Fresh from the oven

Solar power is growing at breakneck speed and will take over soon, like much sooner than you think. Don't @ me, I don't care what any of you have to say, you guys are just addicted to being negative

no it wont.

An equally important (and ignored) aspects of petroleum is petrochemicals. We couldn't make a single wind turbine, solar panel, or BEV today without oil. Take plastics for instance. We don't know of any other chemical we can use to replace plastic and plastic is used in almost everything. Fertilizer and steel relies on oil/coal as well. No coal=no fertilizer=billions of people starve and die. We are an oil-based civilization first and foremost whether people want to admit it or not.

Natural gas more than oil. But the trucks that bring the food to the grocery stores use fuel. So everyone is still affected by the price of oil.

>shut down you cheap on demand power plants and replace it with a form of generation that's expensive and prone to outages goyim

Not only does the same amount of burning material propel an electric car forward further when it's burned in an efficient powerplant than when it burns in the inefficient internal combustion engine but electricity doesn't have to be made with oil but also gas, nuclear, renewables or what ever else your local area might use like geothermal or even waste burning. This makes electric vehicles much more resistant to price fluctuations of oil.

Energy is correlated to energy. Oil goes up, natty goes up.

I have a pallet of solar panels sitting in my back yard waiting for me to install them this spring after the weather clears up. They are absolutely not economical and never will be. But they are vital for individual households to decrease their reliance on a collapsing society.

everything you can burn to produce heat can be used to power turbines.
oil is less commonly used for that though as far as I know, because it has so many other uses. especially the chemical industry needs a lot of it.

>Take plastics for instance. We don't know of any other chemical we can use to replace plastic and plastic is used in almost everything.

This isn't strictly true, plenty of plastics can be cracked from hydrocarbons that aren't derived from crude. I mean you can make car body panels out of potato starch these days.

I still take your point however about how Vital Oil is in the supply chain of nearly every human endevour on Earth, and to think this isnt the case is simply ignorance.

It's going to take a very long time to ween ourselves off of it, and even then, we'll still be using it, just in smaller quantities for specialised purposes.
