    it happened the moment that you compared liberals to nazis. weirdly, you implied (admitted?!) that the u.s. (in the form of trump?!) and russia teamed up to defeat progressive democrats in 2016 – like they did in 1944.

    wtf ever.

    Dave: “Each state is a democracy.” In theory but gerrymandering by the right often, as they completely intend to, makes their minority win. That slaps democracy in the face.

    Why do the politicians who you agree with have to redistrict areas in order to win? Could it possibly be that their ideas and intent are not in alignment with the majority of those they wish to govern? Naw, couldn’t possibly be that could it?! lol

    Also, before you start attacking sources, might be best to research your own Dave. George Soros “controlled media”? Yeah, the big bad boogie-man who apparently can’t sway any elections this or in the last countless elections. Please, get a grip. OSNet Daily is a conspiracy site full of trolls with no paper-trail. If you are going to question someone’s sources, please don’t go to the bottom of the barrel. You’re only wasting everyone’s time.

    J242: Each state is a democracy. The federal union of states is not. Here is a good explanation of why you want the electoral college system:

    The Electoral collage did its job and confirmed Trump as president elect. So glad we are a constitutional republic rather than a mob ruled democracy.

    “It’s also long way to go, though, to say that electric cars are clean. ”

    I have never said that. The power used to propel them “can” be clean via renewable resources like solar but of course in the construction of several thousands lbs of machinery there will be dirty waste. The thing is that they are far, far, far “cleanER” than any gas only alternatives.

    “we agree that many of the solutions need closer scrutiny than they are getting.. but they aren’t going to get that scrutiny without the kind of public subsidies that brought us the current petroleum industry… are we?”

    Ask Tesla. They took a bailout from the government a while back however they utilized that bailout very well and have paid it back. Now they are doing gangbusters. They are dominating all other brands in luxury car sales and are working to release a much more affordable “economic” model that had tens of thousands of people throwing money at them to get reservations for delivery. They built their own power grid for the rapid-chargers and now thanks to their Solar-city deal are working to bring home owners into the fold as power producers via the new solar roofing systems they just announced along with massive acquisitions in solar capability (massive solar farms and a more broadly distributed passive & active solar network across the country).

    No public subsidies needed. Musk is turning sunshine into gold and people are jumping at the opportunity to get a piece at full retail value.

    “That doesn’t get you around the comparing liquid fuels to electricity. ”

    When an electric car can get comparable range to 10 gallons in a similar car then yes it is absolutely, 100% comparable. When driving around the city in stop & go traffic, my vehicle does not use any gasoline at all. I can make it do so if I choose to, but I do not have to.

    “Or around my core argument that to only concern yourself with the fuel aspect of petroleum is short sighted and to claim that hemp is the panacea for petroleum replacement is ludicrous. ”

    I am not only concerning myself with the fuel aspect of petroleum. That is an important one to get off of though as we have alternatives becoming available at more affordable rates, reliability and range every year. We are at a tipping point where we can significantly reduce our use of gasoline. For many other uses of petroleum, it will take far longer to get off of but you seem to think it’s just not possible or plausible. It absolutely is plausible though. Bio-diesel is a perfect example. People right now are already able to modify consumer vehicle diesel engines to run off of their own bio-fuels with little to no petroleum used. People have been doing this since the 80’s and it’s just getting easier with after-market kits.

    This battle has been raging for well over a decade now and everyone who doesn’t have a vested interest in the oil companies seems to be in agreement on it.

    http://biodieselmagazine.com/articles/1434/hemp-biodiesel-when-the-smoke-clears/
    https://www.theguardian.com/environment/blog/2008/jan/28/whyishempoffthebiofuelme

    The ethanol in most gasoline is already a bio-fuel and our engines have adapted accordingly for less pollution. Hemp is similar. I’m not saying it will replace gasoline as we currently have it but it absolutely can be used in bio-diesel engines.

    Electric vehicles can and are beginning to replace ICE only cars and bio-diesel can replace petroleum only diesel. The only problem right now is cost. Oil industry getting tens of zeros in subsidies while auto-manufacturers get almost none to replace their old infrastructure with more modern sources of power. Do you know off hand what electric vehicles Chevy, Ford, Kia, BMW, Cadillac or Kia sell? The only thing they air commercials on are Toyota’s Prius (hybrid, cannot run in pure electric mode until one of the most recent 2017 models).

    They are incentivized to do the least amount possible to get consumers off of the gasoline bandwagon and are taking as much time as they can to do so. Thankfully Tesla is continuing to shake things up and is actively pushing people to get off the liquid fuel but right now, in America, they are the only ones really pushing for it.

    Well, I’m happy to cop to being wrong about the batteries in terms of recycling. That doesn’t get you around the comparing liquid fuels to electricity. Or around my core argument that to only concern yourself with the fuel aspect of petroleum is short sighted and to claim that hemp is the panacea for petroleum replacement is ludicrous. There are may products that used to be petroleum based that have alternative processes now, neoprene for one, but it’s a long way to go.

    It’s also long way to go, though, to say that electric cars are clean. They use many things that other cars don’t requires and cause their environmental and ecological damage in other ways, before we address where the electricity is coming from.

    Look, I don’t disagree that we need to separate ourselves from oil. It’s going to happen one way or another. I’m saying that many of the solutions that are being peddled require closer scrutiny that they are receiving and that includes the use of storage batteries. For instance, where can we obtain lithium? Not the US! Yes, we have some but, globally, we aren’t even in the market as a supplier. That would make us dependent on the good will of China, Chile, Argentina, Australia, etc. Bear in mind that, based off of the link that you attached from Tesla’s literature on recycling Li-ion batteries also notes that the lithium is, currently, not recoverable. That’s a problem.

    There is no hypocrisy here.. one look at Trump’s cabinet and anyone who seriously believes that Trump wants to produce goods here in the US is delusional. Heck.. neither he nor his wife produce their goods in the US.. because.. he said it.. he would be stupid to do so when he can make them cheaper elsewhere. Weren’t you listening?

    As for me.. i am a think globally buy locally advocate.. and have been since the very first day i signed onto this forum which i think is 8+ years… i am pretty sure i started speaking about it right away since it is a practice i have lived for 40+ years.

    I do pay the cost burden of US labor and environmental protection on the things I consume… and on top of that we pay taxes.. at the heftiest rate possible with no tax avoidance strategies… by choice. You might say we pay our fair share and yours too ;-)

    Not to labor the point.. but we also go way out of our way to help those who are not as lucky as we are…

    Can you say the same? You talk big but i am guessing .. based on the evidence of your remarks made on this forum that you don’t put your money where your mouth has been…

    that is hypocrisy.

    as for the way you label all liberals and then proceed to argue against your own assumptions without paying any attention to what the individuals you are supposedly talking to say?
    that’s a straw man argument…

    “A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent’s argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be “attacking a straw man”.
    Straw man – Wikipedia
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

    the key word in that definition is fallacy… otherwise known as not true.. or mislabeling .. or a lie. I will stop short of liar liar pants on fire because it’s Christmas and i am feeling charitable.. besides.. JTB thinks we should elevate this conversation and i agree… so you get a pass.. this time.

    i will pass along this Christmas gift.. you can tell a con from an solid argument by whether or not the assertion is backed by either facts or actions or both. Hot air..in the end.. is just hot air.

    those Trump campaign promises? they were hot air… blown up the proverbial skirts of voters …
    Know that man not by what he says.. because he has a history of lieing to “make the deal” .. but by what he does. What he does totally contradicts what you think said…

    After seeing this go by, I looked for the actual source on Airbnb’s own site.

    Mostly an attempt to promote their Experience feature. No further details.

    https://press.atairbnb.com/17-neighborhoods-to-watch-in-2017-airbnb-data-reveals-trending-neighborhoods-for-travel/

    But seriously, I would expect one of the main reasons that this service has grown here is our shortage of formal lodging. We were just in The Triangle tonight and reminded that Grove remains West Seattle’s only actual motel/hotel. When I first saw West Seattle as a tourist 27 years ago, I was shocked that so much spectacular scenery had nowhere for a tourist to stay and enjoy it. (I’ve since learned, of course, about the controversies over the years.)

    Back to the original subject … I wish Airbnb’s news release had a little more data to go with the stats. (Such as, which zips do they consider West Seattle? All of it? Or just oh say 98116?)

    Mark,

    “To compare liquid fuels to electricity is rather apples to oranges.”

    Yet Teslas can get between 265 and 315 miles using only battery power and if charging from renewable resource produced electricity ends up becoming almost exactly comparable. For my 25 mile drive to the office and back my battery power alone is enough to not have to use a drop of gas. My car has a gas tank meant as a “range extender” so I can drive up to 400 miles without filling/recharging but it’s perfect for city driving and relatively short commuting trips.

    Not apples to oranges at all. Electricity is not fuel, sure. It is a power source that is far more efficient than the combustion of matter. We are currently at the tipping point of Solar being equally cost efficient as a means of power production with wind. Next will be hydro and as more facilities update, it will ultimately become even less expensive via mass production to the point that it’s the cheapest per KW or GW after you factor in the costs of environmental hazards created by other production methods.

    “As to the Li-ion batteries that power the electrical portion, their seriously toxic waste and they aren’t recyclable, their garbage.”

    Absolutely wrong in so many ways it’ll make your head spin.
