Yep, we drive much less, we keep the thermostat lower, close off more rooms, fixed/replaced the furnace to be more efficient, turn off lights better, etc.

And we're certainly not the only ones.

In this regard, Putin's done Europe a huge favor - all that sustainability becomes an actual reality. Still wish Germans hadn't mothballed their nuke plants, but then maybe there's new impulse for micro nuke plants. (If people calculated oil war deaths as part of the price of oil vs nuclear, there'd be no contest).

One worrisome area is China looks poised to dominate the EV market, tleven as Tesla appears a fraud long term - good cars, but lies about it's auto driving, onboard "training" that's barely connected, use of obsolete cameras, and basically screwing it's customers on several features, especially expensive paid up-front ones that don't get covered by insurance if you wreck it. On the other hand, VW & other players aren't sitting still, have some good contenders. How the grid rolls out, what's the convenience & cost of charging remains unclear. Elon's EV semi seems doomed because he won't tell potential customers -cirporatws that depend on this stuff - what the actual carry load will be, the mileage, the costs, uncertainty about repairs, plus in-route charging is a lot more expensive than back at the fleet lot... Essentially he's making a consumer pitch to business sectors, which doesn't fit their modus operandi at all.

Hmm, i digressed quite a bit there.
