The Jets don't have a goalie problem, if that's what you're implying. https://moneypuck.com/goalies.htm Hellebuyck's still performing quite well despite of the issues plaguing the team (defensive zone lapses, missed assignments/coverage, and very inconsistent 200 ft. play).

Not to mention the fact that the Biden administration has been clear on this project for well over a year now... Oh, another fact: TC Energy, the developer/owner of the pipeline, abandoned the project altogether last June.

It's not like the Jets aren't a playoff team, either. Such a streaky team. It's just baffling.

Pretty rich commentary from someone who was quoted as saying the following: "Madame Speaker, a silent genocide has slipped beneath the conscience of America. Precious works of our creator formed and set apart meet death before they breathe life. Eternal souls, woven into earthen vessels, sanctified by Almighty God, and endowed with the miracle of life are denied their birth by a nation born of freedom. God's breath of life blown away by the breath of man." What a ******* jerkstore.

You're not an ignorant dummy at all. I'd say that's a pretty valid set of questions to ask. IMO, it'll probably a combination of both (hybrid fuel/charging stations) as ICE vehicles get gradually phased out in the coming decades. I'm not sure of the environmental implications and disposal requirements of fossil fuel infrastructure (holding tanks, piping, pumps, etc.) but it would likely make the most sense to reuse those existing locations where feasible and install EV charging infrastructure. Plenty of moving parts involved but this isn't reinventing the wheel, so I see it being a relatively smooth transition. This seems like a practical approach. I fully expect The Pas and Thompson to get EV charging infrastructure sooner than later. It only seems like a logical step to put that in remote hubs as we see more EVs on the roads.

The Jets play again tomorrow against the Islanders, hence Comrie starting tonight.

The chip shortage has significantly affected industries around the world, vehicle production in particular (regardless of propulsion system).

IIRC, he was poisoned in Munich and died shortly after. He remains a controversial figure to this day in Ukraine.

While I agree there are many good Russian people who are disgusted by Putin and his actions, and want peace and cooperation with the rest of the world, I think @Bigblue204 was referring to the malicious ones brainwashed by disinformation and propaganda, blindly supportive of Putin and his and inner circle, falling prey to the narrative Ukraine is controlled by nazis and needs to be liberated, and guilty of spreading that poison to every corner of the online world. There seems to be a parallel there to our own group of misinformed, fearful, hysterical, conspiracy theory spouting assclowns here in Canada, many of whom participated in the protests tantrums roughly a month ago and spent the previous few years going down rabbit holes of utter nonsense and sharing that cancerous garbage on every major social media platform. And it's only getting worse, IMO. Many of these misguided imbeciles are under the impression there's some sinister agenda at play in Ukraine and that Putin is somehow on the side of good. It's completely batshit and it seems like they're too far gone to even be reasoned with anymore. Information warfare has become significantly more prominent in geopolitics the last few decades, first with the dawn of the internet and then with social media. With the lack of oversight and challenges related to regulation, the online world became a crucial battleground. It should come as no surprise that a former KGB agent could use this new reality to his advantage in undermining western democracy as he rose to power in post-Soviet Russia.

Dave Randorf is a ******* dork. EDIT: didn't realize he left SN to become the Lightning PBP commentator. Still a dork, though.

That's somewhat irrelevant. The difference now (the Holocene Epoch) is the loss of life is a direct result of our activities as species. We're accelerating the extinction level event by our own hand.

EV technology is still relatively new. It's constantly improving, though. (https://www.motortrend.com/features/tech-trends-battery-fuel-cell-motors/)

He was a solid NAT and had a pretty decent career. I always forget he got a ring with the Eskies in 2015.

Practically an impossible task (MoneyPuck has the Jets at 7% chance to make the playoffs - https://moneypuck.com/predictions.htm) Highly entertaining game last night, in any event. This team has the horses to compete but it's the consistency that's lacking.

You don't seem to know much about Norway. You have seem to have absolutely no idea how taxation functions. You also seem to think subsidies are bad but only when it's EV producers getting them.

The cognitive dissonance is stunning. I'd be more inclined to laugh about it if it wasn't derailing this thread. An EV manufacturer getting gov't support is bad. An O&G producer getting gov't support is ostensibly okay because it's been that way for ages. The ****.
