Democrats call them fossil fuels

I know. They aren't fossils. Liquids and gases are not fossils.

Until you look at an actual plant developed on that sort of land like Ivanpah in California. There, they had to do a massive environmental impact study that took years, then had to buy additional land and move hundreds of desert tortoises, an endangered species, etc., etc., etc. Farmland is easier to work with. In Arizona, farmland along the Gila River between Casa Grande and Yuma has become prime real estate for solar for those reasons.

That plant cost $2.2 billion and only has a capacity of a measly 392MW. It provides ZERO power at night. During the day, it is also an aviation hazard (due to intense glare). It is marked on the aviation charts. It also has a problem with hawks and eagles getting literally roasted in seconds in mid flight as they fly over the facility. It is also expensive to maintain, as the mirrors are damaged by fairly common sandstorms and must be replaced.

Coal plants can easily produce ten times the capacity of Ivanpah, take up a lot less space, are a lot cheaper to build, and can produce power 24/7.

Just buy aircraft fuel

It ain't cheap.

There is a station here that sells racing fuel. When trump was president it cost $10 a gallon i have not priced it lately

There are many different kinds of racing fuel. Which one were you pricing?

Fossil fuels are composed of plant and animal remains from millions of years ago. Fossil fuels whether oil. gases or coals are determined by the type of fossil animal or plant, and the heat and pressure it was formed under.

Unlike the Israeli scum the Russians actually do have a case for occupying the Donbas and Crimea.
Also, although occupation and annexation are illegal, occupation is accepted on a temporary basis as a means of self-defense. There is nothing temporary about Israel's occupation - as the ICC is just about to reaffirm.

Russians and towelheads...this is some world that we're stuck on.
No wonder I don't like to leave Boston anymore.
It's a sanctuary city for the mentally functional.

It was at a Sunoco gas station

Sunoco is not a racing fuel. I take it that you don't know what kind of fuel it was. Perhaps it would help if you could describe the type of racing the fuel is used for.

A fossils is an image of a plant or animal in stone, dumbass. There are no fossils in a liquid or a gas.
Oil is found well below any fossils layer. So is natural gas.
Coal is also found well below any fossil layer. While coal may have fossils embedded within it, it is not itself a fossil. It is carbon, a chemical element. Impurities may include various other stone, sulfur (another element), mercury (another element), etc. These are removed.

You are ignoring the Fischer-Tropsche process again. No animal or plant is necessary to produce a hydrocarbon. All you need is a source of carbon (such as carbon dioxide), hydrogen, heat, pressure, and an iron catalyst. All naturally occurring conditions underground.
Oh...and oil wells pumped dry can be capped, opened a year or two later, and it's full of oil again.

Oil is not a fossil.
Natural gas is not a fossil.
Coal is not a fossil (though it may have fossils emedded within it). Fossils don't burn.

That is funny since that is what NASCAR uses

That is funny since that is what NASCAR uses

NASCAR has all different kinds of races that use different kinds of fuel. Sunoco is not a racing fuel. It is a fuel supplier. They provide a range of fuels. You can drive up to a Sunoco gas station with your car today and buy fuel from them for your car. Sunoco has an exclusive contract to provide fuel for NASCAR and other racing organizations. If you race in NASCAR, you are buying fuel from Sunoco, and you are buying a particular fuel from Sunoco.

Some racing fuels are leaded, others are not. They have several different octane ratings. NASCAR standardized it's octane and moderator.

It's starting to sound like you want Green E15, which has an octane of 98 and is unleaded, using ethanol for it's moderator. This stuff is actually very similar to what you buy at a normal gas pump (other than the green dye)...except you were touting the advantages of leaded fuel, and the Green E15 fuel is not leaded. It is, however, a standard fuel for NASCAR races. The dye is there to help prevent competitors from using a 'funny' fuel in their cars to get an advantage.

That fuckwit Rashida Tlaib needs to be Khashoggied, is MbS available as for human garbage disposal?

Elon Musk agrees with JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon that it will take 50 years to transition to green energy

Dimon previously clashed with Rep. Rashida Tlaib after she demanded the bank terminate all financing to oil and gas projects

J.P. Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon cautioned policymakers should not rush the transition to green energy and argued that the world will be reliant on oil and gas for another 50 years during an interview on CNBC from Davos Thursday.

"Climate is a serious issue that should be taken seriously. And by the way we're not doing a good job at it," Dimon said.

"We need oil and gas," Dimon continued. "It's a hundred million barrels a day that are used by the world to heat fuel, feed people."

When asked for what length of time, Dimon responded "for 50 years".

The Brit terrorist appears to have a preference for foreign assassins to butcher US Congresswomen.
