The point is moot. With diesel skyrocketing they won't be able to drive at all.
Trump is doing something Algore could only have wet dreams about.... Trump is ending the Diesel and internal combustion engine (poorly planned acronymy). He might not like it but as soon as he is out and all the refineries are in shambles something has to replace all that. Probably hydrogen, and battery powered vehicles.
Trump is not that smart
It doesn't matter. What matters is the guy is taming and cramming all the bulks he can find into the oil business China shop when the rest of the world leads in clean energy. When the dust settles, my guess is people will still be cold in winter and hot in summer and will still not care about where their energy comes from.
Toyota tried hydrogen years ago and it didn't really catch on. If the global gas economy crashes, I know a lot of locations they could use as hydrogen fuel pumps.
It didn't catch on because it's stupid on multiple levels, from infrastructure engineering to realpolitik. Japan as a nation is just desperate for energy independence and pretending the hydrogen will be sourced from the expensive electrolysis and not cheap natural gas refinement was a way to get free government money.
They convinced themselves that all the petrostates, which includes America and Russia, would just abandon their current economic advantage to pay them billions of dollars to rebuild their entire vehicle fuel infrastructure, since they would be the industry leaders and the only major source of engineering knowhow.
Well I'd like to add that Ford did too indirectly and it works. I personally rode both a fuel cell bus and one with a Ford Hydrogen combustion engine and both worked wonderfully. The hydrogen was sourced from electrolysis at a wind turbine. It was a proof of concept. And most relevantly... Toyota is at this again. It actually never quit because it is a smart move. Hydrogen can be easily had from natural gas or water and natural gas or oil is already the normal fuel. So you start at normal, then you switch when normal is gone. It's expensive but let's remember, Japan is an island with no oil deposits and a ton of smart people. Ofcourse they would try to figure it out.
...it might be a new benefit in hiring, we'll compensate a per centage of your fuel costs...after two months...and we've earned interest on it..follow my rabbit hole for further financial advice.../s?
Then the industry practice will be to force all the truckers with than benefit after 1 month, 3 weeks, 6 days so they don't have to pay it.
...you must be a graduate of my FAMILY accounting course, any problems with that?..menaces
