Interesting to think that Donald Trump may have, completely inadvertently and at a horrific cost, finally woken up the world to how urgent it is we get off our dangerous addiction to fossil fuels.
Electrify everything.
Ban the production of gasoline-powered vehicles.
Tax oil companies dry.
Subsidize all renewables and EVs.

@petergleick it didn't happen 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine so why should it be different this time.

As an example: Germany just now abandoned legislation demanding carbon neutral heating in new buildings and actively tries to undermine the EU wide ban of new ICE vehicles starting 2035.
