As @mtsw.bsky.social keeps saying, Trump is trying to make America the buyer of last resort for stranded fossil fuel assets, at the behest of his Saudi and Russian petrostate paymasters, while the rest of the world moves on to superior energy sources

Pretty sure you're right. High gas prices = Less people willing to drive. Socially it is worse for us cause we don't have as thorough of public transit etc, but it's still happening, those emissions are still going down.

The only news keeping me from killing myself /j

Trump and Elon have ruined the perception of EVs. Its incredible what Americans are letting this orange fat turd get away with.

Well here goes: Thank god for China

there's a world historic technological transformation underway, and we're busy wasting our time and capital on AI.

Unalloyed wonderful no matter how you look at it. Just spectacular news.

Gosh, it’s almost like we had a president who was making real headway on EV infrastructure in this country, but he was old and everyone belittled him until he disappeared and then they elected a dipshit instead. Wild.

This* summer

God it makes me so angry to remember that smug bullshit argument

Six months late. Yeah, the Iran-tRUmp war is reducing carbon emissions, but the cost is way too high.

Can’t wait for my child to go abroad so he can send money home and call me breathlessly “dad there’s no gas stations in Chengdu!”

Trump is helping. Voluntarily raising the price of gas is making the case for renewables all by itself.

Elon doesn't even want people to by Elon Musk's cars. Trump doesn't give a sh*t.

China makes much better EVs than Musk

I would imagine it would depend on how recently Elon had called him a pedophile. I don’t think Trump is familiar with Tesla sales trends in China

Is Tesla the ONLY EV option in the US? 2yr lease returns for GM EV's are a great deal right now!
