Too expensive. Diesel fuel is almost as cheap as water. Your standard of living depends hugely on it being this cheap btw.

- more_corn 4y agoIf we stop externaizing the environmental cost of cheap fuel we’ll pay a lot more for food, especially meat and shipped things. Good. We should eat less in general, less meat in particular. Buy less artificially cheap shit, ship things less casually. If it costs three times more to ship something, local production suddenly becomes more appealing (which is good in a handful of ways). Propping up artificially cheap fuel prices, hides the true cost of things and messes up our decision making. I argue our stability, happiness and well-being would be improved by drastically higher diesel prices. Bring it.
