Also, with the development of battery technology, they'll probably be able to come up with a superior substitute to what we have now.

Somewhat Tubman. As demand lowers due to electric cars, production of gas lowers. It becomes less in demand. Now if the rest of the world is using gas and we aren't, then maybe yes.

But this is only hypothetical. Gas isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Just know oil doesn't care if you can feed your family or afford it. It's not an industry that will never give it away. You need it. Unfortunately the elephant in the room is nuclear power. Really the only way to a "green" idea.


In my weird little pea brain thinking. If every one had a few solar panels it might make a difference. It's apposed to the idea of a central power station, but a network of individual producers. Electric companies will still have to maintain the grid. Will always need more... So maybe a reduction in price but money still.



It's just my stupid opinion... still think optima makes a great battery.

What else do the middle eastern states have to sell? Agricultural products? Manufactured goods? Maybe sand? I bet they'll do just about anything to maintain the lifestyle they've gotten used to.

Well that might borderline conspiracy. But we use oil so... what does that make us, buyers. But we buy the same amount as we export. Relationships are important. Its a world market, that can be used to influence and control others. Same as food.

But it never effected the flow of drugs and but maybe lettuce produce. Just a stunt to slow things down. People are going to do drugs. If it's prescribed or they huff carb cleaner. Sad but true.



Hey the midwest does most of those things and with the great lakes we have a large supply of fresh water. But it's really cold here, so no reason to move.


Guess that's geo politics run by commodities.


Speaking of good products, I like optima batteries.

They are only about $100 or so and have worked well for me (high horsepower flathead that I crank a lot to get fuel into the engine before I hit the 'mag' switch).

I keep mine on a battery tender - always works just perfectly and shows about 6.5 or so volts when coming off the charger.

Those tenders are the lifeline for garage museum pieces. My '33 is always grinning.

I'll bet they're group 1. I always had problems starting with those on very hot days. The only way I could be sure the car would start then was if I left the hood up. That problem went away when I switched to an Optima.

They're OK for tractors and 6 cylinder Plymouths, but I found them lacking for a flathead Ford.
