Yup. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING made from any type of product derived from petroleum. Let's see how that works out. Fookin' idjit ecotossers!

[DesertRhino]

Awesome...any advice on how to catch bone cancer?

Investments made during the war mobilization yielded a robust middle class and decades of sustained, broadly shared prosperity.

Misleading, they neglect to add that the U.S.A. was largely untouched by war, while other nations were devastated by war and our productivity rebuilt other nations and supplied products worldwide. Other countries were crippled while we were productive. FDR got way too much credit for our postwar growth, while he was largely to blame for prolonging the depression.

Liberals’ Teslas can’t move one inch without petroleum. What do they think tires are made of? There are thousands of essential products made from petroleum-derived hydrocarbons. So-called “fossil fuels” are essential to everyday life, even if we never used another drop as fuel. So, libs can never get rid of them, but what the fools can do is make all of the petroleum-derived products we use (plastic, anyone?) vastly more expensive.

Vox will tell us how to make China #1, in addition to being #1 polluter and CO2 emitter. Start with releasing a deadly virus.

A similar mobilization will be necessary for the US to decarbonize its economy fast enough to avert the worst of climate change.

Boil all the pretty pink unicorns and use their grease as fuel.

[Sequoyah101]

Sorry, no. Out to lunch and ignorant as a post.

Ain’t skeered of globull warming.

These people could be level headed but are so full of BS it is running out of both ears.

[Paladin2]

Metallurgical Solar power will produce Steel?

My teenager Diesel cars will be fueled by windmills? [How does THAT work?]

Sounds like typical ‘Rat Utopian BS.

“ A physicist, engineer, researcher, inventor, serial entrepreneur, and MacArthur “genius” grant winner, Griffith’s recent work ....”

Well, we finally found out who eventually invents the Mr. Fusion personal power generator.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Why would we want to decarbonize? Carbon stores the sun's energy. What could be more natural than sunshine? We have all the solar power we need locked up in coal and oil.
 

[SaxxonWoods]

No thanks, we’ll take the climate change.

[desertfreedom765]

It’s really about crashing our economy. They want as many people as possible to be poor and angry.

Easier to control that way.

[Salamander]

What do I put in the Hemi?

Crisco??

Oh, shit...who left the cage door open again??

[kiryandil]

The operation where they cut off the top of Dave Roberts’ skull, scooped out his brains, and then shat in the newly-empty space before sewing it up must have been cringe-worthy to watch....

[Lockbox]

It’s all about the BTUs. Oil / Natural Gas are Kings.

[SmokingJoe]

Decarbonize the economy huh?
To what end?
Reduce America to abject poverty and bring in even more riots, looting and anarchy?

[The Pack Knight]

They aren’t idiots. They know exactly what they are proposing. This heading from the article explains it:

There’s no way to accomplish a rapid energy transition with market-based policies

The “transformation” will be accomplished through Soviet-style five-year plans. Which is, of course, the point of all this.

[higgmeister]

Vox Sox!
