Ok but CAN we subsidize electric cars so that they're more affordable than their gas alternatives though?
3 ups, 2y,

No. Any subsidy is paid by taxpayers. Adding inn layers of government overhead makes it more expensive in the long run to the taxpayer

Leaving us with only a reduction in oil demand and prices to show for it. Terrible.
4 ups, 2y,

The reduction in oil demand will be offset by the increase in demand on the electrical grid. You know, the electrical grid that, in some areas, can't meet the existing demand let alone an increased demand and that, in most areas, are powered by fossil fuels.

Where's the win there?

Nuclear/wind/solar/hydro can make plenty of electric. We will never eliminate oil for use in many areas including fuel. But we can reduce our dependence on it, which will reduce our need to import oil. Keep the dollars here in the USA.

Only when
A: you allow nuclear plants to be built and operated
B: the wind blows
C: the sun shines
D: build enough damns to spin the turbines that power the generators.
Guy, we were energy independent up until 12:00 noon Eastern Time 20JAN2021.
You don’t give a rip for the USA, you only care about YOU.

Guy we were never energy independent- we can’t possibly produce the oil we use. And we are the number 1 oil producer in the world. That was just another lie trump told his rubes.

You’ve been here (imgflip) since 2018 and you say that you have “ no idea who they are”.
You, sir, madam, he/she/they, are a liar.

I have been here since 2015 actually under various names and I have seen "Stan Halen's" (assuming that is the Stan you mentioned?) name but have never engaged with them. I am not on here nearly as much as some people.

I've always been "all of the above". My point, which you touched on slightly, is that neither the grid itself (regardless of what's powering it) nor all the renewables that we currently (see what I did there) have can meet the demand if every car and truck in the country suddenly switched to electric overnight. Why so much resistance (see what I did there again)? Watts the problem (see what I did there once again)?
2 ups, 2y
Who said we are going to switch every car and truck overnight? Lol that’s silly.

You got me dead to rights, I'll admit it.

There's a $1,000 reward for users that expose other's alts. Submit here imgflip.com/m/imgflip make sure to ask specifically for the reward, not too many people know about it and if you don't ask for it they won't give it to you.

How basic do you want me to go? Do you know what supply and demand is?
1 up, 2y
Yes, to your original comment about subsidies, if we give subsidies for people to buy electric vehicles that will increase demand while supply stays the same (or decreases) which means prices will only go up.

It's not

No

We subsidize the fossil fuel industry. Gas cars are over 100 years old. If they still need subsidies the electric vehicle can be subsidized for 100 years or so as well.

Hmmm...I thought the purpose of buying electric buggies is to stop "climate change" and take us off oil???

Not my purpose. I drive one because I spend less than 1/10 I would on gas. It’s great.

Well, good for you.
Never mind that 66-80% of the people can’t afford one.
Never mind that the stated “goal” is to reduce “carbon footprints” and “save the environment” and “reduce our dependency on oil”.
Just as long you spend less on gas, everything is *tickety boo.

EVs are priced at $20k and up. If you can afford a car you can afford an EV.

Who stated those “goals?” Lol - don’t want one don’t buy one.

So no actual quotes by these people stating the goals of EVs being what you said?

So weird how much people hate a type of car. Like hating on diesels. Lol electric is a fuel with multiple sources. Gas and diesel has one source: oil. Don’t want a diesel? Don’t buy one. Don’t want an EV? Don’t buy one.

I never said I hated the ev.
It isn’t practical yet for most people as they can’t go far enough charging stations.
Most of the components to make the car are made in foreign countries, including China.
Where do you live? Because where I live, there aren’t any charging stations.
Not everyone lives in NYC, SF, or LA
