I'm of course all for it, and I've been attempting to spend less money for when the crunch hits. I'm glad there's bipartisan support too. And I hate to be a downer, but I think that when the right wing noise machine starts bitching even louder about how Biden sux because you can't gas up your giant pickup (not to mention the other knock-on effects), polls are gonna change

When has that ever been different. I wish this could be a real opportunity for green energy, but our addiction to everything oil is as bad as heroin

Here she is a year ago, 'supporting' Navalny at the prison he was in by talking about how nice it is. She's a Kremlin mouthpiece these dayshttps://twitter.com/christo...

Gassing up my little hatchback yesterday ran me $50. If I had one of those oversized pick-'em-up trucks I'd be walking everywhere, because I sure as hell couldn't afford to drive it.

That's nothing. The week after I did this stuff on JAG, they put me to work doing green screen for O'Quinn on Earth II. Fact.

Yeah, there should be a requirement to show prices tracking with profits to make it clear what the priority is, rather than just lip-flapping about prices being "up"

When one have so little intelligence that even a "no brainer" is beyond one's thought capabilities, they might be Louis DeJoy.

I wish they hurt when we laugh at them. They'd be in non-stop pain.

We also use way larger, less efficient vehicles of all types, and consider cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs and Razors as recreation and 'sexy' identity statements, rather than transportation. As an anthropological expedition, I went to a monster truck rally once. Unbelievably freaky. Vacation season's coming up. I'm dreading the RV invasion.

We need higher priced gasoline, even fuel oil, to accelerate the transition to higher efficiencies, renewable energy sources, and the end of wandering travel as recreation for the aimless.
