It’s just a dumb conclusion. We’ll never produce enough, and OPEC will always hold the puppet strings. We ALWAYS will be dependent on foreign oil prices. It’s a worldwide commodity. Period. We don’t set the price, ever.

And yet under Trump's energy policies we were the world's No. 1 producer of energy and costs were low. Meanwhile, under Dark Brandon we're dependent on OPEC and suffer rising prices.

Seems like a conclusion based on facts and not outdated headlines to me. Not so much for your side of the discussion.

And the risk of electrocution is much higher. Especially if it rains or the sprinklers turn on while they're working.

But hey, the boss has worker's comp insurance. Right? That $25k work comp insurance settlement will fix everything for the survivors.

That could be a concern except that the battery packs are typically 56 volts.

You can safely touch 56 volt battery terminals with a bare hand. In my extensive experience with many battery technologies I can’t feel anything by touching DC power until > 70v, even then it’s more of a tingle than a shock until around ~ 80vdc.

Article is from December 2023.

It's now April 2024 and the Strategic Reserve is EMPTY and cannot be used to artificially prop up oil production to meet demand any longer.

Which is why prices at the pump are once again at their all time high. Just like they were before Biden opened the spigot at the Strategic Reserve.


OTOH, if Biden would allow new leases and the Keystone pipeline to go forward again, we might see a reduction in gas prices as more oil becomes available.

You know, just like what was going on under Trump's Presidency. When we weren't dependent on the middle east for our energy needs.

The US is the world’s biggest oil producer and has been for several years. We’re winning!

The trouble is we’re also the world’s biggest consumer.

The U.S. has been the world's biggest oil producer since 2018 and continued its dominance in 2022 by producing close to 18 million barrels per day (B/D). This accounted for nearly one-fifth of the world's oil supply.Sep 23, 2023

Ohm's law has already proved HisArpy an idiot again....*chuckles*

I went to school with a guy who could touch and hold on 220 V.

Yeah? There have been some people who can inexplicably safely handle higher voltages.

Do not try this at home.

Nope, we zapped him with a Megger, but he couldn't hold on to get the reading....

Someone doesn't understand that VOLTS alone won't kill you. AMPS however are sneaky fucks. They hang around with electrons, which are free radicals and untrustworthy as all hell.

Dam, it takes a special kind person to fuck himself in public with his own words but you did it spectacularly well.

 

[MajorRewrite]

You guys have got to stop telling HisArpy facts. He hates facts!

When faced with facts, HisArpy doubles down on stupidity.

So......how much diesel fuel do you have to burn to be green?

I'm sorry, I decided to not participate in totally stupid today so you're going to have to wait for me to reply.

But you’ve made stupid comments throughout this thread. Why not make a few more?

Stop being so lazy.

Just wait. I'll get back to you.

Yeah? Prove me wrong.

What data can you find by a credible source that says the US is not the country that produces the most oil?

You don’t have a clue about using electricity do you?


This is a 40.8 kWh lithium battery bank:







BTW, this is part of an off grid solar power system that is used to charge up to 180 miles/day for Tesla EVs while the sun is shining and still has enough for powering a home at night.

What? Is this going to be another thread along the lines of Carbon Based water. Electrons are not "free radicals". Oh just to be clear, this is the only chance you get at trying to claim you are "punking us". Bring it up again and I'll hold it to you just like I hold the Carbon based water to you...Carbon Water Boy.

HisArpy knows as much about Amps, as he does about Coulombs.

Just like he thinks 60 volts DC hertz.

Uhmmm, KANSAS has nothing to do with anything.

"The United States federal excise tax on gasoline is 18.4 cents per gallon and 24.4 cents per gallon for diesel fuel."
Wiki

(That doesn't include state taxes.)

Question. What is the kW to gallon conversion? What is the kW equivalent of one gallon when it comes to a vehicle? How much should each kW be taxed? How do we convert our diesels and trains to electricity?

Think of the battery load in kG's on our road and rails. Batteries ain't light in this respect. Especially not compared to a gallon of gas and, again, patiently, we can equip gas vehicles with all sorts of carbon-capture technology, but how do we dispose of the used-up rare-earth batteries?

The altruist Utopian thinker rarely digs this deep for their materials (puns intended).

at 30 MpG for an ICE car, the average EV would require 10 KWh of energy to go the same distance, or about a $1.10 in some markets.

 

[MajorRewrite]

HisArpy is actually right about the danger of amps vs volts.

Amps vs. Volts: The Dangers of Electrical Shock

Shocking, right? Get it? Shocking. I crack me up.

But he’s wrong about oil production and supply.

This was ALWAYS going to devolve to Derpy going full Carbon Water.



Derpy should stick to defending jaywalkers pro bono.
