3. Electric cars! Our green future

Feb 2021

My son tried to buy some new Honda Electric Car and the dealers said, “in your dreams, buddy.” There is an enormous waiting list. The winter and the bad year for gasoline producers is driving up the price, but it’s also driving up the demand for the Ford F 150 Hydrid and the new all electric Ford F 150. So cheap gas is not a good thing for our green future.

If you look at commodity futures charts, seasonally, crude oil and gasoline tend to rise in price from January thru June, then slope downward from July thru December.

So, the Trumpies are whining utter bullshit, as usual.

If they had taken common sense measures to protect their power grid during cold weather gas prices would be lower.
