The alternative to diesel and petrol doesn't have to produce zero pollution. It can produce substantially less pollution. It's a lot easier to scrub a handful of power plants than to scrub millions of tailpipes. Not to mention that if the USA still had electric light rail in this century, a lot of it would run on wind and solar.
Remind me again who burns hydrocarbons. Is it the oil industry or the industries customers?
Think back to 1940, just before the United States got dragged into World War II. Chevron and Phillips Petroleum were among the investors in an joint venture to put the electric streetcars of California out of business in favor of fossil-powered buses. Others included Firestone Tire and Mack Trucks.
Did she ever drive or ride in a car, or use public transportation?
"I wanted to use public transportation to avoid the pollution of using a personal car, but public transportation was made unavailable to me in part because of the actions of defendants." Compare defendant Chevron's role in the present case to the role of Chevron (then called Standard Oil of California) and Phillips Petroleum in the demise of streetcars in transit systems in California.
Because none of that stuff ever existed in Hollywood before conservatives starting crying about woke stuff, right?
Not to the extreme extent we're seeing these days...no.
Have you considered what you call "left" is more a reflection upon your biases and environment and limitations
I speak of "the left" as how the general political divide is in the US, since that is where I live and am a citizen of....
The massive tax cut going through the US Senate right now
What tax cut?
They are merely making permanent the current tax levels we have NOW...otherwise eveyrone's taxes are going to jump way up....
As for the rest of your rant...wow, you sounds like a nervous nelly, how are you able to sleep at night being so frighten the sky is falling and that climate change will send us to the Stone Age in the next year or so....
I'm still always confused at your worry about the US and how we conduct our business here, since you are not living here and not an American.....?
What makes you say that? How much PBS News Hour have you watched recently?
I tend to flip through all the news shows/channels I can on almost a daily basis....
I"ll admit tt's likely been a month or so, last time I tuned into the news programs on PBS, but I find they like NPR are usually quite leftist slanted much of the time.
Candidate A: hardworking successful and respected prosecutor, Senator, and Vice President. Exemplary record of promoting health care, voting rights, and reducing gun violence and crime. Full understanding and adherence to the rule of law. Well educated. Articulate as a court officer should be.
LOL...good one,always start out with a joke.
Oh man...especially good is that "articulate" part at the end there..hehehe.
Thanks for the morning laugh my friend....
PBS News Hour is pretty solid
Pretty solid left leaning for sure...
Yup. And as the brain reduces receptors to compensate for the increased dopamine levels you get an increased craving for more drug hits. So just like opiates, nicotine, amphetamines, and cocaine, people just keeping coming back again and again for their next Fox hit. It is essentially a drug addiction, just with a different delivery mechanism.
I guess no different than those fans of MSNBC and to some extent CNN, eh?
The trustworthy news media train derailed when Walter Cronkite left.
Uncle "Walt" had a good bit of bias back in his day too.....
Buying a patent by the government is merely invalidating that patent, something a government can do for free, theoretically.
That depends on the country's takings law. I'm more familiar with the United States Constitution, which provides: "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." Canada's Expropriation Act (fact sheet) likewise guarantees market value to the property owner.
His slogan should be "Everyone's listening!", because it's going to be FBI, CIA, IRS, DHS, DOT, FHA but also the ruzzians and Chinese and Hegseth's wife.
They are elected TO DO WHAT IS RIGHT.
Ok...to do what is RIGHT....with definition of "right" being the will of the voter.
The politicians are not there to be the arbiters of right or wrong...they are there to represent the will of the people, whatever that may be.
HOST SYSTEM RESPONDING, PROBABLY UP...
