Eliminate the Oil Industry?

by Anony Mous in

a lot of countries are on the side of eliminating the oil industry altogether as well as zero-emission alternatives like nuclear power.. in the us, biden has promised to eliminate all federal lands oil production when he takes power in 2021 (30% of the united states) as well as native american tribal lands which account for 8 percent of all oil, 9 percent of all natural gas, and 6 percent of all natural gas liquids from 96,000 wells (10% of the total wells in the us).. in europe, oil and gas production has been largely eliminated except for the nordic countries and the uk (which the eu recently lost access to), germany is funding a major oil pipeline as is china from russia and russian-controlled portions of ukraine, even after trump cut off all builders from russian oil pipelines, the russian government is now trying to build the pipeline themselves with potential disastrous results.. venezuela's economy collapsed largely due to the government taking over and eliminating the oil industry companies.. in the mean time, control for most non-us energy sources is now wholly dependent on russian and middle eastern governments.. california and germany eliminated oil-based energy sources and now mandate 30% of their power from 'green' wind and solar alternatives.

germany energy costs now hover around 25c/kwh and california is not far behind with 16c/kwh both experiencing rolling blackouts in major cities and importing 60% of mostly coal and gas energy from their neighbors.. the world currently has 300 years worth of oil at the current rates of usage which have stagnated due to improved efficiencies.

co2 emissions in the us have dropped in the last 3 years for the first time in decades despite (or because) reduced oil and gas regulations.. do you think given the above facts, eliminating the oil industry is a good thing?

We can lower CO2 emissions and go greener in all manner of ways, but we can't 'eliminate the oil industry'.

Oil is used for so many products.

Humankind, particularly in the West, has made so much progress, although we certainly need to lower emissions and pollution levels.

The only way to eliminate the oil industry entirely and 'live in harmony with nature' would be to abandon all the progress we've made and go back to being hunter-gatherers.

Billions of people would die, but there'd be 'balance', lol.

Hunter Biden—Will He Affect The Election?

i think he’s done incredible damage to biden.

he must be in hiding in his dad’s basement too.

i think this is the october surprise people have been wondering about.

LoveUniHateExams

@Funky - are all 50 states being polled in the same way?

Is a random selection of people in each state being polled?

Are there ways a polling company might use to slant the results in favour of one candidate or the other?

And, of course, how do we explain the fact that Clinton was a strong poll favourite in 2016?

The polls are wrong because Trump voters are "afraid" to say they will vote for Trump when contacted anonymously over the phone by polling firms, even Republican-sponsored ones like Rasmussen....

But Trump voters are also so eager to tell everyone who they are voting for by putting Trump signs in their front yards

^^^ Ok, have you ever thought that pollsters conduct polls only in certain areas?

In other words, have you thought that polling companies ask certain people certain questions?

BTW, you know that your two points aren't actually mutually exclusive, right?

8 Year Old Can Decide If They Are Transgendered

by minimus in

so says joe biden.. anybody agree with this?

?.

LoveUniHateExams

Totally disagree with Biden.

I'm not sure if Biden himself means what he said - the trans lobby is powerful and can ruin people's careers and lives.

Trans people shouldn't have any access to transitioning medical procedures until they at least 16 years of age.

Being Removed From Facebook and Twitter

i have a very good friend who has been banned from facebook simply because he makes remarks positive about president trump and negative toward the democratic party.

he has tried to get back on facebook and it appears there is no way for him to return.

people are being removed from social media platforms simply because they have a different political view.

LoveUniHateExams

I hear ya, Min.

I've not been banned from FB outright, but I've had jokes and memes removed. They were harmless jokes laughing at trans and other issues.

One meme featured a photo of a trans-woman (the one who who went nuts in an American store and shouted 'IT IS MA'AM!!!'), captioned with the words 'Gilette - the best a ma'am can get'.

Another meme had the words 'always check your mirrors' and had a cartoon of a woman about to go down on a man in his car, with the man looking at his wing mirror and seeing that the 'woman' actually had male genitalia.

Both were removed because somebody (anonymously) complained. Ridiculous ...

If YOU Were In Charge of the COVID Virus Situation How Would You Handle Things At This Point?

as of october 2020, if you were governor or president how would you handle this pandemic?

?.

LoveUniHateExams

As of October 2020, if you were Governor or President how would you handle this pandemic?? - Simon is basically spot on in his comments.

Seeing as I am not Simon, I'm LUHE, I'll give you my thoughts ...

People who are vulnerable to the virus should be top priority - so, I'm talking about elderly people, people who have underlying health issues, people who have immunity problems, and people who are HIV+. These people need to isolate themselves and/or have special attention focused on them.

Everyone else should get on with life, and should be trusted to act sensibly. First off, no closure of schools. Second, no arbitrary wearing of face masks at all, no arbitrary 2 meter rule, etc. Enough of the nanny state - people should be trusted to act responsibly without Government sticking their noses into people's affairs. So, no rule of 6 people limit to family gatherings this xmas (yes, we Brits have these British politicians coming out with this crap!).
