I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the concept that there is growing segment of US citizens that believe we are trending in the right direction as it relates to education...immigration issues..social programs..and the intrusion of government in seemingly every segment of our day to day lives...and these include highly educated individuals...

For what its worth, Obama pointed out the danger of being dependent on Russian energy and pushed Europe to find other sources (like the US) back in 2014. But I understand what you're trying to say.

with the current geopolitical situation, Europe doesn't even know if they can heat their houses this winter. let alone charge battery cars,, Yeah, those cold hard facts again.

Yep, just as ridiculous as California encouraging and mandating electric vehicles, but telling their folks not to charge them due to electric issues. Other major metropolitan areas will suffer the same fate unless major grid improvements are made.

Seems to me I recall Trump pausing some of the CAFE standards, and Biden turning them back on???

Am I not remembering that correctly?

Believe Trump extended/delayed some pending EPA deadlines.

Not only reenacting them but enhancing them.

Well I guess some of these ass hats hear it enough they start to drink the Kool Aid. They need to use their head for more than a hat rack as my papa used to say.

I apologize to everyone who's input I haven't read...I'm sure it good reading and go back thru it when I have time.


I've been burning kerosene like water the last week sitting copilot on a G650...

It makes me want to piss on all my property corners being an alpha...
But again I'm glad I used the Luddite definition of what we have to fight against..

I read one reply where the poster used noise to transmit the feeling of power..

Way back when I was young in New England some of my family and neighbors used water power to power what was needed..

Two separate experiences are in my memory..

One is my best friends grandfather...who had property in Northeast CT granted by the King of England...on the 1700's had a seasonal lumber mill...it basically ran in the Spring with winter extra runoff or fall with the extra rains... he and I milled enough lumber to build both our houses...


But that aside...it was the power of water dropping twenty feet to the doubleTurbine wheels that made us gearheads...with that double horizontal Turbine running a 54 inch saw...with wood chips in our eyes..it was pure heaven...


And then one of his uncles added a 1932 Studebaker engine to power it during times of low water taught us how to keep antique stuff running...we could purchase a water pump for 30 years..but a garden hose with gravity feed in the top of the radiator worked..until its last days..

Then in the 1980s I got involved with the receprecating sawmill at old sturbridge

https://www.osv.org/building/sawmill/

I donated many hours redesigning the mill with my old Alameda Worcester Polytechnic Institute.

It was a eye opener as far as the old timers designed things.

So now I'm a ICE guy..but have worked with water power and steam...I'll clue you all in there on my local train engine traction engines...

I've seen alot of changes...

And if Mr Travaros wants to give me a EV Banshee to test out..I'm game..

For you thoughts one of my friends has a down Turbine electrical generating station on the Quinebaug River in Putnam, CT. He laughs all the way to the bank every year with over $100K profit on waterpower feeding back to Eversource.

 

[Blown7]

And does nothing...
