@jamesdouma You missed that California produces and refines a significant percentage of its oil usage. When converting to EV, you reduce the need for gasoline. Each gallon of gasoline requires more electricity to extract, transport, and refine, than an EV will use to drive the same distance.

@paintingbymegan What does the "woke movement" have to do with critical thinking?

[Topher Belknap @Green_Fret]

@chelliepingree You do realize that your job is to stop him, right? Don't complain to us, fix it.

@elonmusk Can you remember back to when you used to care about helping people?

[Topher Belknap @Green_Fret]

@elonmusk Right, wouldn't want all those other countries to have people rich enough to afford our products.

[Topher Belknap @Green_Fret]

@elonmusk But he doesn't seem to want to care for them or teach them.

@SenSanders So will the people of Gaza go back to the conditions that prompted the conflict in the first place?

@chelliepingree So how many times has it happened since, while you were in Congress?

[Topher Belknap @Green_Fret]

@FreshairIan @Everyth1ngElec Same way that surveys adjust for skewed attitudes of people receiving massive oil subsidies.

[Topher Belknap @Green_Fret]

@AdamShame3 @Everyth1ngElec I think my used, cheap car (EV) is the best car I have ever owned. Same sized screen as the previous car, no Spotify (whatever that is). It is blue and small.

[Topher Belknap @Green_Fret]

@NunThewyser @Everyth1ngElec Why not? Works for me.

[Topher Belknap @Green_Fret]

@tohonestycom @Everyth1ngElec Exactly when was anyone presented with governmental force to buy an EV? Any country, any time.

Yeah, that's what I thought. You think EV subsidies are force, but you don't consider any of the oil subsidies that way.

@BernieSanders Which is essentially just a symbolic gesture. How about instead, proposing lots of amendments which reduce the worst of the pork?

[Topher Belknap @Green_Fret]

@SenWarren How is it that our legislators allow people to conspire to hide illegal acts with an NDA?

[Topher Belknap @Green_Fret]

@SenSanders You could just change the laws for corporations, and make the primary responsibility of corporations to improve the public good, rather than being obligated to produce profits for shareholders. Fix all these issues at once, rather than piecemeal.

@live_munro @teardowntitan Why would WE get a vote? Sandy gets 1 vote. His wife gets 3. Done.
