  Eliminate the Oil Industry?

  by Anony Mous in

  1. social

  a lot of countries are on the side of eliminating the oil industry altogether as well as zero-emission alternatives like nuclear power.. in the us, biden has promised to eliminate all federal lands oil production when he takes power in 2021 (30% of the united states) as well as native american tribal lands which account for 8 percent of all oil, 9 percent of all natural gas, and 6 percent of all natural gas liquids from 96,000 wells (10% of the total wells in the us).. in europe, oil and gas production has been largely eliminated except for the nordic countries and the uk (which the eu recently lost access to), germany is funding a major oil pipeline as is china from russia and russian-controlled portions of ukraine, even after trump cut off all builders from russian oil pipelines, the russian government is now trying to build the pipeline themselves with potential disastrous results.. venezuela's economy collapsed largely due to the government taking over and eliminating the oil industry companies.. in the mean time, control for most non-us energy sources is now wholly dependent on russian and middle eastern governments.. california and germany eliminated oil-based energy sources and now mandate 30% of their power from 'green' wind and solar alternatives.

  germany energy costs now hover around 25c/kwh and california is not far behind with 16c/kwh both experiencing rolling blackouts in major cities and importing 60% of mostly coal and gas energy from their neighbors.. the world currently has 300 years worth of oil at the current rates of usage which have stagnated due to improved efficiencies.

  co2 emissions in the us have dropped in the last 3 years for the first time in decades despite (or because) reduced oil and gas regulations.. do you think given the above facts, eliminating the oil industry is a good thing?

  is this true?

  has anyone here on this forum had such an experience?

  We’ve been shunned for years. Mrs Hoser isn’t a team player and we really don’t mind the shunning. Jws are so on edge in social settings afraid of what others will think or say. Life is to short to live that way.

  Never been labelled an apostate though

  Door to door was mostly ineffective because of privacy laws. You couldn’t physically record interest or not at homes without breaking the law

  California to ban sales of fossil fuel cars in 15 years

  this will never work but liberals are too stupid to know it.

  first off all you have to do is cross the border and buy a car.

  if they will not let you license it in the state then many will license it out of state.

  Scientists should lead by example. David Suzuki should donate 3 of his 4 mansions to house some of Vancouver's homeless population

  His SUVs should be used to transport the disabled.

  No more high paid speaking engagements for you Mr Suzuki as this contributes to climate change.

  Climate change is big business. Follow the money and the real truth will be revealed.

  We eat oil. The best green solution would be to turn the clock back 150 years and go back to organic farming with the horse.

  Horsepower took about one third of the farmland just to feed the horses. Take away petroleum based fertilizers and pesticides and another third of food production is lost.

  So to go totally green we need to starve out 5 billion people

  Electric motors can be extremely energy efficient and the vehicle doesn’t need a conventional transmission. The only drawback is range and battery life. If everyone switched to an electric car tomorrow the electrical grid would fail. There just isn’t enough power lines or generation capacity to handle the extra load.

  Solar and wind can’t do it so we would need more gas or coal fired electricity which defeats the purpose of the electric car. Nuclear power plants are the solution but no one wants one in their back yard.

  here is governing body member mark sanderson reading micah 6:8 from the new world translation.

  twisting micah 6:8 to fit the governing body's narrative to be ''loyal'' to jehovah and ingrained into every member's brain to also include the ''governing body.

  This is from the “new” new world translation 2013 version. The original new world translation wasn’t worded that way.

  If your teachings don’t agree with the bible, make a new bible.

  Does anyone have an “old” new world translation. I can’t remember how Micah 6:8 was rendered.

  Are You Satisfied With The Way The News Media Acts?

  it would be a wonderful thing if the news media tried to exercise some fairness when they report the news or editorialize on a matter.

  if the news media does not stop showing bias, i would like to see sanctions of some sort on the cnn’s of the world.

  i really don’t think they can make the media fair but it would be nice..

  We could petition the governing body to bring back “Watching the World” in the Awake Magazine. It might actually be less sensational than CNN.
