The real insanity isn’t how much oil prices have spiked, it’s that we’re still burning oil for energy.
@davidho I'm kind of surprised by how cheap it still is.

@jessta @davidho
it may have something to do with tens of billions of pounds in subsidies the UK government gives the fossil fuel industry

some of which goes straight back to those politicians in bribes of course

if they put that money into green tech we could have hit net zero by now

@normjess @davidho oh certainly, but also you only have to go back 3yrs to find a higher price and a 50% higher price in 2011.
