Continued settlement expansion in the western us isn’t a viable long term trend at current growth rates without substantial changes in lifestyle and expectations. The blithe answer to power is build more nuclear plants, but to do that requires how we build them.
back to gas prices, ~100 year us retail average price per gallon of standard gas is about $3.20 in current dollars, adjusted for inflation. Cheapest was ~$1.80 in 1998. It’s been above $4 several times including 2008 and 2012
Sweet...thanks for sharing.Quote:

Climate change? Globally, we produce more food than we ever have in history, and more than enough to feed the world. (In the US we produce so much food that we blend it into shitty gas LOL) It's getting the (unspoiled) food in the hands of the hungry is the hard part. and that involves.....you guessed it.....fuel.
https://www.actionagainsthunger.org/...cts-statistics
"Around the world, more than enough food is produced to feed the global population—but as many as 811 million people still go hungry.[4] After steadily declining for a decade, world hunger is on the rise, affecting 9.9 percent of people globally. From 2019 to 2020, the number of undernourished people grew by as many as 161 million, a crisis driven largely by conflict, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic."
811 Million people were going hungry BEFORE all the recent news about a potential global famine.
"Some of the developing world will suffer." That's a hell of an understatement.
It is probably different down thar but I'm pretty sure it would trigger tax implications up here if you did any personel milage ?Quote:

Our Governor is too. When it was pointed out Newsom was trying to give $400 per person the whiners said, “that’s only a couple tanks of gas”. When it was pointed out $400 represents all of the taxes on ~800 gallons of fuel, there were crickets.Quote:

So was Build a Wall official promise and policy for 4 years. How'd that end up? Anyway, Just heard a right wing radio host say that he didn't want the tax holiday because people would get angry when it was over. Grabbing at straws to throw shade.
Not a partisan issue....its reality.Quote:

Anyone think the prices on RV's and built out Sprinters is going to plummet if we have a year of this?

I saw something today that my eyes did not believe. A row of teslas at a high end mall in Phoenix, all plugged in, AC running, but no one in their cars.
We’re those fuckers just keeping their cars cool while they shopped? Anyone else seen such stupidity?

I saw them plugged in at the mall last winter with the heat running while it was snowing. I was a little jealous.
Where does all that free electricity come from?
I don't care.
What will go higher? Premium gas per gallon or mortgage APR?

The 2012 Tundra with the 5.7L hurts pretty bad right now.
Haaa...premium is already close to $7 in many locations. I don't see that for rates, but what do I know?Quote:

Or turning on the AC 10 minutes before I leave work in the Utah summer heat. It feels goddamn luxurious and yeah, I'm a bit smug when doing it.Quote:

This isn’t the place for math muted, this is the place for schizophrenic bitching that gas prices are too high while ignoring substantive reasons for that and solutions to that.
oh, and showing you’ve never lived in a place that gets fucking cold where vehicles are left idling unoccupied.
The 5.7L is one of Toyota's most reliable engine's ever made, but damn it is one very thirsty beast. I think that new V6 turbo might be a little more welcomed now with those additional 5 to 6 MPGs ? Lot of hate when that was announced initially.Quote:
