Good thing I guess is if gas hits $4+ bucks a gallon that will cut down on boat traffic big time.
I have not heard about Biden initiatives that would increase fuel prices (although I would not be surprised or against them).

But it is easy to see Biden initiatives that can reduce everybody's cost of electricity, such as efficiency mandates and the recent extension of the 26% tax credit for solar. The economics of solar are great, as NH Solar has posted. The panels on my Mass house are saving me a bundle.

For people who might be interested in solar, your local installer can give you an estimate of how much you might save with just your address and a recent electric bill.
