But it WILL be impacted
The two articles that you posted are diametrically opposed to each other.

One is saying that oil will still be a major player in 2040 (btw, 2040 - 2017 = 23 years). The other is saying that oil is "killed off" by 2030.

The first 300 posts in this thread are people saying that a total phase-out of oil by 2030 is completely ridiculous, and you arguing that 2030 timeframe for a complete shutdown of the oil industry is correct. Now you go and post an article that says that oil will still be a major source of energy into 2040.

What the heck is your position? The two articles suggest vastly different reactions from government and individuals.
