Why Trump doesn't care about $4 gas
Gas hit $4. The media went crazy. "Trump's war is costing Americans at the pump."
Trump shrugged.
He said America makes money when oil goes up. He said "big money" was coming from the strait situation. He moved on.
That reaction confused people. A president is supposed to panic about gas prices. It's political suicide to look indifferent.
Unless you know something the public doesn't.
Here's what I think Trump knows.
High oil prices are the single most powerful accelerant for the energy transition. Nothing moves governments faster than $4 gas and angry voters. When oil is cheap, nobody cares about EVs. When oil is expensive, every country on earth starts writing checks for batteries and charging infrastructure.
And all of it — every single watt of stored energy — requires lithium.
Trump's DOE is funding domestic lithium production. His legislative agenda includes critical mineral incentives. His administration is permitting mines faster than any in the last twenty years.
One of the companies the DOE backed is EnergyX. They hold 120+ patents on a technology that extracts up to three times more lithium than the old method. They just commissioned the largest DLE plant in America. Producing battery-grade lithium now. 50,000 tons per year at full scale. Billion-dollar revenue potential.
GM led their $50 million round and locked in offtake rights. POSCO and Eni followed. 47,000 investors. $171 million committed.
