    Nice to see the US government still supporting EVs these days.

    I still think that EV rebates and tax credits would be more cost efficient and much less jarring than provoking Iran into destroying 20% of the world’s oil supply… but I guess that I am too simple-minded for politics.

      No joke, electricity is getting so expensive that I was just about break even on running my PHEV on gas vs. electric… Then this happens to make the choice easy again

        Well funding for those data centers are getting blown up… literally in the case of Amazon’s data center. So we might get to see that AI bubble pop that we have all been hearing so much about. That should help a little bit. Too bad Trump is offsetting that by cancelling all renewable projects though.
