    Electric locomotives are used for passenger trains on Amtrak's Northeast Corridor between Washington, DC, and Boston, with a branch to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, and on some commuter rail lines. Mass transit systems and other electrified commuter lines use electric multiple units, where each car is powered.

    And they freak out about oil "running out", even though it is a very plentiful and renewable resource, yet they don't freak out about lithium "running out", even though it is a less plentiful and non-renewable resource.

    Progressives??? More like Regressives...

    You are incorrect again, per usual. It is very largely diesel powered trains that do that work.

    No, even a locomotive as charismatically-named as the GE Big Blow can’t stand against contemporary E-Trains. Still, when the locomotive debuted in 1955, it rocked (literally) with 8,500 horsepower emanating from a three-car set-up. The first held the control cab and a diesel generator; the second, an enormous oil-burning ten-combustion chamber gas turbine engine; the last, 24,000 gallons of fuel. That 8,500-horsepower rating was at an altitude of 6,500 feet and at 90 degrees. During cool months and at sea level, the Big Blow could push as many as 10,000.

    "In the United States, 90% of onshore oil production takes place on land that isn’t owned by the federal government. And of the remaining 10% that occurs on federal land, the oil and gas industry has millions of acres leased," Biden said. "They have 9,000 permits to drill now. They could be drilling right now, yesterday, last week, last year. They have 9,000 to drill onshore that are already approved."

    Private land is not public land.
    Leases are not permits.

    Yup, Demokrats are going to have an INCREDIBLE transition from majority party to minority party in November. Could make the historic shellacking they received in 2010 pale in comparison...

    They're not but they are choosing to moving operation elsewhere. I mean Biden is trying to work a deal with Chevron and Venezuela right now. Chevron wouldn't be interested if it wasn't cheaper to drill and transport due to regulations. Do you believe Venezuela has as many green regulations on drilling as America?

    They aren't (yet), but they are making it much more difficult to profit due to numerous regulatory hurdles and not allowing or otherwise sitting on the issuance of permits, for starters. It is harder to profit under such conditions. The big knockout blow would be implementing price controls on oil/gasoline.

    Republicans did this.
    Republicans did this.
    Democrats did this (due to their racism). Republicans stood against it.
    Republicans did this.
    There is no right to murder. Murder is not healthcare.
    There is no such thing as "same sex marriage". There is only marriage, and marriage can only exist between a man and a woman, as it is an institution that is intendent upon the duties and responsibilities of procreation. Attempting to understand marriage in a manner apart from that is to make marriage a completely irrelevant and unnecessary institution.

    I just did. What, to you, seems hypocritical is simply fact. Trump put us in this position with playing fast and loose with oil by crashing the market and making a deal with the Saudi's and then trying to get out of it and said FU. Them's the facts. Dems wouldn't do anything so stupid.

    Do you really not realize that these parties changed over time? That southern democrats joined the republicans?

    An embryo has no mind, therefore it's not a person, therefore it shouldn't be considered murder.

    Marriage is a contract to hold people in a romantic partnership accountable to and responsible for each other. There's no real need to get married to share responsibility for children, the law requires it by default even if unmarried. There is no legal requirement to procreate in order for marriage to be valid. Heterosexual married couples are not required to procreate.

    So then getting back to the original premise.......how is Biden responsible for today's gas prices? It would seem he is not.

    Wait.....what? Oil is "plentiful and renewable"? Where does that BS come from?
    As of 2015 there is estimated to be enough lithium to last for 395 years.

    LOL in other words you admit it's less environmentally friendly drilling for oil in Venezuela and more profitable due to regulatory factors Biden is supporting. Biden is literally brokering a deal with Chevron to drill in Venezuela so Chevron can be profitable and produce more oil and hasn't had a lease sale in America, the first President not to have one in 50 years!!! Biden wants oil, Biden wants Chevron to make money, Biden wants the cost for Gas to be high as he has told us over and over and hopefully this pushes us to more electric that the lower income earners can't afford, which also causes rises in everyday products including food ensuring the poor and middle class is worst off.
