    The end of oil? As fuel shocks cascade, 53 nations gather to plan a fossil fuel phaseout

    Ironically for Trump and his oil industry donors, this crisis may be an irreversible tipping point for clean energy.
    For years, fossil fuel advocates spruiked oil, gas and coal as "reliable" energy. That narrative has been reversed. Fossil fuels have become expensive and unreliable, while renewables are cheap, reliable and secure.  For the first time ever, more than 50 nations will gather next week in Colombia to hash out how to wind down and end their dependence on coal, oil and gas. The history-making conference was planned before the Iran war. But this year's energy crisis has greatly raised the stakes.

    Problem solved!  I was getting worried. 🙄
