>Literally no one in any large western economy is "working to expand oil and gas extraction."

The State of Wyoming has entered the chat.

Wyoming Wants to Ban Electric Vehicles by 2035 Six Republican legislators introduced a bill to phase out EV sales in the next 12 years.

Wyoming stands up for coal with threat to sue states that refuse to buy it. Republican governor says measure sends message that Wyoming is ‘prepared to bring litigation to protect her interests’.

Oh right you said large economy. Wyoming ranks 50th in GDP and is Republican shithole State welfare Queen that takes more from the Union than it contribute. Uh, carry on then.

Peak Reddit: completely ignores my comments twice about businesses based on nostalgia probably not being a great investment long term because “I love The Goonies”. You’re the one who responded to my comment calling it a “weird take” so I further explained it. If you didn’t want a response why comment?

As I’ve commented to others look at the declining fan base of Elvis over the last 20 years. Even better look at the state of the House of Cash while Johnny Cash was still alive. The article implies the premium is due to its association with the movie. It doesn’t mention how much the premium is compared to other nearby houses. That said a huge difference exist between paying a premium for something because you want it and paying a premium because you intend to make money on it.

There is a huge difference between criticizing a investment versus hoping it fails. I don’t think criticizing an investment is a bad thing. I don’t deny the size of millennials but I question if enough will actually be willing to spend money on it to justify the purchase. I mean if they rent out the house at the AVG Airbnb rate of $137 a night, manage to be booked every single night and have zero operating expenses it’ll still take over 30 years to just recoup what they paid.

As an investment I just don’t see this being worth it when you’d have better ways to invest your money over the same time period. This is also an investment against the clock since as time passes it’ll become just another house in an old movie.

You mean this wasn’t already in place? It’s kind of World War One and two overdue no? They better start hiring EMDR therapists right and left. That means having free education like Finland. Churn out the much needed shrinks and doctor lipshitz

The green policies are having a huge impact on oil consumption. US consumption is actually down since 2005, even with a significantly larger population. Decreased consumption is part of the reason we are energy independent right now.

Global oil demand is forecast to peak in the 2030s, so you’re right that it’s not right around the corner. But we will probably transition away from fossil fuels in my lifetime. Certainly in the US, but probably worldwide as well.
