Gulf Refinery Crisis Is a Reminder of Why People Are Switching to EVs
France’s Finance Minister confirmed Wednesday that between 30 and 40% of Gulf refining capacity has been damaged or destroyed, pulling roughly 11 million barrels a day off global oil markets — a useful reminder that gasoline pricing is tied to global supply chains in ways that are completely outside your control.

Ford killed the F-150 Lightning. Ram shelved its electric pickup entirely. Honda walked away from its 0 Series to the tune of $15 billion.

Here’s why that matters, and why all these hybrids and range extenders are just a way of delaying the real work.
