This right here is why our nation is going to be strangled to death by the hands of rabid partisanism.
Because I don't think the way I'm expected too? That is one of the signs demonstrated by those hell bent on 'Think like I do or you're a RACIST'.
I wasn't aiming anything at you Ed, I only quoted part of your post.
The pic didn't come from Tucker. the reference to '...lifetimes...' did. Gump keyed on that. I was trying to point out the impracticality of green energy in its current state by showing the cost. They're being charged by coal-fired power plants and China and India are increasing their coal-based power generation as we sell off our strategic reserves to China to pay down debt. For those that don' know, Congress approved selling oil from the reserves to pay down debt. So instead of printing money and generating an IOU to say, Social Security, they sell our oil.
Read recently that china's building 3000 more coal plants lol, on top of the 6000 they already have?
Apologies and I hear you. I was listening to two people debate the 2 party system and one made reference to the 'wigs' and then the Tea Party. What I'm trying to understand is where things took a U-turn. The 2 party system has worked so well for so long, where and why did it go to hell?
What's funny, is I heard a liberal say something very similar about Conservatives.

So instead of printing money and generating an IOU to another government account (e.g. SS), they sell strategic reserves.
We've also never had a party call half the country deplorables, racists and semi-fascists. First time for everything, I guess? I get your point.
If you're going to make an argument about green energy being impractical (or about critical thinking, for that matter), at least do everyone a favor and come with real information to use as support.
California isn't going to ban older vehicles. If they were going to ban pre-emissions vehicles they would have done so a long time ago. And, there's no real advantage to banning a carbureted vehicle that gets 20 mpg over allowing fuel injected vehicles that get the same gas mileage to reduce carbon emissions. There's X amount of carbon in a gallon of gas. The only way to reduce it is through better fuel economy. As for the age of vehicles on the road, that is going to vary by location. In some parts of the country rust is the limiting factor. Over here parts availability is the limiting factor. I would guess that about a quarter of the cars here are over 20 years old. Maybe more. I still see mid-80s cars running around with peeling clearcoat.
Where have you been living. This country has been name calling since it's inception. They used to call the native people "Savages" because they didn't know the Language or have written history. Then they gave the Savages disease in blankets. But you're right, This country was great up until about 50 years ago, allegedly.
Ok, here you go. I even went out on a limb and used a 'friendly' information source from late 2021: Coal-fired power is on the rise in America for the first time since 2014 - CNN
If you're going to come to class, it helps to do the reading...
