Great incentive to speed up decarbonization

This is propaganda. China is made at the ones who started this. Not Iran. China is gaining control over the region because of this. Iran, Palestinian, Lebanon, Turkey, and other nations in the region have no other super power to turn to for support. If turkey joins the conflict, expect Chinese armed forces in the region before the year is out.

Crude oil prices are up more than 15% since the conflict began amid production stoppages ​as Tehran attacks energy facilities in the Gulf as well as ships crossing the Strait.

Prices at the pump are ~$3.80. It's at times like this, when the pedo-in-chief starts a full-on war in Iran, that I'm glad a Democrat isn't president, as oil would be up 120% and the price at the pump would be near $7 with stickers of the president plastered all over it saying "I DID THAT."

Edit: sarcasm, for anyone who can't parse it - not entirely sarcasm though, I'm actually insinuating the fossil fuel industry controls prices and will use price control to actively hurt a Democrat in office by keeping prices artificially higher than they would if a Republican was in the same office.
