The Moronic Stupidity of "Getting Off Foreign Oil"

I am so sick of hearing non-stop moronic stupidity regarding energy. As you can see the US uses only a small portion of our total oil consumption in producing electricity. Wind turbines are a ridiculous way to produce commercial electricity and even if they worked they wouldn't reduce our oil needs because we don't use very much oil to produce electricity. And, much of the oil is used during our peak hours of need during the summer, when you can be certain the wind does not blow.

Let's use a little bit of Common Sense. If you are green, you should stop reading right here, because Common Sense does not work in your tiny, little minds.

Residential heating oil makes up only a small percentage of oil use, but can anyone come up with a better idea to heat my house? I am not familiar with geothermal to consider it, but I presume geothermal is only viable for new home construction, not happening lately, and likely geothermal is another green energy that is only built because of lavish tax breaks. A lavish tax break means that we will place the burden of paying for it on our children and grandchildren while we sit back and grin because we are using expensive, green energy without paying for it now.

Let's get to the point. Most of our oil is used to drive our cars and trucks! Now how about a little simple logic. What do we expect to replace our traditional vehicle. Oh, let me guess, the electric car. YOU ******** FOOL!!!!!!!!

Here is a nice list of electric cars that were available last year. No one has "killed" the electric car. There are dozens of these toys for you to choose from. Click here.

The article starts with the words, "It’s official: Green car madness has taken over." And to that I can surely agree! What you will find is that these cars resemble a golf or go-kart more than the vehicle you currently drive. They are likely as expensive or more expensive and instead of having a limit of about 300 miles typical of a gasoline powered vehicle they are limited to much less.

Oh terrors, I admit I drive a gasoline powered vehicle, I am sooo ASHAMED.

These vehicle are in general much smaller, slower and with a limited range. They are DANGEROUS in an accident. They might be just fine for driving around town as a second car, but they will suffice as a first and only car for only a very, very small segment of our population. Seriously, not that many people would be so stupid, because you can buy a high MPH Toyota Prius, Honda Insight or Ford Fusion for absolutely less than $25,000 and get more than 40 mph. My neighbor bought a Toyota for $13,000 that gets 40 mph. It is roomy and comfortable inside. Of course, inexpensive and green are never uttered in the same sentence, because where would they make the profit, or shall I say, how would they FLEECE you!

So instead, you purchase an electric car as your second car, so you can have that big green smile while you go for a loaf of bread. You created a green job. Green jobs simply mean it is a dumb way of doing things so it takes more people to do it. Somehow there is a saving there? DUH?

Any typical American regularly uses his vehicle to drive more than 150 miles in a day. Only a fool would buy an electric car when they know they can't drive more than one hour away from home.

Here is the real kicker. It's a cold early December day across most of the US. It is snowing right now along the coast of Southern California. Some would probably say this is climate change and the "weird weather" means something must be done, HERE IS MY MONEY SAVE ME. A very simple law of chemistry. What happens to your cell phone battery or any battery during cold weather? Simply, they don't work, or work for a very short period of time. The same thing happens with an electric car battery, their performance is decreased. So now instead of having a range of 100 miles your range is likely to be much lower. How can you possibly consider taking your electric car to the mall, shopping for 2 hours while it sits in 20F weather, and then driving home. What if you get stuck in traffic? Then if you are one of those MORONIC greens, (let's start calling them who they are, they want to ruin our country) who live in Southern California, can you imagine the electric cars stalling out on the freeway stuck in an unexpected traffic jam.

Seriously and sadly, electric cars will only be only of limited use for special applications. They will NEVER EVER IN THE NEAR FUTURE replace the traditional gasoline powered, (oh my I said it again) vehicle.

Could someone tell ME why I'm a moron why I don't understand how we are going to get off foreign oil? Please help me. You FOOL GREENS get a $7500 TAX CREDIT (again, let me kids pay for your foolishness) to buy your toy cars and I still almost never, ever see an electric car while driving around here in Pennsylvania. Like only a FOOL would consider a wind turbine supply the electric needs of a city, only a fool would consider purchasing an electric car as their only vehicle. Just like I only have one vehicle. We have 5 in our family and each has their own vehicle because all of us take longer trips regularly. The GREEN FOOLS think I should have 10 cars in my family with >$30,000 just so we can drive around on sunny days, going for ice cream with a big green smile on our faces!

Of course the laptop I am writing on only works for about 30 minutes without the plug anymore. I was at a business meeting Saturday and I didn't see any electric cars in the hotel parking lot, but I can tell you, everyone had their laptops plugged in after about the first hour!

The battery I have now is worn out like all my laptop batteries are after six-nine months or so. Now I know the new ones have many more hours of life(I'm hopeful), but sorry for being a skeptic, I wonder how long they will hold that long charge. I will believe it when I see it.

Excuse me for being a ranting skeptic, but what other plan do you have for getting off foreign oil but making my kids owe some foreign country for our Group Think folly? I pay me debts and don't buy things I know I can't afford in the near future.

Of course those of you who are praying for success at Dopenhagen right now. What you are praying for without even knowing it, is hoping that the Dopenhagen Dopes make your gasoline so expensive that your gasoline powered car that you drive everyday, everywhere, will be so expensive to do so that you will have no choice but to have the Government buy one for you, tax break or credit otherwise not even a fool would buy one!, so that instead of buying foreign oil you can have foreign debt that will go on forever and ever. Sort of like being a poor person and racking up a huge credit card bill that you will never repay.
