An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

oops you posted irrelevant pedantics that verge on misinformation 😧

sure it’s distilled solar energy that cannot be renewed. relevant language highligted. no one “forgets,” this. literally no one. it’s just not relevant to a timespan less than millions of years. cheers! ☀️

Petroleum can’t be renewed, but biofuels can be.

v true but i also dislike how biofuels get smorked into yet more CO2 which is kind of a problem rn

Biofuels are carbon-neutral. They release CO2 when burned, but it doesn’t matter because that same CO2 had recently been sucked out of the atmosphere by the plant they came from.

Um piss off. It is not irrelevant or misinformation. That is exactly what petroleum is.

You clearly can’t understand a factual statement from an opinion I never said it was good I never said it was bad I just said it was. If you’d bother to take a moment to think about it. You would realize that I was referring to the fact that petroleum is extremely energy dense. For the very reason I stated. That is fundamentally why petroleum has become a successful energy source and why it’s been so difficult to replace.

You’re welcome to point out where I said it was renewable. I think you’re going to have a difficult time finding that statement.

As for being a pedantic ass that’s clearly your territory. A pedantic ass that it likes to put words in other people’s mouths.

Your post was bordering on irrelevant to the original comment. In light of that the information you provided can really only be interpreted is as pro-fossil fuel.

Just because you can only interpret it that way doesn’t mean it is true.
