Big oil doesn’t have to worry about shit because you still need oil and gas to go find those minerals, mine them, transport them and then turn them into batteries. Plastics, pvc pipes, clothes, all those fucking electronics you are using, food. Oil isn’t going anywhere and everyone knows it and continual base load is impossible with wind and solar. End of story. Good luck with your rolling blackouts during the summer.

About 74% is used for fuel. They'll notice the drop in demand.

Those aren't bad for the climate unless you burn them. If the cost of the externalities wasn't pushed off onto farm owners and bushfire victims, non-fossil sources would be more viable.

Oil isn’t going anywhere and everyone knows it and continual base load is impossible with wind and solar.

But not with pumped hydro, thermal storage and nuclear power.

End of story.

Good that you admit that its a story. As you point out above in a moment of total lack of self awareness "If you have no metrics it is all bullshit which you have zero."

Good luck with your rolling blackouts during the summer.

My solar panels are more than sufficient to run my air conditioning. In the hottest part of a hot day, blasting the air con only consumes about half of my generation.

Your ignorance on this topic is truly staggering. When oil is refined you can't just choose what parts of the oil you want. You get everything. So even if we didn't need gasoline, or diesel, anymore we would still be producing it. What are you going to do with it? Bury it? Shoot it into space? Lmao! You might want to eDuCaTe YoUrSeLf.
