So very sad. My condolences to the Dee family and friends. Rest in peace John.

Old Abe - I respect your knowledge, years of experience purchasing fuel and understanding of the world markets. That said, I’m absolutely confident that if Trump had won the 2020 election, our country would have had a much more prudent EV strategy. In addition, the trend line for fuel prices...

Old Abe - I understand the significance of market forces on the cost of crude. My point…the executive orders and policies of the current administration have been very detrimental to those active in the fossil fuel industry. In my opinion, these actions artificially caused a material and sudden...

Abe - I totally get it that the pandemic caused a decrease in demand for fuel. That said, during the Trump presidency (pre-Covid) the US economy was rockin yet my recollection gas was dancing around $2.50. Why didn’t fuel prices skyrocket then? I assert that unlike Biden, Trump didn’t wage a war...

I’m definitely not an expert on this subject…I‘m only responding based on my observations and what I’m hearing. A business will normally produce what’s in demand. What I’m hearing is that EV inventories are expanding at a higher rate than ICE vehicles. That tells me there’s a disconnect from...

Yes, I believe we think alike. It is beautiful sledding country up here. I grew up in the Yoop and started sledding in 1968 as a kid. Left for my career in 1980 but always came back for vacations (not just for sledding.) So happy to have our primary residence here after retirement so I can sled...

I agree with you 100% PClark. A few short years ago, I never would’ve even thought that my vehicle choice could be in danger. Yet today with those in power pushing their radical ideas, I don’t have the confidence that an ICE vehicle will be in my garage for the long term. I’m patiently waiting...

Like several have said, I’m all for innovation and change when it makes sense. As things currently stand, the “powers to be“ are pushing an inferior product (especially in colder climes) that relies on an electrical grid that currently isn’t capable of supporting it for the masses. I’ll keep my...

We live in the forest off FFH13 about 15 miles south of Munising/Wetmore. Verizon was our phone carrier for years. It was very difficult to make a call unless we used the Wi-Fi calling feature which only works in the house or yard. A month ago we switched to AT&T. I now can make a call when I’m...

Sad news. Didn’t know him but he sure had some interesting incites. Prayers to his family.

Sweet. Thank you for sharing.

Rising gas prices is hurting many Americans in so many ways. This trend will continue given today’s decision by OPEC+. It’s having a detrimental impact that could be readily solved by adopting energy policies that were in effect during the previous administration. However, there’s an even more...

The USA is the envy of many in this world. That’s why so many wish to come to this country as mrbb stated. Unfortunately, those currently in power are working hard to bring down our standard of living to be comparable to countries inferior to us. USA superiority is frowned on by them. Jacking up...

I understand Grub’s point regarding the cost benefits of an EV vs an ICE vehicle. For a segment of the population, an EV is perfect. That segment will increase as the electrical grid becomes more capable, charging infrastructure grows across the nation and battery technology improves. Im 66...

I disagree…the current high energy prices are primarily due to the Biden Administration‘s disastrous energy policies not Covid. Just look at the trend in fuel prices after the change in power. Covid had already been around for a year before Biden took power and fuel prices were low and fairly...

Unfortunately a change in power is not a slam dunk.

i expect a major change in political power during the 2022 midterms and then in 2024. This change will result in a much more friendly approach to the fossil fuel industry. In turn, it will cause a more sane speed in the push for getting consumers to move into “non-fossil fueled“ vehicles.

There’s no question that EVs are here to stay. However, i suspect the party in power will change in the not too distant future. There will be a more friendly approach to the fossil fuel industry resulting in a more practical, less painful and more patient approach to Green energy.

I believe the “Green Movement” has been set back in a big way because of the current administration. The attack on the fossil fuel industry in Biden’s first week was way too hasty and a major fumble. It was as if the climate for EVs was already mature. That along with so many other policy...

In my opinion, a more realistic, logical and less painful transition plan will arise when politicians that are a little more sane come into power.
