What are you guys paying for gas?

[406dn]

$4.999999/gallon for diesel, I paid 5.029999999/gallon maybe two weeks ago.

It will be interesting how the whole work from home thing works out. If a significant percentage of white collar jobs evolve that direction it will certainly disrupt many things.

Certainly commuting costs will drop, child care costs as well. I could see reduced wardrobe costs for office attire, since fewer different professional looks are needed. I could see businesses that cater to the lunch crowd in downtowns taking a fairly big hit.

My niece and her husband recently relocated from Chicago to Denver. They were working remotely in Chicago and decided they would prefer Denver. They kept the jobs they had. Certainly, it was never an option for this retired boomer.

Like I said, just like the proffesor. Sorry Buzz Lightyear, working at the moment auto correct and talk to text isn't up to your standards?

Inflation impacting renewable energy as well. $40 a megawatt for wind and solar energy agreements now. Not good.

Renewable Energy Prices Soar 30% | OilPrice.com

The price of electricity generated by renewable power sources in North America has added almost 30 percent over the past year due to fast-rising development costs coupled with more robust demand

oilprice.com

"“This is leading to a shortage of power purchase agreements for corporations and other large energy buyers, which are critical to bringing new clean energy projects online and meeting corporate and federal net zero targets,” they explained.

This combination of developments has led to a 9.7-percent quarterly increase in the prices of power purchase agreements to almost $40 per MWh, and a 28.5-percent annual increase."

Rethinking the failing power grid. Locally produced and stored power is safer and more reliable.

U.S. Energy Grid Faces Huge Problems Amid Push To ‘Electrify Everything’ | OilPrice.com

The pressure on the U.S. power grid continues to increase with an increasing number of system disturbances as a result, but the huge investments to improve the grid and assure energy equity stay behind

oilprice.com

"Vast sections of the country are becoming increasingly inhospitable for relatively fragile power transmission systems due to wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes and the line. And yes we can bury all these lines at enormous expense. But perhaps we should begin to entertain the alternative, namely that locally produced power, moving relatively short distances can enhance reliability without an undue cost burden."

this whole work from home conversation seems like it was largely just another tradesman vs. corporate monkey debate veiled as a practicality of WFH debate.

everyone has an opinion but the realities won't change.

sure, employees won't get to hold all the power forever, especially if we slide into a recession. but the effects they had while they held power will be lasting on the dynamics of the workforce for probably ever.

i sure am glad i kept my trusty 29 mpg 1996 subaru alive with gas prices and my employer nixing the hybrid and WFH model.
