Or thermal depolymerization.... the tech has been around for years to make
oil irrelevant, but tech that threatens the 12 billion a quarter profits of
oil companies isn't going to move forward as long as we have oil men in the
white house gaming the energy futures trading markets..
Electric cars are completely viable, they just represent a huge loss in
profit to auto makers who get half their profit on auto sales from after
market matainance. Electric cars require a fraction of the upkeep and
replacement parts, that a combustion engine requires. No auto makers it
going to willingly undercut their own profits. They'll keep selling gas
guzzling crap, as long as lame asses need a big hummers to compensate for
their tiny inferior penises.
When profit is the only motivation, what's good for the environment or what
is good for people and the country is irrelevant. They will do only what
makes the most money. They'll slap a viable electric system in with an old
shitty combustion system, call it a hybrid. When in fact it is just a shity
combustion engine ruining an otherwise fine electric system.
It takes the people to stand up and use their government to say no more....
the people's power and the people's giovernment is our only check on the
powers of unrestrained predatory capitolism. We the people make the rules,
not them.
You watch in a few years when gas prices are so high, that the big us auto
makers are going out of business AGAIN, and begging for government bailouts
AGAIN,... and some upstart Japanese or other auto maker puts out an
affordable electric car.... it will be 1977 all over again. US auto
companies crashing and burning, tens of thousands of lost American jobs, and
a foreign company raking in huge profits from American dollars.

Makes no sense.... if all the jobs are moving to Mexico, why then are
Mexicans still coming here for the jobs.
Can't really argue that both are happening.... at least not logically.
The people who are fucking you over are using your xenophobia against you so
you blame the wrong people for the problems.

Again, blame the brown people, that will solve all the problems, right?
It couldn't possibly be the healthcare for profit industry that's jacking up
the prices so pharm company ceo's can make hundreds of millions of dollars.
Nope, it's that brown person with a cut forehead in the emergency room.
Just get rid of the brown people and the ceos are sure to stop holding
profit margins as their primary goal.
