Winter is coming: The 'best country in the world' is planning to ban electric cars amid the energy crisis. Is it time to revisit oil stocks? Here are 3 big playsJing Pan Wed, December 7, 2022 at 5:00 PM Electric vehicles have become popular over the past few years. But EVs could take a significant hit based on what’s happening in Switzerland. [Stay ahead of the market] According to a report in the Telegraph on Saturday, the country is considering emergency measures in case of an electricity supply shortage this winter. Switzerland — the best country in the world according to a recent analysis from US News & World Report — could shorten store operating hours, lower the thermostats at buildings, and limit the private use of electric cars to “absolutely necessary journeys.” These proposed measures haven’t been passed into law just yet. But they serve as a reminder that electricity doesn’t magically appear at every wall outlet — and EVs don't run on fairy dust. Despite the increasing focus on ESG investing, traditional energy is not dead. The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) — which provides exposure to oil and gas companies — is actually up 52% year to date.

Long as we don't switch to wind farms I'm okay. One thing we can't do is kill birds. Also happy belated Thanksgiving everyone.

And when every last drop of oil has been sucked from the ground, will you be OK with looking for an alternative energy source? |

I've been OK with it all this time. It just needs to be a voluntary thing, rather than force from on high.

Are most people drinking unprocessed water in the US? They forced my area to give up their wells and tap onto the sewer and water. They promised it'd be cost effective, too. They lied.
