Imagine if we had learned from the oil embargo 50 years ago and had taxed gas even half this much to build ways to get around that didn't require gas. And built things closer together.
Witness the transformation of Rue de Trévise from car storage to shared community space.

We've only had 50 years since the oil embargo to reduce our risk exposure, instead government keep on coercing car dependancy.
Several of the report’s authors previously studied the effects on American life spans of the Great Recession beginning in 2008. In a surprising finding, they concluded that the recession had extended Americans’ life spans — in part because people ended up driving less, and therefore had fewer fatal accidents, and because less driving and economic activity translated into less air pollution.

Not good news for the car dependent.
Pray for me
Straight into the arms of Russia or China.
This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.
They’ll play this in museums in future.
(🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)
Handing out tax breaks just like the TIF wars for big box retailers, smh.
Yet were tole California high speed rail is a waste of money.
We who? Not the car dependent.
We've only had 50 years since the oil embargo to do different and reduce our risk exposure.
Wouldn't you take them into custody before starting the war?
Loudest stop on #Stl Metrolink is the Stl Airport Terminal 2 station right next to I-70. Just miserable to wait 19 minutes at.
Be aware that over 75% of the gas you buy doesn't even go into propelling the car. It's mostly lost to waste heat.
"Scrambling"
We've only had 50 years since the oil embargo to do different, reduce our risk exposure, reduce car dependency, put things closer together, make cheaper, less oil intensive modes of transportation practical and available.
Can we run the buses and trains more often now?
Bring back the energy tax credits canceled in the OBBB?
Enact ebike subsidies?
Solar panels and windmills don't need fertilizer. 40M acres of corn is for ethanol. Replace a tiny fraction of it with solar and wind.
We've only had 50 years since the oil embargo to raise CAFE standards, develop EVs, and reduce car dependency.
How about ebike subsidies?
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
Seems to be a cloudy, windless day for the LNG supply chain.
Solar and wind aren't looking so bad, you think?
How about reduce car dependancy instead? We've only had 50 years since the oil embargo to do different.
How to protect your city from #oil price shocks.
We've had 50 years since the oil embargo to do different, but Americans were coerced into more and more car and oil dependency.
One of the meanest things we do is coerce car dependency.
Car dependent Americans' rage trumps all.
“.. Nearly seven months ago, Ukrainian officials tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made attack drones .. The Trump administration dismissed the Ukrainians ..”

But it's not a war🤡
Imagine what it would have done for American manufacturing had we played our cards differently and boosts our exports by anywhere near that much.
Instead manufacturing jobs are dissapearing.
