Oh, I definitely have. But why give him the same pleasure?

That's one hell of a misquotation. The IEA has said fossil fuels will peak BEFORE 2030, with related energy generation CO2 emissions probably peaking by 2025.

Why is his question fair? He just wants to make it personal. His dishonest arguments stand independently of whoever calls them out - you can call them out, and it wouldn't matter what kind of car, or yacht, you own as long as you pointed out the truth. In fact, some of the best takedowns of Brent have been from lippy, who works in the fossil fuel industry brent loves so much and shills so hard for. We all just have life to deal with and truth exists independently of people's circumstances.

Sorry brent, I won't give you any personal details, you should find other friends Good try changing the topic, too. Looks like you've run out of actual arguments, so have a great rest of your weekend!

FINALLY you tell us what you've been smoking. Newsflash, it's probably not good for you. Not sure what the laws in Florida are, but doing that in many other countries will certainly get you in trouble.

You were implying the sales slowdown was because they were EVs. Now that you can't, you're just doing your usual slimy way of denying you said it and moving the goalposts.

Again you're arguing dishonestly, as you left out the end of that article: "In the company's earnings call last week, Tesla CEO Elon Musk voiced his concerns that high interest rates are making it more difficult for consumers to afford buying a car and left the door open to further price cuts in the future." High interest rates are not caused by EVs.

Actually cost of building an EV was a big issue in the recent UAW strikes. According to the Ford CEO, electric vehicles require 40% less labour to make: https://www.ft.com/content/8df00b42-4e3f-4a45-b665-2726720105e0 Although more recent studies have argued that it's not that simple - more labour hours are spent earlier in the supply chain for example (battery construction, etc) so they end up almost equal. But when the companies aggressively optimize this as they have for gasoline vehicles, they may eventually end up a lot cheaper.

Oh look, a dishonest brent argument again...must be a day that ends in 'y'. Ford is building out factories and production lines for EVs, which is why they're spending a lot and making few EVs (that's why they're building factories, duh). So this random blogger on substack just divided their annual loss associated with these costs with the number of EVs sold (random blogger did it, because Brent can't do maths) and came up with the $60,000 number. It's like building a $1-billion silicon fab, which produces and sells its first chip on December 31st, then these idiots saying that each chip that year was sold at $999.999 million below the cost of production then declaring that the business model isn't sustainable.

Let's just say your success record at making predictions is, well, absolutely abysmal. Russia taking Ukraine "by Sunday" in February last year? "Not going to be much longer" with the convoy to Kyiv? And don't say "you didn't take into account Western countries helping Ukraine", because you'd be an idiot to fail to predict that would happen. Oh wait...

No, he didn't.

This is fair - Obama should have taken more action in 2014. The rest, however, is rubbish.

Only if you've got something filling the space inside your skull. Ha!

You're really not seeing the irony of accusing other people to be neo-nazis, are you?

Is Biden the Prime Minister of the UK too? Because mortgage rates are also massively higher here. Is he President of the European Union too? Because same thing's happening over there.

Stay strong, Brent! I know you're hurting inside but it's ok to let it out.

That's on me and my careless forgetting to capitalize names properly. He might be permanently scarred, I shall have to live with what I've done.

So we have some vague secondhand reports about them, but we have YOU spouting right-wing, nazi "pureblood" nonsense right here. And you support Putin. Hmm...

Oh, the irony...

I'm not sure, you'll probably find that I use uppercase 50% of the time, then lowercase 50% of the time. I simply don't pay attention to these things. I really don't mind if you use lowercase 'olof' though.

what on earth are you talking about? Of my many digs on you, spelling your name in lowercase is NOT one of them. I'm simply very inconsistent with my own noun capitalization. I'm sorry you took that as a dig though. Do you need a space safe from people spelling your name in lowercase? Safe from that big, bad, mean olof right? (sorry, that was a small dig at you if you didn't notice, lol)

There's nothing to debate here, the very first post had absolutely no substance whatsoever. I suggest thread locking or deletion.

Yeah, you go tell everyone brent! How people perceive you is definitely something you can impose on other people! Definitely! You're such a big man and not insecure at all, right?

No, I'm not really saddened nor disheartened to see how insecure brent is with his own masculinity...
