I ain't been driving on gas since 2002. May I take you to dinner?
In the last 8 years, I've NOT purchased 2,500 gallons of gasoline by driving electric, effectively paying for two-thirds of the cost of the car I've been driving.
When will the last gas station close in your city? Sooner than you may think.

A group of conservative activists has worked for 16 years to stop all government efforts to fight climate change. Their efforts are now paying off.
The EPA is expected to revoke the endangerment finding, which has underpinned the government’s ability to fight global warming since 2009.

Dang. Rock and a hard place?
We’re damned if we do, and we’re damned if we don’t. As the opening ceremonies are underway in Milan, be sure to read this report about the extreme financial risks LA faces in hosting the next Olympic and Paralympic Games
"The decision on whether to try to cancel or renegotiate the terms of Olympic hosting depends on which you prefer to risk: billions of dollars in losses on hosting the Games, or billions in penalties for not hosting them."

Great panel but I was shocked at the ignorance: Most Americans buy used cars & I just googled it: Found a used top-brand #EV SUV for $21k w/ 14k miles on it. Yes we need more public charging, but average EV range is 250-300 mi now. Did @katieporterca.bsky.social get her talking pts from Big Oil?
