Simply check your tire pressure, you’ll be fine.
the author is right. There were a lot of central station generating units powered by oil in the 50s through early 70s, but they all got converted to gas or coal or retired. Many of these were fired with the “bottoms” or Bunker C fuel oil, essentially a waste from refineries. That was typically a very high sulfur content viscous material that polluted heavily. So, between emission controls and using oil for more premium uses than generating power, oil combustion for power generation essentially ended. I personally worked on many “repowering” projects to convert furnaces from firing oil to other fuels.
I still believe the technology is out there to build an engine not using gas/oil. For cryin’ out loud, for over 100 years, as one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world, we’ve been producing machinery/engines dependent upon a commodity that comes from countries ruled by despots who don’t like us. In fact these islamic countries would gleefully cheer our demise, but need us to buy their one main commodity to keep them in a quality of life they’ve grown accustomed to.
In DC, Alternative Energy=Arab Oil
Pray for America
The big lie is not what you think it is.
Nearly all agree on this goal for America; "reduce America's dependence on foreign oil".
The big lie is that the Democrats do not truly subscribe to that position. Monitor the Democrat's deeds instead of their words. You will discover the Democrat's actual goal is to "reduce America's dependence on foreign oil".
