I'm happy that oil prices are going up - Lemmy.World

Lemmy

Why?
Because of climate change and my hatred of breathing in diesel fumes when a truck passes by. I want to see more efficient electric vehicles. With gas prices high the alternative becomes more viable, and it exposes how volatile fossil fuels are.
Not a lot of massive cargo ships are gonna stop using bunker fuel in favour of turning electric. And that’s just one example.
Well, we’re either going to have to find a way, or we’re all dead. So maybe higher gas prices are a small price to pay for the literal salvation of the species.
