You gonna get rid of jets and trains, or make them electric too?

The petrol industry has many friends, they serve many markets.

Look at what comes out of a barrel of crude[0], an incredible number of products which aren't going away, even if every car/truck/bus/vehicle on the road was electric.

Baby steps. Also -- hopefully jets become electric at some point. No reason for them not to.
