    Yes. Oil bad. But oil also necessary part of daily life for time being.

    Planning for a future without oil is important, but that future isn’t here and the doubling of fuel prices is hurting people who were already struggling. People who can’t afford to buy a new electric car, and without a house can’t affordably charge one anyway. People without public transit from their home to work. People who have to buy groceries, which are massively more expensive than just a few months ago.

    Solar is great, but doesn’t do shit for renters who can’t take advantage of it, and landlords don’t put it on rental units because it doesn’t save them a dime.
