Drive an electric car if you can’t afford gas prices. If Biden was president rn y’all would’ve praised this as a clever strategy to drive up EV adoption and tackle climate change

Yeah if Biden was president and did 2 regime changes over a few months span with one of them specifically being for oil that was worthless and the other accidentally killing the supply chain of oil while also dragging us back into the Middle East again I’d totally think it was some well thought out plan for the sake of EVs and climate change

That’s a very small fraction of power generation in the US rn. Dgmw I’m a huge advocate for increasing that, but as it stands it’s mostly coming from fossil fuels

Plus it depends where you’re at. Places without wind/solar infrastructure rely mostly on coal plants in the interior and oil in coastal areas

Really depends on where you live. For some areas, a substantial part (but not quite the majority) of it is nuclear energy and renewables, and that makes a difference compared to burning gas
