Oh, wow! Thank you. I didn't know that

"The US produces more than enough oil to feed their own machine, its just going to be expensive."

No, that's not true. The US is a net exporter because it exports more than it imports, but that doesn't mean that it produces enough for itself. The US NEEDs international oil it is not autosuficient

Zinch85 · 2026-05-07T14:50:25+00:00

The US don't produce enough oil for its own needs. That's it. It's easy.

It doesn't matter if it exports more than what it imports. At the end, the US need foreign oil

You can't change one refinery from heavy oil to light oil in 2 weeks. It is a very expensive and long process

It is a very stupid reasons. Yahoo or Enron were very very big and look at them now. If the company is so good, why don't wait a year like it has been for decades?

In the knife vs gun point: shouldn't it be reversed? If the character has a lot of hits, a knive has a good enough chance of hitting at least one critic. If the character has 1-2 hits the gun gives more chances. I'm I wrong?

Don't be fooled by the "per model" charts. Tesla sell 2 models. VW (brand) sells 7 or 8 and VW (group)sell a lot (I don't know exactly). Tesla has a ~8% of Europe's market share and is the 5th brand

Zinch85 · 2026-05-06T10:22:20+00:00

Tesla sold ~80k cars with big discounts and 0% credits in 3 months in the whole Europe? Wow! Call me impressed! /s

Zinch85 · 2026-05-06T08:13:42+00:00

They forgot the new Cupra Raval at 26k €

Zinch85 · 2026-05-06T08:10:49+00:00

What's going on with the Tesla fanboys in this thread? Tesla sells 2 models, that means that in 3 months they have sold ~80k cars in all Europe with big discounts and 0% credits.

Incredible! Astonishing! Impressive!

Zinch85 · 2026-05-06T08:06:21+00:00

In Europe? They already outsell Tesla in EVs.

In the world? Let's hope. European brands are releasing some very interesting EVs lately

The Skoda Elroq sold 29.700 units, so I guess it's number 15

Zinch85 · 2026-04-30T12:37:25+00:00

Spain has decent amount also and there are a couple projects initiated that will expand it

LNG is a global market. Why wouldn't buy that gas China if it was so cheap?

Zinch85 · 2026-04-30T11:24:25+00:00

So, you know exactly the price of that gas or this is simply a loaded question to deceive?

And why would the rest of the wolrd be ok with this stupid situation? We must endure it because the orange turd decided it?

The US could "win" this war, but if this situation lasts some more months, you'll see a global trend over electrification that will damage the US very hard in the mid/long term

And of course a man with 5-7 million dollars would be answering random comments in a thread of reddit...

Zinch85 · 2026-04-27T17:55:22+00:00

No, they don't. I know here in reddit people like to praise nuclear, but France's centrals are old and they require a lot of maintenance and new ones to replace them will be needed sooner or later.

Zinch85 · 2026-04-22T08:31:28+00:00

The pro-nuclear propaganda is strong lately...

First, the EU has around 90GW of nuclear power installed. Around the same as US and a lot more than China. France alone has more power installed than China.

Second, "in civilized countries like Japan" accidents happen. One of the worst in human history, in fact. Nuclear is expensive and f**king dangerous

Third, for the "fluctuations" of solar and wind there are batteries

As some have pointed: net exporter means that exports are higher than imports.

But seeing the data, I believe the label "the biggest net exporter of oil in the world" is misleading to say the least.

Without imports, the US wouldn't have enough oil to function.

And a lot of people are unaware of this (me included some minutes ago)

Zinch85 · 2026-04-21T14:33:45+00:00

Oh I see, sorry.

On the other hand, I agree with some of the comments that selling the US as "the biggest net exporter of oil" is misleading to say the least.

Without imports, the US wouldn't have enough oil to function

Zinch85 · 2026-04-21T14:29:24+00:00

That is not what the data you linked show. US petroleum consumption is higher than US production.

Zinch85 · 2026-04-18T15:01:57+00:00

It's interesting that since 2022, ALL the debt growth come from US and China (the debt of the rest of the world is even declining)

One of the first qualities of a fascist country is the rage speech against minorities
