These are just flashes in a pan. The material math for EVs is not viable.

I'll bet your math conveniently ignores the fact that the supply of petroleum is inherently limited and subject to disruption for political and other "non-material" reasons..

I don't think "material math" applies to things that are huge luxury/status symbol purchases. Otherwise we'd all be driving 2005 corollas.
And as status-symbol or identity statement, being anti-oil (or anti beholden on America, Russia, Iran, etc) seems like a pretty good one.

The big winner from the Iran war thus far --- China.
Whether Israel is a real winner is yet to be determined.
There is no significant, strategic benefit to the USA despite spending at least $50 billion thus far --- not counting the cost of inflated fuel prices.

I wonder what way of thinking these people exercise. They think electricity prices are somehow shielded from price going up?
