Rodent + 1,424 April 12, 2018 The higher oil prices will be a welcome relief for renewables, which really took a hit in the low-price oil environment. Apathy is renewables biggest curse, and nothing is a better cure for apathy than money. As oil prices rise, more and more people will become interested in renewables and EVs. My eight-passenger suburban is sitting in the driveway now that gas has went up 50 cents in the last couple days. No, I'm not going to run out and buy an EV (and charge it NO WHERE), but I'm happy to drive my conservative Honda Civic to save on gas. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kate Turlington + 44 KT April 16, 2018 In Canada, too. This summer they're saying gas prices will be the most expensive they've been in a decade, so I'm seriously considering an EV myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TraderTate + 186 TS April 16, 2018 Yeah, last year this time WTI was like $50, and this summer many think it will be $70, which isn't unrealistic from where it's at now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rodent + 1,424 April 16, 2018 so we can basically attribute a push for renewables on Syria and OPEC? Nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
