    Datacentres run on diesel generators when the grid cannot provide enough power.

    This is why diesel is so expensive.

        There is nothing “regular” about the current unregulated capitalism going on in the US at the moment.

          So the shitty trading and deals are your pet peeve but not the attack on foreign oil producers.

          The great pumpkin SANK 3 tankers last week. Not hijacked or shot at. But sank. Huge ecological disasters. This is all voluntary.

    $4.43 per gallon is still only ⅔ of the price as in Northern Europe right now lol. But I guess we’re better off to pay for it? Less dependent on it? I dunno. I have an EV so it’s whatever for me, personally.

          Still less than 75 % of the maximum price of gasoline here during the pandemic in combination with the Ukraine war. 😅

          Diesel is $8.30/gallon here now.

              20 min bike ride. Also I don’t use gasoline or diesel, I have an EV.

                So your commute is a fraction of a commute in the US.

                Here it might be a 30-45 minute ride in a car. One way. Do you see why $5 fuel would be a much larger problem here?

                I have an EV

                Good for you. So do I.

                Everything you own and eat involves a diesel engine somewhere. That is the real problem. People with EV’s have to eat still.

                  lol what. My commute is that long. Lots of people have longer commutes than 30–45 minutes here too. I’m one person. An anecdote. 😆

    Which could have been mitigated if the big railroad monopolies had electrified their rail like other large freight railroads but noooo no investment only squeezing profits.

      That’s nothing, a gallon here would be $31. However in the bland UK, we use litres. Our price is about £1.90 a litre for diesel

        1.9 x 3.8 (litre to gallon) x 1,35 (gbp to usd) = $9,75. Still a lot more, but not as high as $31.

        What math are you using lmao.

        The Pound is not that much more than the Dollar (£1 is $1.35), and a liter is not that much smaller than a gallon (1 gallon is 3.79 liter).

        1 US gallon in the UK would be £7.20 which is $9.73

        To be the equivalent of $31 per gallon, it would need to be £6.05 per liter.
