--- "Gas stations will be few and far between. And what fuels are available will be so costly that no average American can buy them..............."

I can't see the same future you foretell. Long before that happens, an awakening -- perhaps multiple awakenings -- will intervene.

I agree that there is an "average American," and that average American is currently 1) going from paycheck to paycheck, 2) in debt and, 3) in numbers approaching 60 % of the population, earning less than about $60K a year. For these constraints, "buy an EV or else" simply cannot "fly."

Additionally all the energy producers and distributors will act in defense of their investments.

Many small rebellions are brewing, as the small lessons of Bud Lite, Disney and more show from the consumer side of things. From the simple economics of it all, Solyndra (past) is now Proterra (present tense) the same "California" collapse, as government "investment" is proving fatal to all but the few and well-connected. Rebellions are brewing.

The largest of them weighs in currently at almost $33 trillion, with the "odometer" showing full speed ahead -- into collapse. Out the other side, those energy companies will still want to produce and sell, because there is ultimately no other choice.

Obviously we see things through different lenses, but I think we agree the clear answer is to topple the Democrats as a first order of business. Best wishes.
