Electric vehicle and solar panel enjoyers:
Unfortunately, gasoline woes will ripple through nearly every commodity or grocery that you partake in. If you’re truly off grid, it probably won’t do much. But as long as you shop from grocery stores or buy things period, you’re gonna feel it a little. Not as much as a gas-guzzler, but you’ll feel it.
I mean I’m just piss posting and I’m deeply concerned for how it is going to impact my community, which is extremely impoverished and working class, and often have super long commutes.
Yeah a friend of mine was shocked when she asked me about my position on data centers and I basically told her IDGAF. I then had to remind her that I have a 21KW solar array and 45kwh of battery storage. My carbon usage is net negative.

Remember all the “I did that” stickers? Yeah… those assholes are oddly quiet now.
The same ones who harassed and terrorized drag queens for being groomers, they’re outside the white house protesting the orange turd for and his cronies for being kid-diddlers right…right?
Funny enough, I think it MIGHT not have been about “protecting the children” at all.
It’s ironic that a guy who hates “chy-nah” so much and wants to “drill”, has likely done more to push Chinese cars worldwide, and EV’s than any other president in history.
Whilst quality of life has dropped, he’s also done an amazing job in pushing the AUD upwards vs USD too
It’s like he doesn’t understand markets, trade, geopolitics, or just basic business.
Not like we didn’t know that about him before he got elected. The first time.
Yeah he really made my BYD and CATL investments take off.
made my BYD and CATL investments take off.
BYD is not in good financial shape.
The problem is those thin margins and Chinese competition.
Long term they do, and they are the best placed for EVs in the future(especially since Elon went full Nazi at one point)
There are a more of US brands they’ll likely kill off I suspect
My friend worked and Nissan and he expects them to be gone soonish (he now works MG).
And the 4wd repair shop here in Australia doesn’t expect Jeep to be around in 10 years either
Whereas, I think everyone expects byd to be around in 10 years
All because of one low IQ pedo and the members of Congress and the public that support that pedo.
And still about 30% of voters…
It’s even worse. It’s 50% of voters. 30% of the population
All because of blackmail controlling that low IQ pedo.
Thanks Obama! – 50% of the voters because propaganda
Will that have an impact on the trump phone I pre-ordered?
Nah, they have plenty of gas in Ghina.
Wait for the food prices to follow.
I would say that’s lights out for Republicans in the midterm elections, but we are well into full irrationality in this country at this point.
If you do the conversion, gasoline is about 8.22 per gallon in Europe.
11.26 USD per gallon here in the Netherlands.
My daughter is paying (really I am) a bit more than that in Munich, they hit 12 a coulple of weeks ago for diesel.
That was peice before the war. It’s 11 usd/gallon now
Where are you from in Europe? The price here is 8.22 a gallon at the moment, but we expect it to go up again a bit on Monday.
“Thanks Obama”
I don’t feel sorry for Americans. You voted this orange turd in. While the rest of the world suffers as well
To be clearly, only about a 1/3rd of us voted for him. And realistically, of the registered voters, only a small percentage can actually influence the outcome by way of being in “swing states”.
But yah, I’m pretty fucking pissed at pensilvanians who wrote in Mickey Mouse because they thought it was funny.
I’m personally not that upset about gas prices going up as I can not afford a car anyways.
K but somehow seems less important than the fact that Donald Trump raped and trafficked children and the Republican Party is protecting him.
With that said, sucks it’s going to cost so much to light him on fire after dumping gasoline on him, but it’s worth it. Think of the children.
You meant “more important”, right?
No? I think the fact a child rapist has been allowed to be President is of greater concern than rising gas prices. That between the two gas prices are less important than the fact the child rapist hasn’t been excised from office and preferably killed in such a way as to set an example to the rest of the Epstein Class.
Unless I fucked up that sentiment somehow in my previous post?
I agree that the stuff about trump is more important than gas prices therefore i wanted to correct your first sentence. You meant it seems that people care more about gas prices than the child rapist in power. So you should have written “more”, not “less”, if you meant it the way you just explained.
Okay no, you partially misunderstood/misread my comment. It was written more as a tongue in cheek reply to the Title. Another way to put the first of my original sentence is “K but (Gas Prices) somehow seems less important than…”
I wrote it exactly how I meant it. If I replaced it with more not less it would read out “K but (Gas Prices) somehow seems more important than…” in which case I would be saying the exact opposite of what I mean.
The Original version is correct.
Got it
I am fortunate in that I don’t have to buy gas for my car all that often because I don’t drive a ton, but I’ll have to this week and I am not looking forward to it.
The good news is that it’ll be months/years before it ever gets back down to where it was two months ago 🫠
You’re not immune. Don’t forget, the machines that farm, process and deliver everything into your mouthhole all need to pay for fuel also.
I drive 30,000+ miles a year because of a shitty commute and driving a couple hundred miles out of town most weekends to help my parents.
And since I rent I really can’t go electric.
Its just to hasten transition to electric vehicles. 8D chess
Donald Trump, greatest agent of the Green Energy Revolution in our lifetime.
Man do I wish billionaires actually had to pay for things.
