I think North America just has Stockholm syndrome with the oil & gas industry. I've been hearing a lot of talk about rising energy costs the past few weeks but few if any actually questioned why our society requires so much oil in the first place i.e. our terrible post-war urban design. Bikes or ebikes are simply not viable for most cities in Canada/US as most "bike lanes" are death traps that get little to no enforcement and maintenance. Even if Putin's regime falls apart like the USSR, in the long run, I fear we'll continue funding the next Russian war machine for a future conflict.
