You seem to think all pollution is fine so long as it improves the bottom line. What makes China better than Canada? Hmm? Are you daring to speak for the Chinese people? They have their own priorities which means the rapid increase of coal production. If you do not like it, try complaining to The Chairman.

The same is true for the Provincial (like state) governments, they always sign on or off in tandem with the feds. The politicians will probably cave on this and Ford will get to keep its subsidies to build fossil fuel cars. The days of EV politics are fading fast, especially in North America. LOL you think the provinces always agree with the Feds hahaha! The provinces fight the feds all the time, especially where I live (western Canada). Tell me more about how you know more about Canada than Canadians Mr arrogant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ford is going back to fossil fuels in the future. Ford is more concerned about the future and investor response. "Ford said the Canadian plant, which is expected to come online in 2026, will add capacity of roughly 100,000 units annually. “Super Duty is a vital tool for businesses and people around the world and, even with our Kentucky Truck Plant and Ohio Assembly Plant running flat out, we can't meet the demand,” Ford CEO Jim Farley said in a release. “This move benefits our customers and supercharges our Ford Pro commercial business.” Investors responded favorably to the news, sending Ford stock to a new 52-week high before shares leveled off later in the day amid a broader market decline."

Why not just state some opinions of your own? Two simple questions with simple answers. What forms of pollution would you support regulating? Why do you want to emulate China? Simple questions with easy answers. You can say all forms of pollution are okay, and China is doing better than the USA because they embrace toxic forms of energy. Toxic energy is good when you don't give a crap about the health of your people. Capitulation is a loss. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still dodging questions. Afraid of being identified by the Chinese or the USA as a traitor? Pick a side bud. Do you defend the USA, or China? You seem to praise the Chairman more than the POTUS...

Clearly a Chinese agent living in the USA or a Chinese resident spreading pro-China propaganda online and bad mouthing the current POTUS. Some here are more patriotic to the USA than that (but certainly not all). You did pick a good forum for your internet subterfuge, Oil Price has a history of knowingly hosting terrorists.

The FTC's investigation seeks to determine if these executives improperly coordinated with OPEC officials, potentially violating U.S. antitrust laws." "This investigation coincides with a U.S. Senate budget committee probe into alleged collusion between nearly 20 large oil and gas producers and OPEC. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, echoing the FTC's allegations against Sheffield, has claimed that industry executives have been working with OPEC to constrain production and drive up prices. The Senate has demanded that these companies, including BP, Shell, and ConocoPhillips, provide communications with OPEC officials dating back to January 2020." Tell that to GE and Westinghouse in the 1960's, when the "prices" of household toasters, to HV switchgear, were being concertedly manipulated at the highest levels of management. That didn't work out well for them... Edited July 20 by turbguy 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
specinho + 471 July 20 Holy grail of evolution: Evolution of energy: 1. Raw food 2. fire with stone, grass, sticks & wood 3. Steam, hydro 4. Fossil fuel 5. Nuclear 6. Solar, wind, wave 7. Back to 1 & 2 - developed countries went through it. Copied by developing countries. Followed by less developed countries. Evolution of mankind: 1. Intelligent but brainless schools of beings e.g.octopus. Trained to be controlled without realizing. 2. Beings with brain e.g. chimpanzees, primates. Exercise independent authority at the top. 3. Educated Advanced beings, Artificial intelligence and humanoid. Trained to be back to 1 & 2. - therefore.... We are either a) happily being controlled, or b) happily at the top...... we have reason to be smirk... Because we belonged..... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
