Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony. “The most fossil fuel-friendly government in recent U.S. history has shown us all just how risky reliance on oil and gas can be — and taught the world that true energy security lies in accelerating toward a cleaner, electrified future.” https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/opinion/oil-crisis-iran-electric-solar.html?unlocked_article_code=1.XlA.240k.MpkE9q5FNDiG&amp;smid=nytcore-ios-share

@kralcttam@mastodon.social If the globe minimizes fossil fuel use, it also reduces the power of the petrostate despots & oil oligarchs that are attacking democracy & frying the planet. No more theocracy from Tim Dunn, Farris & Dan Wilks No more white supremacy from Koch Network. No more war on Ukraine by Putin. No more corrupt techno-fascist broligarchs. No more misogynistic wingnuts like Vance, Musk & Thiel. No more OPEC extortion.

@kralcttam@mastodon.social They're not listening to reason... actually or anything or anyone but their own mouthpieces.

@kralcttam@mastodon.social I agree if we subtitute "electrified" with "clean gasified". Electricity is not an efficient way of transferring and storing clean energy https://muratk5n.github.io/tw/en/2022/01/clean-fuel-is-the-solution.html

@kralcttam@mastodon.social So, soon all those gas-guzzelling ute-trucks will become stranded assets, unable to do what they were made to do. Lets see how EV car sales go over the next three months.
