Climate change could mean the extinction of our species

Gasoline is now down 26 cents / gal from last Tuesday. Still too high (and the 110 Octane I need for my DVC is over $10 / gal), but we will get back to 2019 levels soon enough, and that WILL lower prices on Everything that needs to be shipped around the planet.

Europe will now take steps to import US NatGas instead of ruisian exports.

Seriously?

Where does the EU’s gas come from? - Consilium

This reminds me of Rupert Murdoch's prediction that the Iraq invasion would lead to oil prices falling to $20 a barrel. In fact, they ended up rising as high as $140.

As some wise person said, "Never make predictions, especially about the future".

I suggest you write to your King and his Prince, who both seem to have a direct line to Vladimir Putin that they use on a regular basis, or maybe it's ok for you Americans to fist the Russians while you complain that Europeans get barely 3% of their gas resources from Russia, presumably because they are foolish enough to honour contracts that were signed before Trump and Musk's boyfriend went rogue.

It wasn't always 3% and russian oil is still exported into europe as well.

I don't have a king, and neither does any US citizen. we took care of that about 250 years ago.

Gasoline here was about 99 cents / gal for permium back in 2003. I had two cars that Required premium fuel, so I remember that quite well. Then when o took over it shot up to some $4 / gal, then back down under Trump to about $1.85 / gal, then to nearly $5 / gal under the demented dolt, and it's still more than $1.25 higher then back at the end of 2019. These are FL prices, not CA where it was $1.5-$2.5 higher. I still have one car that Requires premium 93 octane plus 2-3 gallons per tank of 110 octane just to run it safely. The other 3 cars run better on premium, but won't damage themselves on regular (87 octane).

Yeah, 4 cars, and only because I can't fit 5.

Climate denial a unifying theme of Trump’s cabinet picks, experts say
Loyalists selected for important roles have offered staunch support to fossil fuels and downplayed climate crisis:

Do you think it's going to help if the US abandons clean energy and leaves China to dominate the market? https://www.politico.com/news/2024/1...na-us-00191049

Unless you are proposing to do away with capitalism, the issue isn't whether people make money. It's whether they make money out of things that adversely affect the rest of society.

We are not abandoning clean energy. Our energy production is orders of magnitude clean than china and india.
