re filthy oil industry:
Oil Spills in Nigeria Could Kill 16,000 Babies a Year
far right pro lifers should be enraged by this news & there are many online links to prove there were more such leakages in Nigeria
Poor me? Because I read what I post?
From the OP:
Rare metals only exist in tiny quantities and inconvenient places—so you have to move a lot of earth to get just a little bit. In the Jiangxi rare earth mine in China, Abraham writes, workers dig eight-foot holes and pour ammonium sulfate into them to dissolve the sandy clay. Then they haul out bags of muck and pass it through several acid baths; what’s left is baked in a kiln, leaving behind the rare earths required by everything from our phones to our Teslas.
At this mine, those rare earths amounted to 0.2 percent of what gets pulled out of the ground. The other 99.8 percent—now contaminated with toxic chemicals—is dumped back into the environment. That damage is difficult to quantify, just like the impact of oil drilling.

No, 1889. It was easier to fill the valleys than move mountains. The idea of improvements and levelling was nixed by Grover Cleveland. He wanted grapes.
Maybe you could buy one of these. In a few years you might not have a choice.

And then there is this good news. Got any more straws to clutch?
Electric Cars May Rule the World’s Roads by 2040
https://news.nationalgeographic.com/2017/09/electric-cars-replace-gasoline-engines-2040/
Wow "may"... In those 22 years how many more internal combustion engines will hit the streets?
So...what do you owe me for your wager you lost?

More good news for electric cars. Batteries a problem? Don't like the fact that lithium batteries require rare earths? Then the future is probably one of these.

The guy thinks oil subsidies are a hoax.
That's the level of stupid you're dealing with here.
Keep knocking him out.
I think he caused the Panic of 1893 and failed to improve the economy. That's why the Grange Movement and Coxey's Army opposed him so much. This, in turn, led to the re-emergence of the Republican party.
I'd rather have infrastructure improvement rather than grapes.
My neighbour claims he has a 1.21 Gwh Flux Capacitor.
TKO
I hope he doesn't get shot by the CIA like the guy who invented to 70mpg carburetor.
Traffic congestion is nasty. Even with electric cars, congestion is still an energy gobbler.

they should have put a mass transit system in SF after the Civil War, not just cable cars
No. He found a hole full of damaged electrons. And holes, as in SS holes one finds in silicone or germanium.
Hills and mountains are solid state. In that environment, holes move and electrons don't. Tony left his heart there, metaphorically speaking, to plug a hole.

It's fun poking him. I don't expect him to ever admit he's wrong; even though by now even he should be able to read the writing in the wall. But then again he could be a flat-earther.
I don't recall a wager about anything. But since mass produced cars are already on the streets I would guess you have already lost if that is what you are talking about.
Oil industry - enough said.
How about less pollution? If there is a more destructive industry on earth than the extraction of fossil fuels I've yet to here about it.
