You should be lobbying for cheap electricity so that people put heat pumps in their homes instead of burning diesel for heat.
It seems like you should want the types of vehicles that can avoid using fossil fuels to do so, to keep your own prices down?
What is with this attitude of reflexively interpreting the development of alternatives as if they are mandatory ?
We can have and use electricity even if that's not what you put in your tank. We can have both things. This is the US government actively trying to eliminate one of them.
This deal has zero to do with someone like you. This impacts our electrical grid. Now instead of harvesting renewable wind energy we will be burning LNG to power that portion of the grid.
I suppose there are still some diesel generators out there, so they might burn that instead. Of course, that only makes you worse off.
You know if demand goes down for fossil fuels because the grid is powered by renewables then the cost would decrease right?
Also “kilometers”? “petrol tank”? Thanks for holding three fingers up and letting me know you’re cosplaying as an American

So fucking what? Keep driving your air-pollution vehicle. No one (not even Obama or Biden) is trying to take it away from you.

400,000 km is around two years for a commercial driver, isn't it?
