If Trump wins, we will become energy independent and quit polluting so much. If the rats win we will continue to pollute more due to the importation of energy. The rats are already fighting this incredible opportunity. It seems that whatever is good for the country, is bad for democrats.

The owner of one of the companies I work with in oil and gas was in Canada this past week for a trade show and told me it’s becoming almost impossible to make Made in USA parts for drill pumps and pipes now that countries such as India are even in the sweatshop/slave game. It is Canada, which is collapsing financially much faster than the USA, but parts there for some O&G companies are basically made by kids in factories a few oceans away.
Yeah, here we go. New CAFE standards to save you money. Sure, just like obamacare was going to let you keep your doctor and save a family $2500. Good thing in our democracy we don't get to have our representatives in Congress pass this kind of stuff. Yeah, 35 mpg for heavy duty pickup trucks. That won't cost you nothing. Of course, this isn't a voting issue for Ern or Team Dazzler since magic unicorn farts will be powering our autos and pickup trucks.

(Washington, D.C. – June 7, 2024) The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today announced updated and more protective fuel economy standards for the nation’s new cars and passenger trucks.
The strengthened Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards will save American families money on gas and strengthen U.S. energy security while helping to reduce harmful pollution.
“The CAFE standards announced today will save people hundreds of dollars of hard-earned money at the gas pump and will help make our nation less reliant on foreign oil, all while reducing air pollution and helping us address the climate crisis,” said Alice Henderson, Director of Transportation and Clean Air Policy for Environmental Defense Fund. “Together with other actions like EPA’s recent clean cars and clean trucks standards, the CAFE standards keep us moving down the road to a safer, healthier, and more affordable clean transportation future.” …
NHTSA today announced finalized standards for new passenger cars and light trucks for model years 2027 to 2031 (and projected standards for model year 2032), and for new heavy-duty pickup trucks and vans for model years 2030-2035.
Today’s updated CAFE standards will increase fuel economy by 2% each year for new cars in model years 2027 to 2031 and for new passenger trucks in model years 2029 to 2031. The standards will increase fuel efficiency standards for new heavy-duty pickup trucks and vans by 10% each year from 2030 to 2032 and by 8% each year from 2033 to 2035.
The standards will:
Yep, here we go!
I can't wait to see how the rats justify not mining the natural gas.
Same way they justify everything. It's all about feelings and not actual facts and science. Just pass a law or have your president wave his magic pen and voila - done. Anyway, paying the chicoms for metals and minerals mined from anywhere but the US makes them feel morally superior.
If the dems win/cheatwin this time we are gonna have bigger things than pollution to worry about.
It's funny because I'm betting fuel is a significant portion of your monthly discretionary budget.
Sucking on the government tit is more important to mello. The ultimate patriot.
