+1 Stop reliance on Russia. |
The more that electric cars become mainstream and commoditized, the more that poor people will be able to afford them too. Plus, the more electric cars, the more that gasoline demand pressures are reduced. If you really care about poor people, then it's all the more reason to push harder for electric cars. |
Yep. Trump shut us off from Venezuelan oil in 2019 but diverted that oil demand straight over to Russia instead. |
That have no range and use the coal powered grids to charge. There’s tiki farm equipment, trucks and others. |
and don't forget Iran! It was a twofor that mainly benefited Russia and Saudi Arabia. |
Interesting that imports of Russian oil shot up as soon as Biden was elected. |
Dem here. We don’t WANT higher gas prices. Why would anyone want that? We just understand a few things that Rs don’t: 1. The US president does not control gas prices. 2. We are not entitled to cheap gasoline. We pay very little compared to other countries. 3. If paying more for gas for awhile will help Ukraine, then it is worth it. It’s the least we can do. |
+1000 Completely out of touch idiots in this bubble region. Lol, a Tesla is like $50k, and.thr median hhi is only about $68k. In what world does it make sense to buy a $50k on a $68k income? The middle.xlass buys Corolla, civics, and Altimas that's cost $23k for a reason. EVs are too expensive. |

Hmmm…and is an EV really “cleaner” for the environment?

You mean when the pandemic caused demand shock started to recede. Jeebus your propaganda is tiresome. |

6.30 in Portland. If you don't have stockpiles of food I'd get it now...or don't. More for me. |
Isn’t Portland full of cyclists and walkers? |

I told off my neighbor today for letting his lawn company use gas leaf blowers. He was totally ignorant about the emissions from leaf blowers! Some people. Still, not sure he’ll change.
Republicans are why we cannot have nice things |
Imports from Russia under Biden are the highest EVER. Consumption increased - but instead of producing what we needed for increased demand - imports from Russia increased. |
