Sorry but gas was not way up before Russia invaded.
And when Trump took us out of the Paris Agreement we lost 4 years of getting our house in better order and getting change going in other countries with more alacrity.
As more countries follow the lead of a Biden presidency and the USA and those countries become more and more independent from fossil fuels,
the remaining fossil fuel countries won’t have the market to sell anymore and when they see that green economy benefits them they will wean off of fossil fuels.
Do you think that climate change is a hoax?
You are dead wrong on gas prices not being way up before Russia invaded. They were, and then they shot up more after the invasion started.
You also mention "green economy benefits." All of the the batteries being produced are absolutely horrible for the environment. I personally think they are worse than gas powered vehicles, but let's pretend for just a moment they are the same. Why would I want to give up a gas vehicle for something that I didn't believe was any better? I wouldn't. Buy an electric car if you want one, but don't make that the only choice. The power grid in many places can't support what they have now. I don't want any part of that.
Climate change: Not a "hoax" per se. The way certain people frame it is fear-mongering. I believe climates naturally shift over time, and have for thousands of years. That's what we are seeing. And even if the US was a little cleaner in its output, it is only the smallest drop in the bucket - it wouldn't make a difference because of what is going on in most of the rest of the world.
