      I can understand a temporary release of some oil from the strategic reserve to meet an emergency. The Resident continues to keep the spigot turned on to address a problem that he partially caused.

      Wonder when he's going to stop emptying the reserve?

            He might be risking the reserve to try to force our hand to adopt "greener" energy initiatives.

              The Chinese decided to ask the president to destroy our reserves.

              And, since they own him and his entire family, he said, sure, no problem.

                          What will everyone do with their used gas powered vehicle?

                          Just drive them to the junkyard and leave them there?

                          There will be no used car market. You'll probably have to pay a fee to junk your old gas burner.

                                Been a long time since I tried to plow with a horse and back then daddy hooked the horse up, so I bet I'd make a total mess of it...There's an art to making the plow take the soil, not going too shallow or not digging the point in too deep. And then you have your harrow, etc.

                                I suspect I'd come closer to not starving than you would.

                                There are a jillion little things that it takes to make that type of life work and it's regionally dependent. And there are a lot of things I know how to do, but I doubt I could physically do them anymore.

                                I suspect you don't know how to do them at all.

                                  An ambitious goal with absolutely no way to practically live your life after the deadline.

                                  1. There was life before internal combustion engine was invented.
                                  2. The Amish managed.

                                  Been a long time since I tried to plow with a horse and back then daddy hooked the horse up, so I bet I'd make a total mess of it...There's an art to making the plow take the soil, not going too shallow or not digging the point in too deep. And then you have your harrow, etc.

                                  I suspect I'd come closer to not starving than you would.

                                  There are a jillion little things that it takes to make that type of life work and it's regionally dependent. And there are a lot of things I know how to do, but I doubt I could physically do them anymore.

                                  I suspect you don't know how to do them at all.

                                    Irrelevant. Many Amish do in fact use tractors…They use steel wheels, though. It’s not the technology, it’s the comfort factor.
