His point was the autos rely on oil for a fuel source
and are responsible for using a whole lot of it.
Very little electricity is generated from oil, at least here
in the USA. It's only a few percent. Coal is the largest
source, followed by nat gas. And there is a lot more of
that available, enough for hundreds of years.

Yet the Left is shutting down coal mines and coal fired generation at
an astounding pace.

No nukes, no oil, no coal. And the cost of building solar power and
windpower (and remember the millions of dead raptors those create)
will supply the US with energy for centuries to come...right?


The methodology of the left has always been:

1. Lie
2. Repeat the lie as many times as possible
3. Have as many people repeat the lie as often as possible
4. Eventually, the uninformed believe the lie
5. The lie will then be made into some form oflaw
6. Then everyone must conform to the lie
