What's the price in your neck of the woods?
Here - (Michigan) it's $1.57 USD per gallon.
That's getting close to half of what it was last month.
I could give a shit how high or low fossil fuel prices can go. Our species needs to stop burning fossil fuels.
I assume this means you won't be using the services of your favorite taxi any more?

All the more reason you should care. If the price of fossil fuels stays low, there’s less incentive to switch to alternative fuels. The higher the price of fossil fuels, the more attractive the alternatives become.

Burning coal boiler in a power plant to make electricity to power cars is actually cleaner than burning gasoline or diesel in an internal combustion to power cars.

Prior to electrification, private residences were heated by inefficient and comparatively dirtier means than a coal fired power plant. We saw gains in heat and in energy efficiency, without needing to switch out the fuel.
The DoE estimates that increased electrification will necessitate a 38% increase in production over the next 30 years, mostly from EVs. That's nationally, some states have it better or worse than others. The big issue with electric cars isn't whether or not we can make the energy or whether or not it would be cleaner - we can and it would be...but how to distribute it, how to manage the new peaks. Some states are running charging stations for the express purpose of collecting the data that would be required to plan for that.
(iirc, there are a few states that already make more electricity than the projected requirements, a consequence of seeing power generation grow while consumer demand remained flat for the last decade or so - so they do that, burn enough coal to produce the energy..... and people are driving around.)
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
