Hydrogen could easily replace oil, it's renewable and the bi-product of hydrogen being burned is water.
Just saying your title is absolute bull squat. Oil will be replaced, by what who knows but oil is a dinosaur

It's possible we may switch to alternative energy- when the infrastructure and technology for it is in place. This won't occur for at least another fifty years. Right now we are petroleum based economy. Biden is destroying that economic base and it's killing our economy and skyrocketing inflation. Brandon thinks that by doing this, all the clean energy sources will just magically fall in place. It don't work like that. They're really pushing electric cars right now, something that the majority of people can't afford and don't want for the simple reason they're just not too practical. Hopefully the midterms will bring a correction and Republicans will be able to mtigate some of the damage caused by this braindead administration

Yes there is. Electric cars are in the very immediate future. That and cutting down on other fossil fuels, and increasing solar, wind, and geothermal may be all we've got, but it has to be done. There are all kinds of problems in transitioning to another energy system, but if we want to see a habitable planet for our grandchildren, and their grandchildren the sacrifice must be made, and made now.

Really? I was thinking we have some of the stupidest people in the world

Oil is replaced very easily...as it's use is reduced by somewhere around 27 million gallons a day every time the average MPG statistics are changed by a mile per gallon

Raising the price of gas inversely affects the oil companies, yes they make more per gallon, but at a certain point they drive people to buy hybrid or electric cars and that affects their production when a hundred thousand cars using a fraction of the gas lowers the demand to where they have to cut back production.

It also drives the auto industry to get the gas mileage they can if they want to...I had an Audi A8 full sized luxury car with a 340hp engine that got 32mpg on a trip to Los Angeles, up hills and everything figuring the whole trip there and back. The auto industry can make cars and trucks that get way better gas mileage, and it's your kind of attitude and ignorance that keeps the industries doing what they are doing.

By the way, trump rolling back already passed mileage standards to older levels even when the auto manufacturers had no problem with them was the stupidest thing any president has ever done, aside from other stupider things trump did such as poorly conceived trade wars, tariffs, and a dozen other Darwin category blunders.

It is a gradual process that steps and goals have to be hit to get to that place, subsidies that are for oil need to be shifted toward alternatives. Put the billions going toward the oil industry towards alternatives and it would happen very quickly, instead we have republicans defending oil and fighting the conversion, which involves government support like the oil industry has always received.

woodguru

That right there is a lie. You can't be embarrassed, and supporting trump proves that, because if you could feel shame you would be shamed.

The whole right wing thing is such a morass of embarrassingly stupid ideas that people who repeat them prove they have no shame every time they try to talk about something.

That lack of shame shuts up any discussion because people are embarrassed for those speaking it, not to mention that any intelligent response makes them look like fools.

Thanks for reminding me wind. The other reason electric car won't work with the current technology- they're bad for the environment. The mining of the rare metals which will destroy the land and what we can't produce we will be bought from China. When these batteries and wind vanes die, they can't be recycled and will fill up landfills. Like I said, other alternatives will come but we just aren't ready yet. Meantime it makes no sense to destroy our economy. You know Putin and xii aren't going to. I'm not going to respond to your inevitable retort...arguing with a liberal is a little like shoving aturd back into it's exit hole. Cheers!

I can’t wait to see what a water tire looks like, or maybe a fan belt or perhaps the insulation on wires, hopefully hydrogen doesn’t cause the seas to rise, them poor polar bears can’t swim you know.

There are many places in this country where solar and wind simply WILL NOT WORK.

yup.helluva lube, that hydrogen??? you dont know squat

No one that is all for electric vehicles has been able to tell me what we are supposed to use for farming equipment or heavy machinery. Farmers use large diesel equipment during planting and harvest that run sometimes 24 hrs a day. I’m waiting to see what happens in California when the gas engine ban goes full force. “We are the breadbasket of America! We supply all this food!” Not when there isn’t the equipment and infrastructure to plant, harvest and get it to markets or distribution centers. Most of the people I hear that are the loudest for electric vehicles have no idea how farming and product transport works.

No idea how much of anything works..

River Reb Loc: MS Delta

They have no idea about anything except where Walmart is.
