To: Tell It Right

This is the truth. I was reading this morning about a promising catalytic process that could allow conversion of CO2 to methanol, which could then be used as a gasoline additive or as a fuel in its own right (in a properly designed engine, of course). I wonder what kind of pretzel logic they will use to oppose something like that. They would certainly expose the lie that it’s the environment they are concerned with, rather than the real concern — shutting down economic activity.

Bull crap like this is why I went solar, spent money to make my home more efficient (what we probably all should do), replaced my two nat gas appliances with electric ones, and bought an EV when it was time to replace my wife's car anyway.

Even though I think gas cars are better than EV's (for most cases), and natural gas is a good energy source, etc. The bottom line is that I can't make my own natural gas. Nor can I make my own gasoline. But I can make most of the power we need with solar. In the past 12 months, a hair over 80% of all the power we consumed was homemade from solar, with the other 20% having to be bought from the grid. That includes charging the EV to drive 15K miles this past 12 months with the home charged miles (local driving). Almost no gasoline cost (what little we drive the gas pickup). Of course, for long trips we have to by either gas or power (depending on which car we take).

With my wife retired and me quasi-retired, it's my goal to remove most of the energy price inflation that our budget wouldn't normally by hit with. Basically, one less way the Dims can control us with their slow-boil methods of creeping in a little more control over us, then a little more control, etc..
