Something about a solar panel and a windmill for every girl and boy?

let's raise the price of everything - to help the green lobbyists
bigbadbird • 10/05/22 11:13 AM ET
If we thought 8-9% inflation was bad. Watch out **
fordham • 10/05/22 11:14 AM ET
raising food prices and transportation of EVERYTHING- not well thought out
bigbadbird • 10/05/22 11:16 AM ET
And a cratering stock market
fordham • 10/05/22 11:21 AM ET
There were people on here applauding the 2 day respite.
Hokiehouse7 • 10/05/22 11:53 AM ET
With inflation, interest rates, corp profits getting
fordham • 10/05/22 12:01 PM ET
Most likely it will continue down for another two years, but...
EDGEMAN • 10/05/22 01:21 PM ET
Projections are that national average could exceed $5 again by winter
vt90 • 10/05/22 10:09 AM ET
that will help the military meet its goal of being carbon neutral
Vienna_Hokie • 10/05/22 12:51 PM ET
If only there were other ways of powering cars and providing energy. hmmm**
KfgsHokie • 10/05/22 10:53 AM ET
Sounds like a gubment official.
HokieGator • 10/05/22 02:26 PM ET
if only there was a supply chain that could support EVs beyond niche
Vienna_Hokie • 10/05/22 11:55 AM ET
…and if only we could increase our own oil production until we get there
chumley • 10/05/22 11:12 AM ET
Kewl. Plug all the vehicles in and watch the grid implode
fordham • 10/05/22 11:10 AM ET
I think the oil and gas industry could use more regulations!
EDGEMAN • 10/05/22 10:13 AM ET
It's hard to argue that regulation is the primary problem here
MAHokie69 • 10/05/22 10:45 AM ET
Well that plus oil and gas industry continue to post record profits
HokieForever • 10/05/22 11:17 PM ET
in a supply driven free market economy, US wells would be going full tilt
Vienna_Hokie • 10/05/22 12:54 PM ET
That's the secret half the Country doesn't know about ...
vt90 • 10/05/22 02:10 PM ET
We could be doing a lot more to increase our own supply
fordham • 10/05/22 11:13 AM ET
Maybe they could share some of their record profits from past 2 years.**
Stork • 10/05/22 10:22 AM ET
Will you share in their loss years?**
fordham • 10/05/22 12:11 PM ET
They literally never have them
MAHokie69 • 10/05/22 12:33 PM ET
BP just took a $25 billon hit
fordham • 10/05/22 02:02 PM ET
yeah, that's a paper loss. They're doing fine.
reestuart • 10/05/22 02:48 PM ET
Lol…..$6.70/gal here**
CrystalCoveHokie • 10/05/22 09:57 AM ET
In kali?**
fordham • 10/05/22 10:00 AM ET
Yep…..Here’s the closest station to me…..**
CrystalCoveHokie • 10/05/22 10:04 AM ET
They expect all of you to drive Teslas.**
EDGEMAN • 10/05/22 10:13 AM ET
It’s just the continuing effort to drive everyone
fordham • 10/05/22 12:10 PM ET
Fed bailout of course**
HokiesBill48 • 10/05/22 12:18 PM ET
Wonder how all the folks in FL driving Teslas fared last week and this week
vt90 • 10/05/22 10:23 AM ET
California has that covered. What's that new Beach Boys song... ◄
EDGEMAN • 10/05/22 10:29 AM ET
It's funny ...
vt90 • 10/05/22 10:31 AM ET
I can imagine a day when suburban household electricity is primarily solar.
Tafkam Hokie • 10/05/22 02:27 PM ET
Exactly. One decent size mfg facility uses as much energy as hundreds of
fordham • 10/05/22 02:48 PM ET
Maybe and I hope so. I want renewable energy to work and we need to get
vt90 • 10/05/22 02:30 PM ET
We're definitely not there yet, but solar has come a long way in just ten
Tafkam Hokie • 10/05/22 02:48 PM ET
Agree, especially on nuclear ...
vt90 • 10/05/22 02:52 PM ET
California doesn't care if it works as long as it's "green"**
EDGEMAN • 10/05/22 10:37 AM ET
I've seen California. It's not that green.
HokieJay • 10/05/22 10:58 AM ET
Well, they succeeded in turning paradise into a desert**
EDGEMAN • 10/05/22 11:01 AM ET
to be fair, it started as a desert
