Gas prices have only gone up a little bit. Should be up a bunch next week.
Middle-East trickery, federal land shutdown, just a lot of stuff getting in the way of cheap prices.
Up .75 cents in MD.
You mean communists right…
It went from 2.19 at election time to 3.00 now. There’s a big push for EV vehicles. Battery technology is advancing and we will all see big changes as time passes. I’m thinking about this as I see my plans for using my pickup truck with its 460 engine to tow a boat and travel during retirement getting harder or slipping away entirely. The Communists will fuk our lives up.
Haven’t they been telling us that for years?
Not the right place for me to place this I think, although the relevance to this one subject expounds into others. I do believe it’s an insight into how TPTB look at the rest of us.

My considerations towards our current situation, with a healthy does of Lorenz Effect in that decision has me worried.
The grid could handle 20 degree temperatures. It was the 0 degree temperatures it didn’t handle. What the grid could not handle was the incompetence of those responsible for it’s functionality. Everything in the country is going downhill because of the incompetence of the people who now make the decisions on funding and maintaining our infrastructure. I see it everywhere. Highly paid people in suits in charge that think mechanical systems once installed can run forever without preventive maintenance or planned replacement after years of wear. Infrastructure has a life span just like people. For many people out of sight is out of mind. But for those responsible for the management of these systems out of sight out of mind is the sign of incompetence. And we have many incompetent people in suits running everything.
All systems eventually wear out, breakdown, and fail. And complex systems are most prone to early failure, simply due to all the possible failure modes.
Electro/mechanical systems need to be managed by engineers who are constantly looking at ways they can possibly break down so as to create solutions to avoid the occurrence of the unexpected. Technicians are to spot the wear through preventive maintenance and report it to the engineer. The bean counters need to budget for maintenance, emergencies and eventual replacement of the system when it’s lifespan is over. And the CEOs, Presidents, VPs and Board members need to stop playing politics with the investors and look out for the systems they are responsible to run. This is true for everything.
Today we have incompetent people in all these positions. Ans as a result of this incompetence and the Peter principle we are going to see more massive breakdowns of our infrastructure.
As you say all systems eventually breakdown. In normal circumstances when properly maintained and looked after they can outlive their lifetime. Unfortunately the breakdown is occurring first at the management level due to incompetence and then the system itself due to this incompetence.
