@admin@detroitriotcity.com There is now a greater than zero chance that the war escalates to the point where Saudi Arabia and the other big oil producers in the region have their ability to export oil - or even drill for it - completely destroyed. Between that and cutting off Russia the switch to electric is going to go exponential. Oh, and they will be building nuclear plants and vast solar arrays in the southwest to handle the surging demand. At least until the Democrat takes office in January 2029.
