With no more burning hog fuel to make electric by 2045
No more gasoline cars by 2030.
You think things are bad now. You just wait it's only gonna get better.
The only reason I'm awake is to put another log on the fire.
Give it a little while ,they will make a ton of juice,and lower the water level this spring to make room for run off.

But !!!! What about HARLEYS ? DANG IT ! Take a moment and look up the life story of just one car battery , it will blow your mind , into the fact of how wrong e cars are , the only solution is solar power , look it up , freeeking the insaneI totally agree with ya.
I'm sticking with gasoline as long as I can.
As the future moves forward ,hydro power they will hold back every drop they can. Solar,wind,battery are not going to cut the mustard in terms of the strain that the future of electric power we will need.
If you buy stocks in power companys now.
You could retire and get an electric Harley.

Meh. I'll take my woodgas powered truck and continue along carbon neutral. No gasoline, no propane, no emissions, no goobermint telling me how much gas I can buy at what price, and best of all? I produce my own fuel and that means I don't step on ANYONE ELSES TOES! soon plan to be powering the house on woodgas as well. Heading for independence that way I want it. Then I can sit back and watch cryder rip and know I'm not a target :chuckle:
The woodgas stuff, while cool and old school way of producing energy, will have the wood nymphs coming after you!
I saw an interesting 'older' discussion on how many 'years' of wood growth per mile it takes to operate vehicles powered by the system. Only sustainable if a fairly small percentage of people use it. Otherwise, between all of the wood uses plus woodgas use in general we would run out of trees if we all switched to that, not to mention the price would start going sky high on any wood, critters would get pushed out and die off, bla, bla, bla.
No energy is free.
Cool 'old school tech' though.

the technology has come a long ways in the last few years, it will never go mainstream we know that for a fact. No one wants to get covered in soot all the time maintaining the system, but they have become very efficient. Guys in Europe have hybrid trees they plant for fuel that grow to maturity in 3-5 years and can produce more fuel then they need for the year of traveling on woodgas. I'm currently getting 1.5lbs of wood per mile traveled, and all my fuel is waste pallets from my work so no extra wood harvest on my part :chuckle: all waste that the company pays to have hauled off so I save the company money and myself money win win. Think of all the slab wood from sawmills, all the branches from yearly tree trimmings that goes to waste. Piles of chips on the ground. There is a fellow that has had success compressing woodgas into propane tanks, sounds like it could run a burner or heater in a ice fishing shack nicely :tup: just my little slice of independence that's all, saving over 1000$ a month on my fuel bill with WW2 technology that most have never heard about or want to deal withMeh.

Rookie mistake 😂 I’m sure you will get a pass this time CG. It takes time to properly read and enjoy cryderisms. Reminds me of the first time I drank whiskey it was unpleasant and bitter at first but I , like most, learned to enjoy it 😂The real question is to Cryder-what is your relationship to lady grouse hunter?

Let Cryder speak his mind. Some of you don't like it but have to be the 1 to bash him. Just move along. Oh wait thats too hard for some folks.
Oh come on, we can’t take shots at a dude that took shots first?!?! Get thicker skin. If you read these replies they aren’t exactly bashing as much as they are giving him a hard time. He came in hot with his post, it’s not uncommon to get a little heat for that.

Didn’t miss anything. Agreed electric cars are not as clean as they make them out to be. No electric blanket here.
What slays me is how surprised electric vehicle owners are at the cost of a replacement battery pack when they go bad. Why do you think that thing costs so much to begin with? I do actually like the tech though, and have built lithium packs.
Fishing is still fishing. Not catching. Some times it is off. Blaming someone cuddling in a blanket for not catching fish? I guess I have been doing it wrong all these years!
Yes, I presume he was not really serious. Me either.
And, by the way, can of Cougar Gold in the fridge….

the only solution is solar power , look it up
I did look it up and you are 100% correct. Of course, we await technological developments to more fully harness solar but here are the facts:
Only a tiny proportion of the sun's energy reaches us, yet it amounts to 3,766,800 exajoules of energy each year (an exajoule is a billion billion joules.....and a joule is a unit of energy in the metric system).
ALL the world's plants capture only about 3000 of these solar exajoules through the process of photosynthesis.
ALL human activities and industries put together consume about 500 exajoules annually, equivalent to the amount of energy earth receives from the sun in just 90 minutes.

Saying the wind doesn't always blow is like saying you can't drill for oil in every back yard. His viewpoint of what is currently happening, much less what the future holds is very ignorant.

Maybe Stossel should have interviewed Scotland about how they get 98% of their electricity from windpower with no batteries. Several countries in Europe and New Zealand are over 40% and the US is over 20% and climbing every day.Scotland and Denmark are barely the size of our smallest states. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

When we talk about battery,how do you think electric cars work. Where do you think those battery packs come from.
Let's put it this way,If everybody bought an electric car today.
And plugged in to charge ,can you say rolling black out.
Let's not even talk about the price per kilowatt.
I agree that video is a year old and not spot on with numbers ,but no way is our power grid up to the future .

If we can dig a barrel of oil out of the ground in the middle east, move it to the coast, put it on a ship, cross the ocean and then use it we can certainly move electrons around in our own country.
What would happen if everyone went to the gas station right now and filled up every vehicle? The gas infrastructure would crash. It's an argument with no point like saying you can power a house in one country on renewables but not a house in the US. There are numerous facts in the video blatantly wrong.
Regarding cost, wind energy fully loaded rates in the US are 3.9 cents per kWhr. Natural gas costs 6.5 cents now and coal is 9.5 cents.
The largest wind power state right now is Texas, that should say something.

I will agree that the fishing is better when the water is lower. Helps concentrate the fish a bit more. I was there last week for a day and a half with my brother and son. It was COLD!! But we were layered up and as long as we kept the wind off the skin it was very pleasant. Fire was good to warm the hand after catching a fish and baiting the hook.
