I’m always eager for more stories about stranded electric vehicle owners who miscalculated a trip, or found that their batteries were only 50% effective in sub-freezing temps.
No thanks. Imagine a world where libtards control nothing but their own actions.

There would be a lot more horses...donkeys...cape buffalo.
‘I lie awake, staring out at the bleakness of Megadon.
City and sky become one, merging into a single plane, a vast sea of unbroken grey. The Twin Moons, just two pale orbs as they trace their way across the steely sky
. I used to think I had a pretty good life here,
Just plugging into my machine for the day, then watching Templevision or reading a Temple Paper in the evening.
‘My friend Jon always said it was nicer here than under the atmospheric domes of the Outer Planets. We have had peace since 2062, when the surviving planets were banded together under The Red Star of the Solar Federation.
The less fortunate gave us a few new moons.
I believed what I was told.
I thought it was a good life, I thought I was happy.
Then I found something that changed it all...’
And the meek shall inherit the earth...
...’The massive grey walls of the Temples rise from the heart of every Federation city.
I have always been awed by them, to think that every single facet of every life is regulated and directed from within!
Our books, our music, our work and play are all looked after by the benevolent wisdom of the priests...’
We’ve taken care of everything
The words you read, the songs you sing
The pictures that give pleasure to your eyes
It’s one for all and all for one
We work together, common sons
Never need to wonder how or why
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our walls
Look around at this world we’ve made
Equality our stock in trade
Come and join the Brotherhood of Man
Oh, what a nice, contented world
Let the banners be unfurled
Hold the Red Star proudly high in hand
We are the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx
Our great computers fill the hallowed halls
We are the Priests, of the Temples of Syrinx
All the gifts of life are held within our walls

You mean Imagine 1850?
The closest I can imagine to a world without the combustion engine would be living like a lost tribe of headhunters in the jungles of South America.
Imagine A World Where The Internal Combustion Engine Didn’t Exist

Imagine living in the 1700s or any age earlier.
We would have been unable to fight WWII and every war thereafter.

WE don’t have to imagine that. We have several thousand years of history without one.
Not hard to imagine. Read about the Revolutionary War.
“virtually limitless reserves of petroleum he knew to be abundant in his nation and many others around the world.”
At least argue from a point of truth. It makes our side look foolish when you don’t and throw hyperbole. As a near 20 year oil industry veteran as a petroleum geologist ,exploration geologist, operations geologist,hydrogeologist and certified PG, long standing member of Tau Sigma,SEG,AAPG,DGS,and the USGS. There is at most 48 years of liquid light hydrocarbons left at under $300 in 2024 dollars.that number assumes 2021 levels of consumption. When not if Asia, India and Africa middle classes demand energy consumption levels of Western standards that number drops very quickly.
Do not confuse climate commies with very real issue of resource depletion on a vastly over populated planet. Humans have burnt to the sky three hundred million years of fossil sunshine accumulations in just under 200 years there is not two hundred years left at any price with 8 billion people let alone the 10 billion that is expected in the next 40 years. Humans need to move post haste to long term resource management and also to an equitable distribution of the resources or world wars will be fought. China can field a 100 million man Army same for India in conventional battles with boots on the ground the West can’t win it they will be eforced to use nukes. This is exactly why China is massively expanding its nuclear program they intend to fight and win a nuclear war by shear population numbers alone they could loose 750 million and still be a breeding population of 600+ million. Nuclear war kills 300 million in North America that’s the end of any North American nation.
