We need to speak the truth. The Russian war against Ukraine is being paid for by exports of oil and gas, just like all of Putin’s previous wars. If everybody in the world drove electric vehicles and their electricity came from renewables, this war would probably not be happening. And Russia is just today’s example of oil exporters fueling wars. If there were no oil and gas exports, there would be a lot less war in the world.
But it’s not just war, oil and gas exports fuel corruption and oligarchy too. The next time you see a $100 million mega-yacht, know that there is a pretty good chance it was paid for with oil and gas proceeds.
Electricity is locally produced and many cities produce their own power. It rarely crosses international borders and it mostly pays for local jobs. When you buy electricity, you are investing in building out the grid, renewable power generation and charging infrastructure.
This war in Ukraine is a catastrophic human tragedy. No matter how it ends, it will certainly be one of the defining events of this century. At any earlier point in my life, I lived in Ukraine for a year and I personally know many people whose lives have now been utterly upended.
The one silver lining has been the immense outpouring of love and support for the Ukrainian people from practically every corner of the world. People see what is happening and they want to help. Well, there is one more thing we can do.
I can’t tell you that there would be no more war if we stopped burning oil and gas for fuel and heat and just left it all in the ground. But I can tell you that the war-makers would have a lot less of our money to spend on war, corruption and mega-yachts. Instead, that money would be flowing to local utilities, cities, technology investment, electricians, solar installers and wind companies.
Last year, Congress did not pass the full EV funding President Biden proposed through the Build Back Better Act. If we are to invest in building our communities, rather than wars, we need the federal government to act now on advancing clean EVs.
This post really resonated with me. Keep up the good work.
