[QUOTE=rickair7777;4028049]Maybe. The primary voters literally don't care, many of them actually *want* euro-style $20/gal gasoline to encourage everyone to ride bikes and take the bus.

Well that was the idea of energy independence - not just oil - renewables!!! etc etc. I’ve been driving electric since 2019. I don’t do it to be some green Ahole or to save the world. I put solar on my captains house and thought it’s pretty cool I pay for most of my energy needs from the sun. Granted I don’t have any kids to put through college . I paid $32K for solar to power my entire life at home. Payoff 8 years. And I use my full self driving 80-90 percent of the time. It pulls into my garage after a long 4 day.

I have a pretty good idea. Park all our nuclear Navy fleet off both coasts with a long extension cord and water hose. Taxpayer power and water problems solved . If there’s a reactor issue or need them to drop bombs somewhere they disconnect and sail away. Israel can pay us back with their water desalination technology as they are the leaders in that.
