Included are come charts for your reality analysis comparison of 1977 to 2022...Shall we compare earnings too? I do not subscribe to believing hot topics such as global cooling. My BS detector was factory installed and it has been tested by Q (and wow...wtfe) as well as a lot of other BS and not believing that malarkey but believing science thank you. I know saving is not a common practice, to each his own. I'm not going to get into an argument here. I have battled others with data on this subject and it's not hard. I can cover this thread so long with data you will forget what's its about. In case you haven't heard, you can prove anything with statistics including what makes your argument and excluding want doesn't. I will defeat you and others on the niche argument you have carved out here. I don't have the will to anymore...futile and stupid. Save the planet, it's not like there is Earth 2.0 like Elon (weird MF) will have you believe. |

What my topic is about is the theoretical scarcity of gasoline (and diesel) that has been the meme of environmental politics since the 1970's, where we are going to "run out of fossil fuels because they are a finite resource". My purpose for using the price of gasoline in constant dollars is to point out that for 50 years since the finite-resource meme has been thrown at society and the pending doom of no carbon-based fuels will be left for us to use, the price of gasoline DOES NOT REFLECT that the sources of carbon fuels are scarce. Gasoline prices have remained constant, even have lowered, since the big scare of the 1970's and the pending doom of no fuel. The 1970's predictions of scarce fuel supplies was that carbon fuels may be non-existent by the mid-1980's to mid-1990's and certainly by 2020, as remember being warned in my childhood years. It just didn't pan out. Gas costs just the same now as in 1980. If "fossil" fuels are supposedly so scarce, gasoline would be 5 times the price it was in 1980 by the year 2022. The data show that it is not. And if you truly believe science, then you would understand the Earth's climate cycles due to numerous factors such as plate tectonics to the stabilization of the planet's rotation and orbit. Crude oil doesn't come from dinosaurs...

gas was $1 in 1992 and is $3.50 in 2022 (average so don't say anything about Commiefornia prices lol)
inflation from 92 to 02 would have put gas at $2 so gas has outpaced inflation. but, how much of that is due to taxes or other government intervention or higher profit margins rather than just the pure cost of gas being higher? it's not so cut and dry to use this as a comparison, imo. this is probably a better chart if you want to compare gas to inflation even though it's a little old you get the idea. The only other thing I wonder I guess is if the planet will save itself. From a capitalist viewpoint, something will always fill the void, so will the planet grow bigger trees (for example) because carbon dioxide levels raise in order to maintain homeostasis? Or will mother earth just let herself implode? I am sure the science isn't being done in a vacuum but humans, in fact all life, has survived the heating and cooling of the earth many many times. I'd be more worried about getting drilled by a big space rock, lol. If it weren't for those, we wouldn't even be here. Last edited by Higgs Boson; 01-17-2022 at 08:01 AM.. |

I wasn't picking a "spike year" on purpose; I picked it because I started driving in 1978, and I had not even looked at the data when I made that statement. Regardless, even your graphical data shows what my point is, that on average, gasoline pricing has stayed constant over 40+ years (even trending down from '32 to 2000), where one would expect it to trend up based on scarcity of the finite resource. And add on top the miles driven per year has drastically increased along with 14.3 cents of tax increase.

Nah. Not yet. I love the sound and that sweet smell of E-85 burning. Plus, I have a vehicle that can hang with the Tesla's. As of now😵*💫

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOX_fuel I also worked on centering Boronated Carbide (B4C) the buffer rod in a reactor that are in SNF dry storage containers in a few states where reactors are. B4C is only made in a few places and can only have a ppm of 0 for a reason. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cask_storage I also worked on the Stellarator project. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellarator There is so much the general population doesn't even know about that goes on in the government and elsewhere. Alot of nerdy reading, but I had to create a lot of it. Many people are trying to find ways to dispose of the past decisions and find new alternatives that are clean and non-impactful to the environment. I am in favor of preserving the environment in more ways than one. Some don't give a shit about it and it's evident here. Save the planet |

I don't think nissan is even going to play with the idea of a hybrid GTR. Everyone is transitioning and the great thing about what's going on, even though a lot are opposed to it, is that all the cars we love and know of today, will be insanely fast EV's. Trust me you guys want this. Especially if you're not a fan of tesla. Because they are running away with this technology and everyone is sitting on the sidelines. So i would hope you're rooting for your favorite car to become EV, it's the only way to compete in the future. |

I think an EV, for me at least, would be something good to own now, at least to daily. Something simple, very quick to get around traffic, merging on the highway, passing people etc. That's why i want one. It's crazy to think that how valuable, rare and desirable a corvette will be now. Back then people said they were everywhere. And if you talk about numbers, they are everywhere. The only thing is, owners don't take them out often. So technically they are rare lol. I say out of almost 2 decades of owning corvettes. Besides going to car meets to see other corvettes, i might have saw a total of 30 or so roaming the streets. That's 30 times in about 20 years. Seems rare to me LOL |

Not that I'm denying global warming, but plant warming up is one thing, global warming due to human contribution is whole different thing. What I'm saying is it's not just about Physics, if Physics proves it, then it mainly seems like a natural earth cycle, where earth heats up and cools down. Global warming due to human lifestyle is a different thing. Here in the US we consume, consume and consume, we don't fix things, we throw away and go buy new because we can afford it. Seems funny to me that we are fighting global warming with EVs instead of maybe changing our lifestyles? I'm not sure I'm ready to change though...
