Propane, from the gas in a well - capture it, light it, it burns and heat
is released. There are tons of calories in oil or natural gas.

I find it difficult to believe that we are once again being drawn into the
argument that the grid cannot support the demand for EV's.
Society has been in this situation several times since the early 1900's.
With each new electrical product's popularity (televisions, refrigerators,

Well, once again, it looks like the thread has strayed from EV's into

Entirely true and as it should be, after all we elect our leaders and they are
supposed to follow the will of the people. And if we don't think they are

I found a lot of faults with his assessment, but he's a sharp guy.
He doesn't understand that even if coal powers an EV it's still cleaner
than ICE. He also doesn't think the grid can support EVs, which is also
not true.
As far as materials, when there's a demand, the market will provide.

I can't evaluate this. But I approve of the broad stroke analysis.
He thinks it could take a century to replace ICE with EVs. Among other
