So a) that’s quite a large departure from “oil will be phased out”. Words matter. They have meaning.
B) what are we saying here? Oil as a primary fuel will be phased out. When? Where? How? What “fuels”? Like... jet fuels too? Worldwide? What timeframe? I know Tesla just posted record sales and all that snazzy stuff but if you look at worldwide car manufacturing projections into the future- ICE vehicles still will make up the majority (large majority last I saw unless there’s new data which I’m happy to look at) of future vehicle sales.
What’s going on with ethanes propane butane condensates and heavy oils? What’s going on with lighter ends and roads? No more roads? No more clothes? Chemicals and petrochemicals?
Phasing it all out? Such a stupid phoney argument. Let’s be intentionally vague. You can’t fly around on solar panels people.
Oil isn’t going anywhere in a material way for a long time. It just isn’t. And people don’t care enough about climate change or the environment or any of that stuff more than themselves and it’s simply human nature.
