@ErikJonker that's a good level of recycling...

Not as bad as #leaded #gasoline, but #Methanol #Fuelcell would be the technologically superior option longterm...
Filled up my highly fuel inefficient traditional fossil fuel vehicle. Averaging 65 miles a month, which is up sharply because I am teaching classes this semester. #gasoline #fossilfuels

"Nor are economists overly impressed by Elon Musk’s proposal to tackle the problem: dramatically slashing government spending. Even if Musk could cut spending as much as he suggests (doubtful, reports The Economist, which finds much evidence of chaos but not much movement in actual numbers) experts say the result would crash the economy."

"'BIDEN INFLATION UP!' he posted on Truth Social.
At least one survey already suggests consumers aren’t buying this line: The University of Michigan’s February survey of consumers found they expect inflation to increase, particularly in light of the tariffs Trump has slapped on top trading partners."

"President Donald Trump this week admitted that prices are rising ― but insisted that it’s not his fault despite repeatedly claiming he would bring prices down on his first day in office.
'Inflation is back, he told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview that aired on Tuesday night."

More random advice (had to tell some teens this a few years ago at the gas station getting gas for their stranded friend). If you get a gas can, DO NOT HOLD IT IN YOUR LAP IN THE FRONT SEAT (FFS).
I had to tell two young drivers to STOP and put that in the trunk... if you get in an accident, or you accidentally ignite those fumes, your are in a a WORLD OF HURT if you're holding a full 2 gallon or 5 gallon of gas in your lap. BAD BAD BAD BAD.
@CppGuy One word: #Tetraetyllead
- But fear not, when a #BEV's battery has a #ThermalRunoff (cuz they use shitty #LiCo ( #LiPo / #LiIon) and not #LiFePO4) they'll release a white cloud of #FluoricAcid #vapours and then start a #MetalFire that is basically "unextinguishable" (as in the only proven strategy is to throw dry sandbags in it and hope it glasses itself like the #ElephantsFoot from #Chornobyl...
IMHO it'll be inevitable that #Methanol #FuelCell-based #EV|s will be the future simply because:
1.#Lithium is scarce & expensive
2.#refueling will always be faster than #charging
3.#EnergyDensity of Methanol exceeds that of any #battery
4.#FussilFuel #Corporations can simply switchover pumps and flex their #EconomyOfScale and existing #Logistics to flood the market with cheap Methanol even if it has to be made 100% sustainable and without any fossil resources.
5.#EnergyStorage is another problem and #FuelCells can replace both #EmergencyPower systems running if #Diesel as well as the average #gasoline #generator.
Not to mention there needs to be #SystemChangeNotClimateChange and that necessitates way better #PublicTransport, regardless if #Trains, #Trams, #Trolleybuses or #FuelcellBuses (in that order)...
- Otherwise shit won't change.
OFC what any #BEVs won't fix is the fact that most particle emissions are #tire #brake #dust...
- And those are inherebtly unavoidable.unless we want to sacrifice #RoadSafety!

@europesays no, #nuclear should've never mattered and #Lithium batteries are almost as shit at #Tetraetyllead-laced #gasoline!
The National Average price per gallon for #Gas #Gasoline has fallen to just $3.10/gal.
(below $3 in 24 states.) If you want #inflation to go down, you need to elect someone who will target corporate profits. #VoteBlue
"Falling #gasoline prices were not enough to offset higher food and shelter prices in September, contributing to a hotter-than-expected inflation print."

@GottaLaff Someone needs to contact Biden/Harris and let them know that we're in Central Florida and CANNOT FIND #GASOLINE! How are #Floridians - who were asked (and in some places REQUIRED) to evacuate - supposed to get on the road & stay driving without knowing there's #GAS?
#DeSantis promised they would get it where it needed to be! Hell, the MCO AIRPORT Speedway (7/11) is out of gas!
Americans paid an average of $3.18 for a gallon of regular #gasoline last week, acc. to the federal data, down about 13% since April, chart @WSJecon https://www.wsj.com/finance/commodities-futures/oil-surges-after-biden-says-u-s-discussing-israel-attack-on-iran-facilities-a59bc990?st=GphSGe&mod=djemwhatsnews
