All new US vehicles must be electric by 2030 to meet "climate goals".

edit: doing it this way will make you demand it too.


can i ask if u think climate change is real?

also, lets say it isnt, isnt the US being less dependent on shitholes in the middle east a good thing anyways?

The problem with this take is it's comparing revenues during the height of the pandemic when everything was on lockdown, with governments actually enforcing travel bans, not allowing you to leave your home aside for necessities versus a time when we're coming out of the lockdowns. Obviously revenue will rebound tremendously when your reference comparison point is one of very low demand.

A more appropriate comparison would be compare revenue from 2019 to now, then adjust for price inflation.

The problem is not corporate revenue, the problem is that capex has plummeted in the last 10 years because the western world has shunned hydrocarbons. You can't have it both ways, don't cry that oil companies aren't investing in drilling and exploring when simultaneously mainstream society has been forcing them into that position.

Only a simpleton can't see today is warmer than in the 70s and 80s.
I know, I was there.

The real question is, is it man made?
No, it isn't and never was.
The sun has cycles just like everything else.
It is simple on a warming trend.
Today is warmer because of it.

The only thing that stays the same is that everything is always changing. ;)
