> We can’t afford healthcare because they revoked the subsidies but at least we now also can’t afford gasoline too!
replyBut we can easily affort 500+ million per day for faraway foreign wars! That, no problem.
While this isn't the best way to address the issue, the US is way too dependent on gasoline/diesel for transportation. It's not sustainable.
replyBeing unsustainable isn’t the same as breaking within the lifetime of the people making the decisions. The average US senator is 66, and that’s young compared to the current Supreme Court or the sitting President.
replyMaybe Trump is secretly for "the green agenda" and this was all part of the plan to stop oil.
replyHe had that big falling out with Elon so that he can't be accused of pandering to him when electric car sales go through the roof.
I have also heard that this is really "big oil's" plan, they always manage to cause a huge price spike just when green energy is about to take over the market, somehow this stops the green revolution and forces everyone to go back to using fossil fuels.
