Gas has been too cheap for a while now, there are way too many pick up trucks on the road.

Agreed. When gasoline gets expensive enough American suddenly find common sense. Personally I think this is another major turning point for renewable energy.
Too bad the current goon in charge has killed all renewable projects in the US because he hates windmills.

I just don’t think that really helps. Yeah they are stupid gas guzzlers for idiots, but if you’re dumb enough to spend that much money on a truck and the insane upkeep, what is a bit gas money gonna do? It’s just an extra expense for the privilege of looking dumb.

Squeezed from both sides: gas prices going up. Electric prices also going up (AI datacenters)

Even if electricity costs doubled, it would still only cost me 20 bucks a month to run my EV.

They just added a few trillion to the debt pile and pumped up a crazy AI bubble while shooting inflation up already with tarrifs, and continues to alienate all (former) allies, suppliers and export market. What’s the worst they can happen, right? It’s not like suddenly rising oil prices can trigger bubbles popping /s

I will be driving around to various gas stations putting these stickers up next weekend. In the deepest reddest part of the south.
I hated it when they put those Biden stickers out during/just after covid. One of the vape/cbd shops i used to buy from weekly put a Biden “i did that” sticker on their credit card pin pad.
I never went back.

All the more reason to switch to renewables as much and as soon as possible.

This really helps Russia.
Thank you saying the obvious part out loud.

Do they not buy groceries?
Wait for a electricity price rise and a peak demand for PV.
Naturally
Wait until you find out diesel still runs the entire rest of your society
Not a great idea in a petroleum based society. Everything has petroleum and plastic; tires, shoes, packaging, clothes, even chewing gum.
