In some ways, we should be grateful to Trump.

Thanks to his illegal Iranian war, he has done more to accelerate the energy transition than anyone else alive.

Fossil fuel companies bankrolled his presidential campaign to stop the transition in its tracks. But when you back a volatile narcissist, unable to concentrate for more than a few minutes at a time, you shouldn’t expect to control the outcome. And the outcome is, interest in renewables, EVs and battery storage around the world is surging exponentially.

Anlthough it's not the way we wanted it to unfold, we should be grateful to him for this.

Electric vehicle is supposed to run 250 to 300 miles on one charge which is fairly good at an average of $20 a charge, definitely cheaper for now anyway...... If all vehicles become electric prices will skyrocket......

The groups and electric companies has been trying to get away from oil and gas for a few decades, they have almost managed to get rid of gas stoves and gas heaters, only the older buildings may have them..... with or without any war the world / countries using totally electricity energy is on the verge.

So everybody, even those who can't afford them, need to be sure they have a generator or two / by then all generators will be all solar power also and expensive batteries...... To when the snow storm come / the hurricane come / the tornadoes come / the floods come and knock out electricity there will be big problems, especially in the winter time.

But mankind will be eliminating some pollution in the air, on the land and sea by eliminating gas and oil usage.
