It's only a win after the switch to EVs. Before that you are going to need every drop of that oil.

No, you’re not. You want to fundamentally damage oil production economics to make oil as expensive as possible, to speed the uptake of EVs.

Cheap oil slows down the electrification of transportation. We don’t want cheap oil. We want this price war to cause a spike in oil prices causing pain to oil consumers.
