High plastic prices might be just what we need to reconsider our extensive use of it. Same with oil.

Wouldn’t it be funny if after all his bluster trump did more good for the climate by accident than anyone ever did on purpose?

Now he just needs to see that electrification allows him the space he needs on Iran. If he convinces his base to give up oil he might accidentally save us all.

imagine what fuel and packaging costs are going to be like by xmas

it's sucking billions of dollars additional out of the economy daily

even if war ended this week, which it most certainly won't even by next month, the prices would remain for many months
