How much are you personally paying for transportation (powered by petroleum), energy (whether home heating oil, or inexpensive electricity made possible by an energy market whose rock-bottom price depends on petrochemicals being pumped out of the ground), plastic tchotchkes (which depend on petrochemicals being inexpensive)?



The US does not depend on this lane though. China and Europe do, however.


If prices become higher in China/Europe it’ll lead to prices being higher by us. It’s a global economy where large impact in China/Europe will impact the states to some extent.


Not enough, if it's just enabling continuous proxy wars abraod.
