After Bush 43 and his executive power grabs, a fed up Republican judge said that the Right just takes positions, then tries to shoehorn them into some “originalism” that never really existed.

Toyota wants hydrogen to succeed so bad it's practically paying people to buy the Mirai…”you can get $40,000 off a 2023 Toyota Mirai Limited, a fuel-cell vehicle that retails for $66,000. When you factor in the $15,000 in free hydrogen over six years and the available 0% interest loan, the new car would run you just $11,000. “https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/28/hydrogens-real-markets/

@Hypx According to the International Monetary Fund global fossil fuel subsidies surged to a record $7 trillion in 2022, which is equivalent to 7.1% of global GDP. In the US around $20 billion per year. There is little of that fantasy free market in the real world & every new venture has a tipping point for profitability.

@Hypx The existence of petrostates - most GDP from FF, is not necessarily incompatible with free market principles, they can still have private sector activity and trade. However, the dominance of the state in the oil/gas sector and the use of subsidies and other interventions distort the free market. Not always a negative. Subsidies, not always bad. They can be a way to nudge businesses, to say, improve environmental practices.

@Hypx Oil companies do have a tax burden or obligation, but again, the combination of tax provisions, deferrals, and subsidies often results in them paying significantly less compared to other industries.
-and the original post was just about a cool green tech car that ends up costing half as much as a new Corolla. Hydrogen fuel development and adoption would be one of the holy grails of clean energy, plus soci-economic benefits for everyone.

If Wilson wants to live by his interpretation of some religious dogma, he's free to do that. What he not allowed to do is force his cruelty dressed up as 'morality' on others. His hateful agenda includes a ban on abortion care from the moment of conception & without exceptions for rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother.
