Master Political Energy Thread

[Dugout DickStone]

Yeah, but it’s not a big deal like people act like it is I think. It’s not like barrels of green ooze leaking into the soil. It’s tiny amounts of radioactive metals encased in concrete blocks. There’s not a lot of risk associated with it if it’s entombed right is what I’ve read.

We will never have the ninja turtles or any of the cool super mutants if we don't get the barrels of green ooze leaking.

So much for Blinky

Definitely but still I don't think anyone wants it stored near them

Can’t be any worse than whatever wild crap they are cooking up inside NBAF

If you wanna know what they’re cooking up just look inside, it’s just a big glass box

a big talking point on Meade facebook is red diesel and everyone just use it because the government caused the energy prices to go high and nobody will ever catch you

My grandpa got caught using red diesel in a grain truck once. IIRC it wasn't cheap

[steve dave]

well, let me tell you what's also not cheap. IRL DIESEL.

all the meade ks magas are discussing making sure to clear the tanks before going to 1) rodeos 2) the city (dodge or garden being the cities) 3) cattle sales. apparently these are hot spots for getting nailed for red diesel.

It’s high time western Kansas puts the “auto” back in vehicle autonomy. My motor my choice

Tell them to change the fuel filters too

i don’t even know what red diesel is

[steve dave]

it's diesel that's red colored because there are no fuel taxes on it or something. as a kid I just thought diesel was red because we have our own diesel tanks and it's all red and we fill tractors and trucks with it. but then also people just use it in their pickups to avoid paying fuel taxes and that's illegal. but I think a lot of people just do it because who's actually going to stop you most of the time. obviously easier when you have your own fuel tanks for legitimate red diesel. probably get in trouble if you pull up to the Casey's red pump and fill up your F350.
