giKiZ13 — NE Fishermen Stewardship Assoc. (@fishstewardship) June 9, 2023 “The North Atlantic right whale is one of the world’s most endangered species of large whale,” according to a February 2023 memorandum from the Marine Mammal Commission (MMC). NOAA estimates that fewer than 350 right whales remain, according to its website. “Between 2003 and 2018, in cases where a cause of death could be determined, every juvenile and adult right whale death was attributable to human activities,” according to the MMC memorandum. “While NOAA has handed out these takings, it is denying” and “ignoring” the “direct correlation” between offshore wind development and the increased numbers of right whales washing up dead on beaches since approximately 2016, Steve Milloy, senior E&E legal fellow and former Trump EPA Transition team member, told the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF). Milloy’s “hypothesis” is that the extreme noise disturbances generated by underwater surveying disorient the right whales which are then more likely to strike a vessel and sustain serious injuries which often result in death for the animal. The construction process for the turbines necessitates underwater blasts of noise for surveying which “are louder than a jet engine at 25 yards” of distance, New England Fishermen Stewardship Association (NEFSA) president Jerry Leeman told the DCNF. “If you look at any area that’s being industrially developed, there are always wildlife and environmental impacts,” Leeman said. “The uptick in vessel surveys for offshore wind development is right at the same time as the uptick in the beaching of these mammals,” he added. (RELATED: Biden Admin Pumps More Money Into Offshore Wind Turbines Despite Mounting Whale Deaths) The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management claims that it “requires strict protective measures for when the offshore wind industry conducts activities offshore” in order to “ensure that whales are protected from offshore wind leasing and development activities,” according to a February 2023 fact sheet.

If you see an opening in traffic ahead of you as you start from scratch, second gear makes that spot YOURS! And that's only using ONE tire! Pardon me, i'm not sure about the detail of a car design. But from a bicycle and a dismantled- reassembled toy car that one pulls it back, releases and it will speed forward, climb small slope, fly through one bump, sink in water and all..... The general movement of a bicycle is guided by the back tyre. When one pedals, the chain linked to the pedals will move the back tyre first and then the front, bringing total movement of a bike. That could be the reason the starting resistance is high. The total weight is near the back. The fly-wheel toy car showed plates with teeth that linking the coil and the back tyres. Pulling the car back by dragging the back wheels on the floor would tighten the coil. Release of car, tighten coil will rebounce to turn loose into original shape. This movement drives back tyres to move. The front tyres are pushed to move along... Hence, suggested modification of EV is to reduce friction generated resistance to move. Lubricant might be one of the keys besides shifting focal or fulcrum point? ( I do not remember the term, pardon me. I barely passed... and started late..) and modification of design. Your input intends to highlight redistribution of tork, especially in hybrid EV? Not so much of lubricant? '-' Edited June 13, 2023 by specinho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even EV's and Hybrid's require it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
