1. Hopefully more people will be buying electric cars...

and tell Big Oil to fuck off along with Putin.

3. A silver lining

I remember when people bought Prius like crazy when gas was $5 last round.

Maybe Biden can finally get the subsidies going for electric vehicle purchases.

10. I know people love their

cars.. I did. It just stopped working for me back in 2008ish. Now I'm grateful on this small Island that I'm not driving.

Like the Suggestion was offered.. Try to buy Electric.. Stick it to Big Greedy Oil

I wonder if this World Crisis will facilitate that change?

12. Yet as Psaki succinctly told a Faux Snooze reporter last week - they have 9000 approved drill leases

that they haven't bothered to take advantage of, let alone all the wells that they drilled who knows how long ago that they capped and then moved onto a new place to drill. And that is not counting the tens of thousands that are uncapped and abandoned when the shale oil craze hit the scene, making their adding to the output, less profitable.

In fact, AP estimated that there were some 2 million abandoned oil and gas wells across the U.S. and neighboring waters, many causing a slow-motion ecological disaster where they are located and not maintained.
