    Shame you’ve got an idiot rampaging through the world markets for a relative pittance (but actual fortune) from insider trading. Who would have thought that’d go badly long term.

    Ironically, it may actually be Trump who brings about the rapid global adoption of EVs and renewable energy because of his stupid war with Iran and his tariffs. The rest of the world is fed up with having to rely on fossil fuels and they are dramatically ramping up both EV adoption as well as renewable energy.

    I get the feeling that the US and Russia will be the last countries to fully adopt electric vehicles.

    Meanwhile Trump is paying companies in the US to shutter wind turbine projects.

      Yah, I think of it as Trump’s own goal.

      Environmental progress through massive incompetence, ego and fraud. Actually rather a nice capstone to Pax Americana.
