   That's understandable and likely. Personally I also believe that people are   
   still scared about the threat of being forced into EVs. It seems like all that   
   discussion make the prices go up, and Trump can't quell that fear in 4 years'   
   time.

   I'd love to quit using electric and start using a gas generator, but I don't   
   think my family in in agreement on that yet. (Imagine telling the electric   
   company that the relationship is over!)   
      
    RL> It's already improved for me.  Prices are down to where they were before   
    RL> Bidenomics.  And it will go lower as the drilling continues (supply up =

   But what about the oil on the windshields of the cars? lol
