Let’s hope Finland doesn’t flood since there are reports of electric cars in Florida involved in the hurricane flooding that have exploded.

Will never happen in your nor your children's lifetime...

Don't know where you got your info on Finland, but their extreme cold weather is a nightmare for EVs... And they have no laws "requiring that 100% of new cars be electric in a few years"...

There is consideration for eliminating domestic oil exports and only allowing natural gas exports to Europe for their winter. Good luck on that; America first may not sit well with corporate goals.

Not a friendly gesture to the United States and so close to the elections. Hummm.

1. It has an immediate impact of driving down prices for gasoline
2. The US doesn't give away the soil you know… They sell it on the open market at current prices. Then at a later date.....when the prices go down they will replenish the reserves at the lower value. The US government made 100's of millions of dollars off of this sale.:BigApplause:

"many people are saying"


Whether it applies in this particular case or not, it never ceases to amaze me how effective overall that statement has been...when certain people use it on their blind followers. Truly astounding - actually.

meanwhile Mexico is full of oil ! Mexico is one of the largest oil producers in the world (1.9 million barrels produced daily in 2021), and the fourth-largest in the Americas after the United States, Canada, and Brazil

This what they get when everything is controlled by the govt. & not by vote or the people. It’s called something, I don’t dare say!
