    Keep going small line! I need to see that go past the $150 barrier! We need oil to be so expensive that the green transition is forced upon everyone; because apparently, it’s the only way.

    It comes with the bonus of making every fascist asshole in the world defending the oil industry to actually suffer for their choices.

    Yup, this is one line that I’ll always enjoy when it goes up.

      Oil isn’t used only for transportation, you know. Fertilizers. Plastics. Paints. Medicine. All kinds of stuff depends on it too. The oil insdustry is obscenely rich and can weather this storm just fine, “we the people” will be the ones suffering with high inflation
