>US crude oil reserves expected to run out in less than 48 days>Hormuz closed>bab el-mandeb strait now closed by Houthis, making China's demand destruction no longer effective So is it just a matter of time until ice vehicles are fucked from this? (And most other things that rely on gas but specifically cars since this is an auto board)
the solution is to kill every mexican in north america
The US is a net exporter of oil.The problem is that the military takes priority over you and me.
Trump holds all the cards, it'll all be fine, just trust the plan.
>>29030719Dividing our nation ideologically and making the rest of the world hate us, while going into more debt to build war toys?I’m not seeing it.The easiest way to win a war is to divide your enemy so they kill themselves. You don’t have to fire a shot.
>>29030707I drive EV but if oil runs dry we will have bigger problems than ICE cars. It will be complete anarchy. Electrification has failed. The world still runs on fossils. We never adapted for this scenario.
>>29030726Failure implies that it wasn't on purpose. We have had the tech to switch to nuclear for a long time now. Our reliance on oil was prolonged as long as possible, it would only be a matter of time until that would bite us in the ass, and unfortunately it's very soon
>>29030732Sure. We had a very powerful oil lobby that would use politicians and media outlet to fear monger solar panels, wind mills, hydro etc etc so they could keep drill deeper and deeper. American elections are decided on fracking policy. It's all fucked. We've had the means to convert our vital industries to electric using nuclear/renewables but chose to stay on the path of status quo. The status quo makes the fat cats richer.
>>29030739>American elections are decided on fracking policyThat’s how we get natural gas to make electricity to power EVs. I thought EVfags loved fracking (they pretend it doesn’t exist).
>>29030707Better get to making ethanol in your backyard
>>29030744P.S. I’m a huge supporter of nuclear for base load. But I’m not making the decisions, coal and natural gas are the realities.
>>29030744Fracking is retarded. You got brainwashed by an orange mentally tarded senile pedophile bud
>>29030745It’s illegal to distill ethanol. Even removing ethanol from gasoline is considered distilling ethanol the ATF doesn’t take kindly to that (actually they don’t care, it just makes you an easy target to prosecute).
>>29030747What? I never said I liked fracking. Most of my /o/ bans have been from shitting on Trump. I’ve always hated the guy. I’m just saying it’s reality, I didn’t choose it.
>>29030744Not an evfag but at least with evs, the ability to power it isn't necessarily dependent on oil, you could live in a city with zero reliance on fossil fuels and be able to power it just fine
>>29030739Also would have been great if our passenger rail/trolley systems weren't completely dismantled in the 60s. Rail is easy to electrify compared to cars
>>29030813shut the fuck up you busnigger
>>29030815What's wrong with having options?
>>29030824>>>/n/get the fuck out
>>29030744The price of wholesale natural gas has collapsed over the last few years due to solar and battery and wind.
>>29030934>price of wholesale natural gas has collapsed over the last few yearsYes, because production (including via fracking) has increased.If solar and wind (battery? lol, batteries just store energy made elsewhere) made such a big dent, you'd think they'd increase the price because fewer people were using it. The reality is that we've been fracking like mad cunts to get the natural gas that powers our electrical grid so we have so much available that it's dropped in price. And on a long-term scale, it's a normal and expected price you'd see in standard market fluctuations.
>>29030707Keep boosting, America
CNG chads keep winning
good thing i have a pentaGOD KINOstar that gets 30 mpg on e85 without gay v8 appliance cuck shit like cylinder deactivation and if i really really wanted to i could probably shove a ram e-torque unit in there to make it hybrid
>>29030945>CNGMight as well just let a power plant turn it into electricity. I hate EVs, but CNG is worse.Couldn't find a webm or gif under 4MB:https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/converted-mp4/2022/04/YT3.webm
>>29030939California has seen the biggest decline, so it's 100% solar and wind and battery related.
>>29030745Eh, something like diesel would be more practical in an oil shortage. Really wish diesel cars were a thing here outside of trucks though. A diesel hatch would be perfect.
>>29030959I' d rather exploit the high octane rating of CNG in an ICE. Best ratio of carbon to hydrogen in the alkane world
>>29031003Diesel is not exempt from the crisis. Only domestic made energy can save us in the end.
>>29031005that was a proposal of t. boone pickens. load up on wind and solar for electricity to free up natural gas for transportation.
Maybe this is a good thing. The shortage will be bad in every other aspect, but if no one can use cars Americans would be forced to walk, and everyone would be less fat
>>29030707we have much worse problems than that. china is starting to pretty much tariff all production moving in the other direction because Trump wouldn't play ball, and this includes the machinery needed to drillit turns out handing your entire industrial and energy production to a hostile foreign power has consequences
>>29031097Rich people already knew that, they simply don't care. The consequences won't effect them
>>29031069Gas is still cheaper in the US now than it has been in Europe for 20 years. It's $8-10 a US gallon there.
>>29031069Amerifats would rather die than walk. Wars are fought over the price of gas, precisely because mutts are unable to walk to the store for their corn syrup and tendies.
>>29031117>Amerifats would rather die than walk.SHALLNOTBEINFRINGED
>>29030827Goku would beat the prophet like, super easily. It'd be the men of al zutt 2.0
>>29031117Eurofags can't fathom how much larger USA is compared to their various small nations.>Just walk broOk, when was the last time you walked 30 miles to work?
>>29031119what does that have to do with israel being an illegitimate state?
>>29031121Amerimutts can't even walk to the store despite it being 3km (note the correct metric for distance) away because they built their whole infrastructure around every household having three cars and a truck.
>>29031003Diesel VWs are not that uncommon in the states>>29031121I would literally rather kms than commit to a 30 mile commute. 20 is pushing it
>>29031105You can't compare US gas prices to Europe's, they have a shitton of taxes on gas there and you can live without a car in Europe anyway. The fact of the matter is that gas are among the highest they've ever been, it's could be far worse but there's a bunch of factors preventing that right now
>>29030707>He didnt buy a plug in hybridLol
>>29030723The rest of the world has always hated us, they hate us while wanting to live here, funny how that works, they hate us while using our internet, our websites and our technology we invented, like you are doing right now
>>29031125Isreal has done more for the world than any Arab state besides maybe Saudi Arabia. It wasn't jews who made suicide bombings popular. Doesn't change that Muhammad got zutted (all night long the Quran says)>>29031127Giant place requires roads to get around, the sky is also blue btw incase you're too dumb to understand that.>>29031129Whittle baby too scared to make a wittle commute awwww
>>29031151bro nobody careskeep your jeet words off my board you cow piss chugging street shitting ganges bather
>>29031151>Whittle baby too scared to make a wittle commute awwwwI'm speaking from experience. Maybe I'd do it if I really loved the job before I moved closer, but I would much rather have the extra time to sleep/get ready
I love how Trumpers were jew haters just a few years ago but now, jews are the good guys and we need to give them our taxpayers' money!
>>29030827>implies public transport is isreali>meanwhile the old dodge logo looks like picrel
>>29031166jokes on you i never stopped hating jews>>29031167>predates the use of the star of david as a religious symbol by 20 yearsjews stole the dodge logo not the other way around
>>29031167>makes original logo the star of david>later changes logo to the head of a ramWhat did dodge mean by this?>>29031172The star of david has been a widely adopted Jewish symbol since the 19th century, which is a century before the existence of dodge
>>29031157Coinslot ox farming hands typed thisGo back to making my iPhone. Chigger>>29031167>Thinking Dodge brothers were jewsNgmi>>29031166Jew haters belong in the same place: the trash >>29031172Huge illiterate cope omegakek.>>29031178Dodge brothers were just more into faith than these skinwalking fakes who larp as Christians
>>29031178>The star of david has been a widely adopted Jewish symbol since the 19th century, wrongalso much like the swastika showing up in american indian and south american cultuures a pair of overlaid triangles appears as a common symbol in many cultures that have absolutely nothing to do with judaism.since the dodge brothers were well known to be protestants, and not jews, clearly the symbol used for their company is not, and never was, the star of david or anything related to it.jews trying to claim ownership of triangles is like nazis trying to claim they own the sun
>>29031193The star of David has been a symbol of Judaism since the 14th century you kraut sucking liar >dodge bros was protestantsYes, which is why they like jews because they knew most of their shit is alligned.
>>29031204>The star of David has been a symbol of Judaism since the 14th century you kraut sucking liarno it hasn't, it was just a kabbalistic stylistic flourish that allegedly appeared in "ancient texts" and fanciful illustrations of destroyed ancient temples until the mid 1900s when it was actually popularized as the symbol for the faith. it was literally irrelevant as a religious symbol when the dodges decided to make a car company.
>>29031166In the same way the left were calling everyone Nazis until a few years ago, and now they're all "gas the kikes race war now".I honest to God think it's a Jewish psyop to make antisemitism seem uncool lmao
>>29031214>it's a Jewish psyop to make antisemitism seem uncool lmaoyou could replace hitler with barney the dinosaur and it'd still be cooler to hate jews than to be one
>>29031214Jew hate is a psyop made to subvert a whites consequences. >It wasn't me the white man, it was actually that "white" man over there with the noseThe left is being corrupted like the right did and slowly falling into authoritarianism (Maga) / (Marxists) are 2 sides of the same authoritarian coin
>>29031141We have some countries that like us, such as Canada, Japan, but even they are having second thoughts with the actions of the current administration
>>29031214Most leftists aren't outright antisemites, they are usually 'anti-zionists'. It's not a psyop, Israel's weird relationship with the US is more apparent than ever. Even normies are waking up to it.
>>29031121>the us is like so LE BIG dude, le europoors cant le comprehendyeah because it was built around lazy mutts who didnt want to walk. there is nothing inherent about a large landmass that prevents actual infrastructure that isnt just long ass stretches of road from being built.
>>29031151>It wasn't jews who made suicide bombings popularIs Mossad not Israel? Because I've got news for you.....
>>29031151>we have literal kikes posting on this board
>>29031151Shalom, rabbi!
>>29030934Nigga what?That duck curve isnt reducing NG burning
>>29031097Tariff awayThe production needs to move backBut but but muh free tradeOnly works with countries that dont hate your or use slave labour
>>29031129Those diesel VW TDI are junk, my father has one deleted and its just a constant basket of problems.
>>29030715Yes but we're also one of the largest importers of oil because our crude quality is too light and sweet, great for making kerosene and gasoline but we need heavier crude for building road infrastructure and plastics production
>>29032216That litterally makes no sense.
>>29031010I mentioned diesel moreso because biodiesel is easier to make compared to ethanol. Though in a severe fuel shortage I'm not even sure if making biofuel for cars is worth it for most people. Might as well get a horse and leave the fuel for cooking and refrigeration.
>>29030745might also want to set up a rainwater collection system, quail farm, fertilizer pile, and look into how to make black powder from natural ingredients and get a black powder rifle.
