You can store gas. You can’t store electricity.

If they shut down the supply of gas, there is still enough stored for people to do the needful.

They shut off electricity and all you have is what is in the batteries of your car and your range of travel is half a charge even if you have solar generators.

Everyone has gas very few have sufficient solar generators. And even if they do, they can’t travel far.

I have no opinion about what I'm about to share.  I didnt beleive what I'm about to share until I accidentally recieved a PDF at work.  The email was erased by IT while I was out with covid but I know what I read.  And what I read made me observe the world.  It's not good.  And littlepony's thread has pushed me to share.

First off this web site used to exist, now it's just a pdf capture of it:
http://www.igpp.ucla.edu/public/mkivelso/refs/PUBLICATIONS/http___www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.pdf

Now I dont believe that were at peak oil and I know fracking and oil sands and oil shale buys us time, but what I think doesnt matter based on what I read.  The fact is there is a concerted effort to conserve the oil that is left in the world.  This remaining oil will be used for government/militaries, power grids (temporarily), international trade (ships/planes), mass transit and to manufacture clean energy alternatives and critical plastics and chemicals.

Have you ever heard of the 24th international Congress of Aeronautics (WRONG, its 27th international congress on sound and vibration.  The paper dealt with aeronautics).   Well neither did I until I accidentallly got forwarded an email with a pdf attachment from them.  And what the pdf contained was a little shocking.  I read it in full but heres the cliff notes and forgive me if I make mistakes in terminology - I'm not a pilot nor am I an aeronautical engineer.  All future aircraft design for public transit will be reverting back to turbo-prop design.  The reason for this is that future fuel efficiency requirements being put in place by governments to conserve oil reserves means turbo-jet aircraft go away.  Jet aircraft forfeit fuel efficiency for speed, power and comfort (they are quieter for passengers).  Turbo-jets are too inefficient though and will be reserved for military and government use.  Public transit will be prop driven, which presents problems with prop noise and harmonic vibrations that the props create that travel through the fuselage, making long distance flights unbearable for passengers.  The point of the paper was how to eliminate sound inside of the fuselage without adding weight.

The paper went into future oil conservation and how it will effect the industry more and more.

That's when I realized that everything happening right now is because of this.

Then theres our abrupt withdrawal from Afghanistan.   Why?  Because those lands are full of EV riches and the US is incapable of doing anything with it.

Afganistan is mineral rich but people poor
And the Chinese love using slaves to mine shit

If you think I'm full of shit how about kites pulling cargo ships to reduce "emissions"

Why the sudden push to EV's?  It's because whether you want to accept it or not, stage 1 is eliminating ICE vehicles and shifting everything to electric, courtesy of China and Afghanistan.
Get used to expensive gas
And Biden wants you in an EV
Biden hates ICE vehicles

I dont know where this ends but I'm seeing where it begins.  Understanding this puts a lot of things into perspective.

Unlike a 2005 chevy puckup, a simple bit of code can brick pretty much any modern factory EV. All the new ones are connected to the internet.

Sure, most modern vehicles are connected. However the charging is part 2. A gas pump is stupid; it doesn't know if it's filling an F150 or a paper bag. EV charger? They know and communicate with the vehicle.

Shutting off EV chargers or limiting who can charge offers control. You can't store electric like you can jugs of gas.

And since people keep gas cars for years, switching to EVs refreshes the fleet at a faster rate than if people were to eventually replace old ICE with newer ones.

….and can you imagine what the USAF is going to do when they can’t fuel their aircraft?
View Quote


Oddly enough, that point illustrates how this is a manufactured crisis, not an actual shortage (at least not for a while).

Decades ago, the USAF actually did look at the issue of what happens if there is a shortage of jet fuel.  The US imports oil, but has large supplies of coal.  Cutting off those oil imports could quickly cause a problem for the USAF, especially if the president has done something really stupid like reducing the strategic oil reserve.  In an attempt to head off that potential problem before it shut down their operations, the USAF started an investigation into converting coal into a liquified fuel that jet engines could burn.  

Seems they were on to something that would really work, and could set our military up to be independent of imported fuel, so the environmentalists in Congress banned any further research into liquified coal fuels.  Later, they continued their campaign to destroy the US coal industry.

And here you illustrate your astounding lack of knowledge of a subject you are trying to convince us about.

The newer turbofans are so fucking quiet that it's amazing to anyone that worked around the older jets.

TPE331 turboprops can just about make your ears bleed, when they taxi by you on the ramp, and the CJ610s in the old 20 series Learjets aren't much better, but the new generation of turbofans can leave you wondering if the pilot has both of them running (because they are so quiet).

For your next thread, are you going to try to convince us that AR-15s are capable of shooting 100 bullets a second?

Turbo prop aircraft 2022

Turbo props, the future of aircraft


Seriously guys.  How much proof do you need.  Your ICE truck is gonna be a paper weight in 5 years.
View Quote


First article is about a new plane being designed to fill a niche market (short flights, in countries other than the US).  Article says they haven't made a final decision on what engines will be used.

Second article is about a light attack aircraft program for third world countries that the US has allied with and trains their military.  The decision to go with a turboprop is due to a variety of reasons, including the fact that the planes are expected to operate from bases that are too primitive for jet aircraft (too easy for the jet to suck up stuff on the ground and destroy the engine).

Third article is a speculative piece about possible future developments in the industry, including alternative fuels.  It also says this is being driven by politics and "public opinion" (one way of saying "ignorant environmental weenies repeating what they are told to believe").

You guys want to know why there's a sudden big push for EV while at the same time eliminating as many fossil fuels as possible? Control and profit.
That's all it comes down to. ICE vehicles are ubiquitous and offer a level of freedom never before seen in human history.

Well they found a new shell game to shift control and profits back into their pockets (by "their" I meant the pols and mega corps/billionaires)
Very few places/companies have the access to the materials required for EV's. (1st point of control) Electricity rates will become sky high to fuel said EV's (2nd point of control)
"they" will basically be able to control who gets access to the vehicles and unicorn piss to fuel them. With EV being the only "authorized" form of pov's in the near future, here comes the billions and trillions in profit.
Couple all that with a convenient bioweapon, and fearmongering by the msm and pols, and you have a bunch of people geographically separated and easier to control, and then impose more draconian measures.

I'd say things are going according to plan swimmingly for them.

"Some fear flutter because they don't understand it.  And some fear it because they do." -Theodore Von Karman
The two Electra crashes attributed to whirlmode flutter, Tell City IN and Buffalo TX, only happened due to a reduction in propeller plane stiffness due to cracks in the prop gearbox at the attachment of one of the 3 attachments between the gearbox and the main engine section- 2 struts and the torque tube.  Not the airplane's fault, Allison's fault.  But the LEAP program fixed that anyway.  I wish they'd bring it back, and we actually considered building a 2 engine version of the P-3 Orion back in the late 90's.

My theory is the communists in this country want to shut down domestic fossil fuels because it has been the major pillar of our meteoric rise to world power over the last century. Those that want it shut down will eventually retap it, once they've crushed things.

During the JugEars regime, what was one of his first orders of business? Shut down new oil leases. The oil industry invented fracking to counter his restrictive bullshit and we tap so much that we become oil exporters not long after. Same thing with Brandon this go round. He shut down leases. They don't care about the environnent. That is a cover.  They are being paid to reserve these resources for their masters.

Seven years ago they were on the cusp of making it cost competitive with other biodiesel.
It doesn't take much to convert biodiesel into a fuel a spark ignition engine can use.

This isn't about a fuel shortage.  This is environmentalists doubling down on renewable fuels that cost more and pollute more than fossil fuels.

In the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: Petroleum and Uranium. For these resources, China would invade Alaska, the US would annex Canada, and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states, bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth.


China? more likely Russia. And with  sissy sisolak's running buddy, puddingbrains, at the helm, we aren't annexing anything. And you make the EU dissolving sound like a BAD thing...

nvgeologist

In 2022, the storm of world war had come again. In two brief hours, most of the planet was reduced to cinders. And from the ashes of nuclear devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise.


And there you fall off. Even in the Kunetka/Streiber BJ pro-California propaganda thing called WARDAY, some facts actually DID eke their way in. One was that the planet was slowly becoming human inhospitable (except for the nuke-immune, totalitarian gem known as California) from even a minimal nuclear exchange. (Although "minimal nuclear exchange" is so ethicallly and morally filthy when even thought of, never mind put into a sentence....ewww.)

Any new civilization would be unrecognizable to anyone who hasn't taken anthropology. Einstein's theory about WW4 will be proven correct, just no one around to confirm it.
