I have an ICE only F150 on order. It may have to last me for my driving lifetime.

Bravo. Give me crude oil or give me nuclear power or both.

Well, to be honest, with the internal combustion engine, there would be a LOT of death.

It enables people to drive 30, 40, 60 miles or more ONE WAY to get to a job, that enables people to buy food, pay for housing, clothing, and keep the house warm in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Imagine if we all had to go everywhere on horseback still... my 36 mile commute (one way) would take, 3, 4 hours? at best?

And then they’d expect me to work 8 hours there, and then another 3 or 4 hours back? F that.
