Well you keep responding to me, and keep trying to rationalize why Fat Americans need Oil to make their lives easy.

You sir, are obsolete.

[Grayqboufan]

@learrus You're such a pleasant individual. There is no reason for you to talk to me that way. I've done nothing to you, yet you've jumped down my throat from the get-go. All I ever said was that oil is far from being an obsolete source of power because the entire world's infrastructure depends on it. I wish you the best. I hope for your own sake that you can learn to overcome your anger at some point and act like an adult.

[learrus]

@Grayqboufan

Actually, that means I get angry that you are allowing yourself to just throw away the future.

Big Oil is mass murder; I came to this conclusion independently a couple years ago; go ahead and fucking type that shit into Google and you'll see a University Professor came to that conclusion, on his own, also.

GO FUCK YOURSELF, BIG OIL BITCH.

People like you hold our entire species back in the dark ages of oil consumption.

[Grayqboufan]

@learrus Your resorting to hostility towards me simply proves that I have won this debate. I have debated you in a calm, sensible manor. You have gotten angrier and angrier as this has gone on. Why get angry and throw vulgarity my way if you're really right? It only makes you look like a fool who got mad because someone with facts that you are unwilling to accept on his side confronts you. You're an acting like an immature child trapped inside an adult's body. Time to grow up, learrus. Cheers.

@Grayqboufan

Why are you still talking?

Some random guy on the fucking YouTube comments section is not going to un-convince me of my research and what I have seen, technologically and other wise.

The air, or what you might call the 'nothing that is around me' itself is electric, and WE CAN DRAW A CHARGE FROM IT.

But cannot make money off it.

STFU Oil Bitch.

[Grayqboufan]

@learrus The question of wars being fought over oil is irrelevant. There are far bloodier wars being fought over diamonds, food, water, and other commodities. That's not oil's fault, that's just human nature.

EVs is lightyears away from being useful. You're stuck with fossil fuels for at least another two generations. Obsolete you say?

It's not bullshit, it's fact. Just because you refuse to accept reality doesn't mean I'm spouting bullshit. How much of what I have said is false? None of it.

[learrus]

@Grayqboufan

I am well aware the world I live in has been crafted by plastic.

I don't drive any form of car, I own a BMX.

I am well aware of the problems with EVs and our current grid.

I use natural soap for laundry.

Go research how much damage Big Oil has done to the inventors of the world through suppression and violence.

How many wars are currently being fought over oil?

We can make plastics from Cellulosec, from plant matter.

Remove the bullshit from your mind.

@learrus Keep ranting about your natural fantasy world as you bang away on that keyboard that was made of plastic, which comes from oil. As you drive to work tomorrow either in your internal combustion engine-powered car or your electric car (which is actually dirtier than gasoline powered cars because that electricity was produced from a coal-burning power plant and are also made from plastic). Or tonight when you do your laundry with detergent, who's ingredients came from crude oil.
