1, is they are just greedy so and so's and falls.on to the narrative of governments and large corporations wanting every last penny from us,.one way or another.
Talk a good game, high skill high wage. But nobody is seeing that high wage.
2: Pretty leftfield this one. But this is a ploy to give the large corporations a metric F ton of money. So that they invest in other forms of fuel.
Nuclear, wind, water, solar etc. Skimming from us to get things moving quicker.
I wouldn't be surprised in a year or 2 we start hearing of massive investment in alternative fuels.
One thing I am surprised at. Why are all new houses not mandated to install solar panels and storage batteries?
