Cracks me up though. Responding to the alternative methods to deliver

are the better way to transport it even though her boss axed the

Then she thumbed her typical liberal nose at the public by saying
that if people used electric vehicles, they wouldn't be experiencing
these fuel shortages. She also happens to own stock in an electric
bus manufacturer that Biden visited to promote.
The value of her stock holdings are potentially worth $ millions
and she has not divested her holdings even though there's a
conflict of interest issue.

But what really cracks me up is none of these electric vehicle
advocates ever mention where the energy comes from to charge
up their electric vehicle batteries. The vast bulk of it is
generated by fossil fuel plants. Plus, whenever energy is
transformed from one state to another there are losses involved.

Speaking of alternatives, it's too bad these private sector companies
aren't devoting the necessary assets to hardening their systems so that
the hackers can't extort them.

Oh, the Keystone project...there are many many negative issues
associated with it. It's not as simple-minded as Trumpsters like to
portray it.

The main negative is they routed around some indian land and they were
not going to get the royalty. Also billionaires like Warren Buffett
were going to lose that rail traffic.
You don't have to spend much time in Montana or South Dakota to see
trains like this, 100 cars or more, hauling that Canadian sludge
south.

There are also the I2R losses in the transmission lines. A while ago
one of my inspector trade rags had a story "How hot are those
conductors?" talking about how hot some transmission lines run and how
that affects line sag but the fact remains that is waste heat going
into the air.
It is hard to get the utilities to say how much power is wasted in
transmission and the crazy bookkeeping they use on the grid makes
those numbers hard to actually believe when you see them but it is a
pretty big number if your power is coming from very far away.
I2R still wins in the end.

I'm sure you know that's the reason the transmission lines are run at such a high voltage.
It minimizes he losses, but there are still some. The company I used to work for put in
some equipment for a regional power company some years ago. They told me about an
incident where, in the middle of the summer in a coastal SC area, a transmission line that was
hot and sagging separated at a badly crimped barrel "butt" splice. No one was there to see it,
but when it separated it produced a fireball that, when it hit the ground, blew a big enough hole
to drive a truck down into and hide it. They said there were clumps of fused sand laying around.

That would have been cool to see, just not too close up.

Some of the "high tension" power lines run at *very* high voltages ...
in some cases in excess of 200,000 volts.
