Don?t even talk about car batteries, we are disposing smart phones at such a quick rate too. I?m not even sure if there is a process to dispose that in a eco-friendly way.USCTrojanCPA said:morekaos said:Oil companies have little to no incentive to help an admiration that has made it a public policy to kill their industry. They make twice the profits pumping the same amount of oil they did 6 months ago. Taxing unused leases is stupid and shows a total lack of understanding how the lease and drill market works. One million barrels a day does little to impact prices. Brandon wants to drain the reserves anyway in order to drive up future prices and try to kill the oil industry in a vein attempt to bolster the electric market...it won't work and will only make the pain worse. Only a call to reduce regulation and unleash drilling will flood the market with cheaper oil and bring down prices. Basic econ 101. The markets know this but will have to wait out till after the midterms
The sad part is that cars only use a faction of the oil. The majority of the oil is used by manufacturers for chemicals, clothes, anything that has plastic in it, and jet fuel. Last time I checked planes are not going electric anytime soon. Even if 50% of all cars are EV we will still be very dependent on oil for everything else.
Yeah Lithium batteries are no so fun to make and deal with when they are used up. Also, I'd like to know if some of the big environmentalists would be willing to stop buying all their newer tech gadgets to help the economy. My guess is that most all wouldn't be willing to do that. I also think that hybrid cars and making combustion engines more efficient is the way to go.
