Spending less time on world news since US voters re-elected a rapist/convicted felon, who tried to end democracy, but who Americans decided to give a mulligan, cuz democracy shlemocracy right? Occasionally I’ll come across something that I feel compelled to share, but… …these days… I've stopped my dreaming …these days I sit on corner stones & count the time in quarter tones to ten

The money that #oil companies accrued between the beginning of April & the end of June could receive extra scrutiny this year. #Gasoline, #diesel & #JetFuel prices climbed sharply during that period, increasing costs for drivers & airline passengers. Supplies ran low in some countries, leading to sporadic #fuel #rationing in Australia & government office closures in Nepal & Sri Lanka.

Landmark #MIT study debunks persistent myths about #electricvehicles
Think #EV don't make sense in cold climates, or dirty power grid cancels out benefits? Researchers find opposite is true—EVs cost no more to own than a comparable gas car almost anywhere in #US
No matter where you live in US or what your driving habits are, #electricvehicle is likely to have a smaller #carbonfootprint and cost less overall than comparable #gasoline-powered vehicle, according to analysis.

"The #oil shock🚨 from the #IranWar hasn’t hit all households equally.
Wealthy Americans are consuming just as much gas while spending way more.
Lower-income Americans, on the other hand,🚨have had to cut back on driving to cope with higher prices."

This is exciting that the last major holdout of leaded gasoline/petrol -- aviation -- is happening with a target of 2030.
This can't help but be a good thing for the environment.
