electric and alternative vehicles represent growth, which is what stock markets are looking for.

Tesla sold more vehicles in the first quarter of 2018 than they did in all of 2017.

367% yoy growth.

legacy vehicles face only declining sales and the oil industry faces only declining profits.

the big term now in oil and gas is stranded assets.

stranded assets are what will be in the ground in Fort Mac long after oil is finished as fuel source.

In my neck of the woods, little Suzy sold 8X more lemonade on the side of the street this summer than last summer.


Interestingly enough, she made more $$ than Tesla at $0.25 per dixie cup.


... The profit comparison kinda puts things into perspective, eh?

You heard a term that you clearly don't understand.


Stranded for some are accessible for others.


I'm more than happy that foreign O&G companies are selling off at a steep discount.... Helluva good opportunity for guys like me

Still need oil to make plastic cars.

The Ford/VW/Rivian partnership is gonna crush Tesla.

I think that ultimately Hydrogen fuel cells will be the future of automotive. Especially when governments quit giving away money for electric toys.

Fukk you are stupid. 20 billion is not that much money anymore. I know compared to your welfare cheque it looks big but it ain't.
