Trump might ironically end up being the guy that pushes society over the green energy tipping point.

EVs were all the rage a few years ago, but they were expensive and gas prices collapsed. However if we get another $5-$6/gal gut punch, a lot of people will probably say "You know what? I'm done with this shit."

UK petrol prices (at time of comment) of ~£1.50/l are equivalent to $7.50/USgal.

People around me are expecting to see diesel at £2/l soon.

If it were to be so I would exclaim "What a poor vessel have we found to do this work." Sigh..

Similar to how Hitler ushered in a whole generation of liberal demacracy and human rights protection across the world.

		Well Trump doesn't exactly have the sufficient work ethic, mental acuity or sense of purpose to as much damage (and hopefully not more than a handful of years left on this earth in general to end up having to shot himself in a bunker).
