But then Ukraine went and blew up a bunch of Russian oil processing and storage facilities, effectively stopping russia from being able to sell
So..now there's less oil overall and Iran can charge even more.
I don’t think people realize how fucked we are with the strait closed and refineries being targeted. This isn’t just a dollar or few more at the pump and higher average food costs. There is a real likelihood of energy rationing, temperature death, starvation (at least in poorer countries), and economic depression levels of fucked. This isn’t “buy an EV and you’re good” kind of situation. Goods are going to be unaffordable and solar panels will be nowhere to be found. Refineries take years to rebuild. Trump is raping, pillaging, and bankrupting us for his ego and his insider traders.
All true, but where are the headlines of Chinese companies setting up second and third shifts to crank out as many as possible solar panels and EVs to take advantage of this? Good for their profits == good for our environment
They won’t be cranking out extra solar panels for anyone but themselves.
