      For everything the Trump administration has done to make solar and wind power less economically feasible, it turns out his war in Iran has done way more to make fossil fuel consumption less economically feasible as well.

        When batteries one day gets lighter in weight, we might see hybrid planes at scale. Or even full electric for smaller flights.

        Then oil is really about to get abundant in some parts of the world.

        It’s already happening with cargo ships and trains. (Yes, I know they are much easier to transition to electric than planes)
