It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Wouldn't relying on the petrochemical industry's oil refining supply chain be worse than choosing an electric bike that can be charged via off grid solar, diy hydro, or a homemade wind turbine? Making your own gasoline seems a lot harder.

I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Everything I know about the upcoming apocalypse I learned from the 1995 movie Waterworld, and Dennis Hopper’s gang seemed perfectly capable of generating their own renewable supply of gasoline with nothing more than a decades old leaky oil tanker, so it can’t be that hard.
