As an Australian, i had this discussion with a couple of conservative acquaintances 12 months ago when we bought our EV, about aren’t they concerned about super long supply chains being disrupted in regards oil, Australias happy go lucky approach to a strategic reserve and propping up a bunch of shitty countries by purchasing oil from them, let alone the terrible balance of trade issues.
Nope, zero concern, one even said he loved the smell of petrol too much.
i often wonder at the sheer stupidity of Australians and now sort of understand Donald Horne’s incredulity when he wrote his iconic book in 1964 about much the same thing.
