  1. Its not about the environment as the green new deal asshole pointed out. Its about getting people to accept marxism and live willingly under that authoritarian nightmare dystopia. They have taken up the mantle of save the planet, but they do not live it, and they claim the answer to all our problems is marxism. The problem in the 20th century was marxism, it caused the most deaths over the last 100 years, hell it beats heart disease hands down. I am vehemently against marxism, and I am super pissed they are trying to push their agenda with what would otherwise be beneficial to people who live outside cities like I do. I am staunchly pro 1A and 2A, a veteran who served in Iraq and Kuwait, among other places around the world, and I have a chunk of Berlin Wall on my shelf next to me from when I was stationed in Germany back in 1989. I fought against the commies, there is no damn way I am going to let them take control here without a fight. I am big into green energy, because I live in the north above the 45th parallel, so solar doesn't really work that well here. Its daylight from about 0845 to 1630 this time of year, so not much time to get power. Sure it works, but you don't get much with the shallow angle of the sun. everything is expensive, electrical power, food, fuel, we rival California and theirs is due to stupid taxes, ours is from being remote, so it makes sense to make what I can at home rather than pay for it. I am very much into making ethanol for my vehicles, its cheap and simple, a considerable amount of work though. I make it with tree sap and cattails, and I run carbureted and EFI equipped vehicles on it without problems, and have for 14 years. I build my engines to take advantage of it with high compression ratios and utilizing the heat rather than just shedding it. It costs me between 10 and 40 cents per gallon to make it, with tree sap being the cheapest way I have found yet. My winter beaters stay on gasoline, it makes a lot more waste heat so the heaters work better and sooner, plus you don't need as much power when the roads are covered in ice. Ethanol makes a LOT more power than gasoline, its kinda crazy, and holy smokes is it fun to drive my 1965 GTO with a 455 (7.4L) Pontiac V8, with 13:1 compression, and over 600ftlbs and nearly 600hp, still getting 17mpg doing all of that with an old carb. The Aero really sucks on a 65 GTO, so mileage is going to suffer because of the drag. The 70 GTO got 20mpg with the same engine, trans and rear end, it is a bit more slippery to the wind. Not going to drive them in the snow, ice and heavily salted roads of northern Michigan, if I do they will be rusted to nothing in about two years. I live in a shipping container house, because it was cheap and its effective. I heat with wood because propane is hideously expensive here, and natural gas is not available. Electrical heat is out of the question because the grid goes down randomly all the time, I have a generator I can run on ethanol, methane, or gasoline. Right now its on gasoline, because its cheap enough.
