Has anyone purchased a new vehicle lately, the prices are off the wall.

That is the more interesting question to talk about. Overall energy consumption by society/civilization & EROI.

Personally, I think nuclear is the best short-term answer for the volume of energy required. All the while adding lots of solar and wind. Needs to be more work on efficiency as well.

Yeah we totally ****** up our nuclear power policy. Nuclear should be our long-term, whole-grid solution for base load until another transformative tech comes along. Supplement with renewables locally as needed.

Just got a 2021 Traverse LT with 35,000 for $26,000 after trade. Just couldn't wait around as wife's needs new tires, a couple warning lights keep coming on. A new computer and a couple modules along with the electric seats not working didn't want to stick a couple of grand in a 2013 car with 140,000 on it. Searched around and similiar vehicles with mileage slightly higher are going for $35,000.
