USA back to oil and gas drilling!

I bet that Biden is opening up the Gulf to European oil companies, he is more into pleasing his European connections than our people here in America. Expect our gas and oil prices to continue going up in price.

You guys are so lucky to be paying what you are, in Germany we are paying 1.75€ a liter.

American job plan they intend to build 500,000 charging stations for electric cars. How out of the touch is this administration .

There are 10 charging stations near where live that are never used because they are in a part of town where there are no shops or stores for the people that would use them to shop while waiting for there cars to charge.
No one wants to set in their car doing nothing while waiting.
There is a 24 hour Dennis restaurant in a nearby town with a large parking lot that would be a much better place to put a charging station.
A friend just bought a EV truck and is building a propane generator skid to fit in the bed of the truck for long trips.
Short trips he charges with solar panels on the roof of his carport and longer trips he lights off the generator and charges on the road.
wattsupwiththat.com...

Good maybe Britain formerly known as the UK wants to buy some of it... maybe they want to go further and actually send some labor to learn the industry themselves.

Alternatives?

Walking, Bicycling, Motorbiking, Public/private transit...

Nothing wrong with oil in the wake of the toxic waste that batteries can be... natural gas as it is called can be produced from waste facilities... at least it is a toxic waste that can give or produce back, why not harvest more of it's potential?

How " Green " environmentally healthy is it to make and someday dispose of hundreds of million of electronic car batteries, there's a landfill " somewhere " asking ?

All depends on who is getting paid for it now. 10% for the big guy takes on a whole different meaning now.

How are the electricity prices in Germany? MSM claim if everywhere went greener with solar panels and wind power it would be cheaper for electricity?

0.29€/kWh

No that's not right, nuclear is the cheapest, renewables like PV need 2.5 years to harvest the energy needed to produce it.

You can roughly calculate 1000kWh/kWp. So a 300Wp module that costs around 80€ will bring 300kWh a year times 0.29€. Now it depends on how much you would pay or if you get any money providing power to the grid.

If we calculate with 0.29€/kWh that you would have to pay buying electricity, that means a single module (without the inverter and cables and installation) will financially ROI in about a year. With inverter calculated, it's a bit longer.

But you can count on panels being good for 20 years and inverter around 10 years. I know a lot of pv plants where the inverters are 15 year old and had no fault yet.

So where is all of the electricity coming from to power these charging stations?

the wind mill and solor panel maze of course, for the kids to play in while the parents are sipping their
"espresso" lol. it's really jeagermeister with a head.

lol, don't get me started on the exotic zoo animal park!

yeah sounds like a fun time.

it will take years to get back to where we were 2 yrs ago.

It was $1.79 per gallon when Trump left ... Enter Biden and the democrats and we're up close to $4 a gallon now. And this crap happens every time. It amazes me that there are people that still vote for them. And it isn't just the price of gas, it's everything; the cost of living these days is through the roof.

If charging stations were profitable, there would be several convenience store chains putting them up all over the place.

This is already in the works. You will start seeing more of them at the national fueling chains along with major retailers also joining in, JP Morgan has billions of dollars invested in the program along with ChargePoint. They stand to make a very significant amount of money on this due to also controlling the payment scheme and integrating that with manufacturers.

i really hate to say this, but the distrubited renewable energy system is vulnerable to emp's. they have been pushing electric everything. it seems the only cars running will be old, non-chipped beaters with gas and oil. this conspiracy stuff is too much for me.

this nuclear stuff is just too dirty and dangerous. it's a walking time bomb. i said years ago that kim jung's missiles and a war with n. korea was bull#, because the ptbś merely need to sabotage a nuclear reactor on the west coast to evacuate 1/3 of the US. when they want to do it they will.

All except Tesla's paid for with tax dollars instead of 'market demand'.

They will make money for that reason alone, unless you think a company can't turn a profit on free stuff.

What tax dollars? Tesla got a 465M loan in 2010 that they paid back with interest in 2013. 9 years early. If anything it's companies like Ford sucking off the government teet. They STILL have not paid back their 6 BILLION dollar government loan from 2009.
