So Norway and the USA. Two countries so similar in their needs for energy it almost takes your breath away. It is like looking at twins. Can the USA provide for the needs of 330 plus million Americans by doing what works for Norway? Is there really such a thing as a one size fits all shoe? Some folks here want to lead us to believe that is true.

I see you Pimp!!

You install your plug in station for your electric car yet? I'm guessing it will only cost you 5 to 10 grand for a certified and licensed electrician to do that for you. We gots plenty of fossil fuel inside the planet to fuel the internal combustion engine for a very long time. Enjoy your tofu burger tonight while you plug in your chevy volt and monitor the output from your solar panels. How come poor folks can't drive chevy volts too. I mean everybody has a right to drive an electric car..

You old Deuce and a Quarter! Keep pimpin’ baby!!

Yo bro... I'll be pimpin gas until you folks take it away.

You don't like the free market?

"GM is on its way to an all-electric future, with a commitment to 30 new global electric vehicles by 2025. We are aggressively going after every aspect of what it takes to put everyone in an EV because we need millions of EVs on the road to make a meaningful impact toward building a zero-emissions future. GM is positioned to design, engineer, and produce EVs for every style and price point, and we are rapidly building a competitive advantage in batteries, software, vehicle integration, manufacturing and customer experience."

This is how America industry becomes a Leader.

To be fair it's like BP and Exxon transitioning to only solar, wind, and nuke production 40 years from now and saying they were the good guys from day one. GM's got a lot to answer for

Do the chicoms care? Their still building coal fired plants like they are going out of style. They don't give a flying fig about saving the planet. Like a bunch of other developing nation's they require cheap power to keep their industries moving along. Maybe CU you could take a trip to China and help educate them on the errors of their way
? Let is know, if they don't throw your ass in a re-education camp for western subversive types, just how many hearts and minds you win over. It also allows you the perfect opportunity to hone your skills at the art of persuading other countries that don't see the world your way. What could possibly go wrong for you?

Any of our FLP friends here can put on their big boy pants and go over to China and tell the leaders of that nation where the bull chit the buckwheat. They have no fear about lecturing all of us dumbass Americans what we should be doing to satisfy their environmental wet dreams. They are to chicken chit to actually confront the nation's that don't give a flying fig about saving the planet. They will wag their judgemental fingers at them under the protection of living in a free (somewhat free) country. Then they can move on to telling all the subservient lemmings in their country what they should do. Because they are sooooo much smarter than they are. They read Doonsberry last Sunday and Gary Trudeau made them as smart as they could possibly be.

You gotta appreciate how the Chicoms bullchit the environmental frootloops. You tell them one thing while doing the exact opposite. The Chicoms are helping build COAL POWERED PLANTS in Turkey, Pakistan, Vietnam, Indonesia, Bangladesh and the Philippines to name a few. These countries don't give a flying flip about saving the planet. They are more concerned about moving their countries out of third world status and providing for their people who have suffered in poverty for many decades. When you don't have electricity to light your house what the flying fig do you care about driving gas powered or electric cars? You FLP folks need to take a massive collective road trip and go educate these folks in destitute countries what is really important to you. You need your Prius way more than they need electricity in their village... GOT IT!!

Glad you agree that Trump and FauXI worked so closely with China...you walked in to that one. Only difference, Trump was blowing smoke up Xi's ass for deals, FauXi on the other hand....helped set up camp in the Wuhan clan.

It's funny, but for context, everything is having trouble:

Millions of Texans without power as ERCOT declares highest level of energy emergency, outages could last for hours

Most of those that went offline were natural gas, coal, or nuclear facilities that shut down. Combined, it in total took more than 30,000 megawatts from the grid.

Blackouts spread beyond Texas as frigid weather knocks out power plants

Ercot had announced “rotating outages” at 1:25am local time on Monday after the cold weather froze wellheads and interrupted supply to natural gas-fired power plants, and some wind turbines became encased in ice, curtailing electricity output.

But by later in the day, a second group of generators — the majority of them thermal plants fuelled by gas, coal or nuclear energy — had also malfunctioned in the cold, said Dan Woodfin, Ercot’s senior director of system operations.

[...]



The cold spell is proving a particular test for Texas’s freewheeling electricity model. Generators are paid only for the energy that they sell, not for keeping capacity in reserve for times of stress. Electricity retailers compete fiercely for customer business, unlike utility monopolies that operate in some other states, and can adjust prices according to market conditions.

[...]


The Texas oil industry is also being disrupted by the winter freeze. The 630,000 barrel-a-day Port Arthur refinery — the country’s largest — was shut down until it was safe to resume operations, owner Motiva Enterprises said.
