Personally I think the carbon capture and storage / transition into alternate fuels or blending agents is the right idea / future.

Also I don’t think you’ll get many people or any people disagreeing on diversity in our economy. Houston diversified from oil and gas in the ‘90’s into health care / research successfully. It doesn’t mean oil and gas must die though. That’s the part I don’t get. Why do we have to absolutely obliterate one industry for another? It seems like that’s how people think.
We don't...that's why I love innovations like in-situ hydrogen generation from oilsands, or lithium from produced water, or seeing reservoir visualization algorithms repurposed into medical imaging.

You CAN'T replace the energy sector...you CAN stand on its shoulders and develop products and services that address other markets.
