Oil is great, we need all of the energy sources. Solar has its place. I have solar but nuclear would solve so many issues. I agree that oil is probably overused but it can't be replaced nor should it.
Frankly all energy sources have their tradeoffs. This get off oil at all costs is brain dead to me. It's central planning. I am not opposed to solar and wind but oil is better for many use cases. This centralize manipulation of energy markets for both oil and renewables is really holding nuclear back.
Oil could easily be replaced by corn-based ethanol, and any argument to the contrary is pure propaganda, imho. But I'm with you that it needn't be replaced. Burn every last drop.
I'm no expert but corn based fuel requires massive land use and destructive farming practices. It's not the answer. Might have a place but it highly subsidized as well.
Massive land use, yes, but not much more than we already use. Destructive practices are not a requirement, no. "Alcohol Can Be A Gas" by David Blume is a massive tome dedicated to the subject, if you'd like to educate yourself as to why you are wrong when you say "it's not the answer".
Come on guys, please! Don't let politics do what they are set up for and let divide You or tear You down on their level. We have to maintain style! Ok?
Oh boy. You write "between 3 and 10 at best". It's already 4.5 and predicted to go to 24 in a couple of years, more than double what you said, but it doesn't condradict your statement? And I'm the one who can't read, loooool.

4.5%?? After multi billions of subsidies? That does not look like a big success.
Btw: please calm down anybody. We are talking energy politics and should not fall into the green lefties trap of ''divide et impera''. Nobody fu..ed somone's wife!
Oil consunption needs to dramatically decrease. It will happen. But the question is how bad the transition will be.
There is only about 50 years left of oil in all known oil deposits. I am concerned that forcing the transition away from it will make things worse. By forcing i mean subsidisies and tax breaks to alt energy. Because we dont really know what type of alt energy source is viable then and then when the oil supply start decreasing, we are kinda screwed?
Plastics are made from oil. The "just stop oil" movement would take a big hit if people realised than oil is everywhere, not just as energy source but also most materials, food, medicines...
I know that plastic comes from oil, but why isn't it the dominant export of any other oil rich nation? It may not be a coincidence that Iran also suffers from significant sanctions.
I've got an idea, how about we let everyone decide what makes the most sense for them and their specific situation and budget. We could call it the free market, and energy producers looking to make a profit will figure out an economical way to provide that power to consumers.

Thanks.
Nuclear AND solar.
Solar is ok for a tiny fraction of power, shithead. Maybe 3-10% with mostly nuclear.
Solar is already 4.5% of worldwide production (which is half of nuclear):

And solar is expected to grow to 24% in 4 years, according to International Energy Agency):

Try to read and educate yourself, monkey.

You didn't contradict anything I side. Learn to read.

I'm talking about the real world, not your fiat world's temporary aberrations and false prognostication. Think you're in the wrong place, buddy 🤡🤡🤡

Solar is a scam. Look up “solar panel recycling”
Solar depends on the region and the ability to store energy

I think it takes years to build a nuclear plant. We might need to suffer a while before we get one.
Germany can reactivate the existing plants. Takes 6 months
They should do that
They can't. This green horror show is run by the Davos crowd.
All it takes is a few blackouts in wimter for people to change their minds.
It’s weird to see Iran mostly exporting plastic when it has so much oil. I imagine the distortion is sanction related.
Plastics are made from oil. The "just stop oil" movement would take a big hit if people realised than oil is everywhere, not just as energy source but also most materials, food, medicines...

They are oil-rich but lag of capital and human capital
The world runs on oil and the oil is running out…

Free market? Sounds like a ultra-fascist conspiration theory! I am 100% sure that this infantile commie government will decide best.
The trouble is we don’t pump it here in the USA because of climate cultists
We pump more than anyone else…
You need to thoroughly review your sources of information on these matters. And then, even more importantly, find new ones.
