Open Roads Forum  >  General RVing Issues  > Extinction of Fossil Fuels This Topic Is Closed  |  Print Topic  |  Post New Topic  |  Oldest first Newest first  SpeakEasy • View posts Western New York Senior Member Joined: 04/22/2016 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/19/23 07:20am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Fact #1: RV'ers rely on propane. Fact #2: Propane, as currently formulated, is a fossil fuel. Fact #3: The fossil fuel industry is in the crosshairs of the climate change cult. Opinion #1: If we sit back and watch it happen, we will soon be facing legislation that will make RV-ing, as we've known it, impossible, because all fossil fuels will be extinct. If you don't believe me, just look at what we saw last week in terms of the trial balloon of making gas stoves extinct. You may think that particular issue just blew over, but here in New York State, our governor is seriously moving in that direction. With one-party rule here, I don't see anything that is going to stop her. Then, what will be her next target? So - Q#1: Is there anything we can do to protect our beloved RVing? Q#2: If propane is no longer possible, what will power our RV's? -Speak It's just Mrs. SpeakEasy and me now (empty-nesters). But we can choose from among 7 grandchildren to drag along with us! 2014 F-150 Super Crew Short Bed 3.5L Ecoboost 2014 Flagstaff Micro Lite 23LB Bumpyroad • View posts Virginia Senior Member Joined: 12/01/2005 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/19/23 07:23am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator also, no more campfires. bumpy larry cad • View posts ohio Senior Member Joined: 05/23/2004 View Profile Offline Posted: 01/19/23 07:28am Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator What you say is so true, yet there is very little we can do about this except to vote, and hope the elected persons are smart enough to understand what is going on, and move in the right direction. Today is my personal best for most consecutive days alive.

Between solar panels and large battery banks, plus a suitable generator, they seem to manage quite well between park stops.

Last time I checked generators don't run on electricity.

It seems clear that RVers will need to eventually adapt to evolving energy use. My WAG is we'll be RVing much as we are for at least 10 or 15 years which should cover it for most of us. Relax.

That's their job to contact targeted politicians and make their opinions known. No matter what the industry, these people walk the halls of congress daily trying to bend whatever ears they can. Whether it's propane, (fossil fuels) fast food, or tobacco, THEY ARE ALREADY THERE!
