Economist Timothy Snyder of Matador Economics says the dramatic spike is a result of a culmination of events but above all, a stalled U.S. fossil fuel industry.
"A surgeon doesn't go into the operating room and cut out somebody's heart without having a heart ready on the table ready to go back in. That's what they're doing, we don't have the infrastructure ready to handle the electric, so we've got to go back in and rebuild where we are in fossil fuels."Carpool when possible"I usually let my gas tank get down to a quarter tank, I'm now filling my tank at a half," said Snyder.
"People are going to have to start looking at paring back some of their plans, their driving plans, that they might have had because that's where we are in the economy."
