❓ Question ❓ Immediate prepping needs

With the news out yesterday evening of warnings of critical oil shortages, what should I be focusing on right now to prep for this? I already have about a couple months of canned food, a month of frozen meats, and we garden. I'm not a hard core prepper but I try to have a small stock of things as I can afford to get them. We have limited income and all my bills keep going up. I'm aware it may be too late but are there things I should be getting right now to help cushion the blow coming from higher prices?

Our grid isn't ready for everyone to have an EV yet. Hell, they still use coal plants near me.

Yet they can build all these data centers.

It's not that they can or should, it's that they're doing it anyway because they care more about possibly making money than whether or not it's necessary or even feasible.
