    You know what? Fucking do it.

    Inflation will really fucking suck for a while, but anything that makes renewables and nuclear the better option is going to be a good thing in the long term. Strangle the oil industry with high prices, we fucking need it.

      This won’t just affect oil by the way, fertilisers are a direct product of natural gas, bunkering, electricity, transport, the list goes on.

      The ripple effect might just pop the AI bubble. Good luck.

        Ferts can be made without natural gas, just bit more bothersome. Instead of cracking methane for hydrogen, we’ll have to split water.

      haha, reminds me that in 2007 I was delivering flowers when gas prices spiked and I made the mistake of opining that it wasn’t all bad - for basically that reason. The owner did NOT appreciate my comments. lol.

      Nothing came of it or anything, it was just a little awkward for a bit. And I did express sympathy for her costs. But she could have optimized deliveries SO much better - I tried to help - but she just didn’t care. Even though… it cost her much more gas. heh

      She was a good person, just a little blind about some things. :)
