American Energy from A to Z

While Joe Biden, Gov. Lujan Grisham and progressive Democrats try to destroy American oil and gas, we want to share this fun review of American Energy from A- to Z.
A: Airlines that would be grounded, and airports that would be closed, without a replacement for the crude oil that makes the fuels, that politicians want to rid the world of.
B: Billions on this planet that exist because of all the products and various fuels made from crude oil that were not around before the 1800’s.
C: Climate policies that favor wind turbines and solar panels that only generate occasional electricity but CANNOT make any products.
D: Death spiral imposed on the auto industry to only manufacture EVs just for the elites to drive a vehicle.
E: Elephant in the Room is that the ruling class, powerful elite, and media, avoid energy literacy conversations as the end of crude oil that is manufactured into all the products and transportation fuels that built the world to eight billion, would be the end of civilization as “unreliable electricity” from breezes and sunshine cannot manufacture anything.
F: Fossil fuels manufacture everything for the 8 billion on this planet, i.e., products, and transportation fuels.
G: Give me a Break, as John Stossel often says about the very few parents, teachers, students, politicians, and those in the media, have any clues or understanding about the basis of the products in our daily lives!
H: Humanity abuses that support “clean energy” and the lack of transparency to the environmental degradation and humanity atrocities occurring in developing countries mining for those exotic minerals and metals to support the “green” movement.
I: Inventories of unsold EV’s continue to grow.
J: Jumping out of an airplane with a parachute without a plan to identify the replacement for the oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil that are the basis of products, travel, and communications for the 8 billion on this planet.
K: Knowledge that renewable energy is only intermittent electricity generated from unreliable breezes and sunshine, as wind turbines and solar panels cannot manufacture anything for the 8 billion on this planet.
L: Life expectancy continues to increase from the products made from oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil.
M: Materialistic society that we’ve become over the last 200 years, and the world has populated from 1 to 8 billion because of all the products and different fuels for planes, ships, trucks, cars, military, and the space programs that did not exist before the 1800’s.
N: No parts or components can be made from “just electricity” from wind turbines, solar panels, nuclear, and hydro, and for all the mining equipment used to extract the metals and minerals to build clean “electricity” as they are all made with the oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil!
O: Only occasional electricity from wind turbines and solar panels, but no products for humanity.
P: Parts and components for wind turbines, solar panels, nuclear, and hydro, and for all the mining equipment used to extract the metals and minerals to build clean “electricity” are made with the oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil!
Q: Quality of life that began after the 1800’s with the development of more than 6,000 products made from the oil derivatives manufactured from oil.
R: Ridding the world of crude oil usage, i.e., jumping out of an airplane without a parachute, while there is NO plan to identify the replacement for the oil derivatives that are the basis of everything.
S: Shockingly, very few parents, teachers, students, politicians, and those in the media, have any clues or understanding about the basis of the products in our daily lives!
T: Truck and automobile components and parts that CANNOT be made by wind turbines or solar panels.
U: Usage of crude oil is NOT for the generation of electricity, but to manufacture derivatives and fuels which are the ingredients of everything needed by economies and lifestyles to exist and prosper, i.e., all products that did not exist pre-1800’s
V: Vehicles that are 100% comprised of parts and components made from the oil derivatives manufactured from crude oil..
W: Weather related fatalities have virtually disappeared with all the products and medications available today that are made with oil derivatives from crude oil that were not available a few centuries ago.
X: Xylenes, along with the primary chemicals of ammonia, methanol, ethylene, propylene, benzene, and toluene, all of which are manufactured from crude oil, but cannot be made by wind turbines or solar panels.
Y: Yet the state of California, the 4th largest economy in the world, but with only 0.5% of the world’s population believes it can change the world environment at the expense of those living in the State.
Z: Zero products being made from wind turbines and solar panels.

Supreme Court reinstates defendant’s conviction for 2017 killing in southwestern New Mexico
SANTA FE – The state Supreme Court today reinstated a man’s second-degree murder conviction for the death of a Florida woman who was driving him to Mexico to live with a family member.
