Our last ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicle went away this week (March 17, 2026). It was replaced by a small electric car that does not care too much about the Orange Felon’s illegal wars or crackpot energy policies.  There shall be no more fossil fuel vehicles at the Legacy House, where all lawn and garden power tools are electric, as well.

It occurs to me that the rising cost of gasoline and Diesel might actually be doing some good in terms of converting vehicles to electric power in opposition to Trump’s own drill-baby-drill policy. Albeit at the horrendous human costs of dead soldiers’ and innocents’ lives and degradation of the general quality of life for all in the Persian Gulf region. But, higher energy costs, for whatever reason, do present a force for change.

Here at the Legacy House, we spent $48 last year on power from our local utility. All the rest, for heating, cooling, and transportation, was derived from our solar panels. So, to Dear Leader, shine-baby-shine.
