Yeah whatever. It’s where we burn several millions of barrels of gasoline per year, stuff that should be kept in the ground instead.

Frankly the amount of Nirvana fallacies in this thread is indicative of the coping stress the petrol-heads are suffering.

Even if we swapped every ice vehicle for electric and had the charging infrastructure in place, we wouldnt leave all that oil in the ground. Its just to useful, it would be used for plastics, chemical feedstocks, fertilizers, insecticides, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, etc... All those hydrogen carbon bond we dont have to pay the energy for are just to danm useful and valuable for so many industries to leave in the ground.
