High fossil fuel prices keep the serf/peasant class down, which is why Prince Charles flies all over the world whining about how the peasants flying is ruining the planet.

Ars tries really hard to distance itself from Dr. Pizza.

Good thing the only fossil fuel is coal. Oil is renewable.

I wish I could get some reliable data on this abiotic theory of oil. Since they find oil at enormous depths, it's unlikely that it's a 'fossil fuel'. But I'd like some data in the vein of: these oil fields in Pennsylvania, long thought exhausted, re-filled within 25 years.

If you find anything let me know. All I know is that the the fossil fuel theory is obvious garbage, and oil seems to be a magical gift from the earth. I'm OK with not having a complete theory for everything, although it would certainly be nice to have a better understanding.

Read the full thing.

Also check the comments. The comments are ROASTING the fucker writer.

They're claiming this is to penalize oil companies, and what's the big deal right. You'll get all your money back as a tax refund during tax season!

Do these retarded fucking idiot fucks not realize keeping gas prices high hurts EVERYONE, AND IT DISPROPORTIONATELY HURTS THE WORKING CLASS THE MOST?

One of them even points out that this article is written by someone who is rich and has EVs aka from a "very high high tower"

Thank god there's sanity there even among leftists.

Why would I get money back on my tax return because of high gas prices? By buying an EV that I can't afford even with the tax "credit"?

Even if you can afford it, not sure it would be worth anything in 10 years when the battery dies

I mean cars are the most famous depreciating asset*, but they're not that bad

*if you have the right model of car you can actually hold or increase your value

I could, theoretically keep my 2014 charger running indefinitely through parts and even a full drive train and/or engine swap from junked cars.

Those batts are fucked once they're dead, unless someone does the smart thing and makes hot swappable batteries in series.

Is that why they love kiddy diddlers like Peter Bright so much? Because they groom kids into being alphabet people so they won't reproduce and "harm the planet"?

The plebians have been using to much fuel, which belongs to their betters. Time to adjust their mobility privileges.
