EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — Quinten Martinez, pumping gas under a hot South Texas sun, remembers a time when fueling up didn’t require difficult decisions.
“Is it going to be groceries this week?” asked the 28-year-old Amazon delivery driver as he watched the numbers tick higher. “Is it gonna be getting gas in our tank to go to work?”
He shook his head when asked about President Donald Trump’s assertion last week that higher gas prices are a small price to pay for the war with Iran.
“I don’t feel like it’s a good trade-off,” Martinez said. “I don’t feel like this is good for anyone.”
Voters across the country, and across the political spectrum, tend to agree.
From the EPA. We also need to decarbonize our electricity generation and whatever “industry” means exactly, and how we heat our buildings.
Yeah. If it was any one thing then we could have made massive progress already.
Is it just me, or the colors in the first chart don’t match the color key?
Seems to be just you
They look a little darker in the key compared to the filled regions of the chart, but it’s probably the same as the lines above those filled regions.
Edit: since I can see the grid through the data, I’d imagine the regions have had their opacity reduced.
