Here is a non EV dream fossil consuming power plant. Currently only $20K.

Ford Godzilla V8 Crate Engine Now Available With 10R140 Transmission, Costs Nearly $20,000

Previously offered in the guise of a standalone crate engine, the Godzilla is now offered as a complete package. The “7.3L POWER MODULE W/10R140 AUTO TRANS” currently goes for $19,995 according to Ford Performance, which is pretty good considering the stuff you’re getting.

$437 of ‘utility power’ (not counting solar generation, which has generated about 2.5MW each of the past 3months)

~1.7c/mi and dropping

Let’s just remember that ”WE” have never pumped any of our plentiful oil.

Then "WE" need to move toward self sufficiency. We are capable of pumping our own oil and refining it.

Are you volunteering to build a new refinery so we can become self sufficient?

As we phase out autos that burn fossil in the coming decades refining gas demands will naturally decline.

It may decline. But there are so many products out there made from petroleum.

That would entail government taking over the oil industry in the US.

Bingo! As the cost to mine and process hydrocarbons continue to climb we need to use them more where they add the most financial value for the common woman and her family.

Why would anyone want a cell phone? They cost too much money. There is no signal in rural areas. The call quality is poor, A landline is better and never going away. ....

The future seldom looks like the present.

Ironicaly every after 25 years there is still no signal in a bunch of rural areas I am in…..
