Some points on internal combustion engines that I've yet to hear anyone discuss:
1) The 60 year engineering battle to take ICEs from being heavy, noisy, short-life, low efficiency smog machines to lightweight, compact, quiet, long-life, highly efficient, virtually pollutant free (yes - CO2 and water are not pollutants) was won - and immediately declared wholly unacceptable by a minority of loudmouthed fools
2) The damage done to the auto industry due to the abject foolishness of those in the EPA, who with contempt for reality ignored technical readiness and return on invest, forced CAFE and emissions regulations years before they could be profitably and reliably achieved
3) The government (US & EU) virtue signalling and spiteful punishment of VW (and others later on) in the dieselgate "scandal". A half-million diesel cars in the US, and roughly 10.5 million more worldwide, were recalled, with roughly 400k in US being scrapped. This is directly tied to the above comment - too much, too soon, economically unachievable. The vast majority of owners of those highly fuel-efficient, almost maintenance free cars loved them, and most were forced into less efficient vehicles. That generation of cars, while not meeting an arbitrary emissions target, was still clean relative the those vehicles they replaced. What is the environmental impact from the 400k scrapped US cars?
I remember you explaining what the corrupt FBI did to you that day. I then realized you were one of the good guys. I have listened to your subtract ever since. Thank you for fighting for freedom!
Great interview with Mike Huckabee. I wish Huckabee would have you on for the FULL hour!
Dr. N - so concise and on point!

Substack.
I watched the interview. It was a long time coming.
Great voice of reason 👏👏👏
I love you, Peter!!~
Keep it up, don't give up.
Plus, you are very brave!!
