If you would like to increase the cost of energy, oil, gas and electricity, what would you do? It is really all a game of supply and demand.
1. Reduce production of electricity. Stop wind, solar, hydro through bans, tarifs and reduction of incentives.
2. Create bottlenecks in the distribution of energy.
3. Create uncertainty in the energy markets.
4. Reduce incentives for EVs.
IMHO we need to do the opposite. We need to invest in wind, solar, hydro and various new technologies and we need to do it quickly.
We need to continue to move towards EVs at pace. f you are not driving an EV, remember to be thankful for those that do, as that reduces your gas prices, through supply and demand.
Oil has been ruining our planet in more ways than one. The sooner we stop relying on oil, the better.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net I would love to get an EV but those things are huge spyware devices you'd think they were all engineered by Meta.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net "EV" does not say how the electricity is produced, how the energy is stored, how it is virtuous on energy and material impact. Be thankful to the ones using and faciliting public transports, transports without motor, and countries investing in true Research.

@jon@social.vivaldi.net Train, bicycle, walking, bus, & electric scooter should all have bigger priory than an EV. Roads are polluting. Tires are polluting. Batteries are polluting. Most people should not need to own a car to simply get around town.
