The correction was "decimated" literally means "decreased by 10%".
If you meant a 90% decrease you should have said.
Your link shows transportation in the USofA uses 67% .. that is not 90%, not in the USofA and not globally. Even so the linked article I posted talks of Electric Vehicle use increasing resource demand as more EV cars are built between now and 2050.
EV cars are not the full total of "Transportation" (in the USofA or indeed elsewhere) - a large chunk of that Transportation goes to mining equipment used to estract resources, the use of which will increase to meet resource demand created by EV growth.
With climate change increasing global unrest and decreasing security there will be greater military demand for fossil fuel reserves and use globally - I understand the use of batteries et al in the military and the cold fact that the energy density of fossil fuels is unrivalled.
I appreciate your enthusiasm, your word use and arguments could use some work.
For sure. I don't think we are disagreeing on that fact, nor do I believe it hurts the validity of my comment.
Two sides of the same coin. Demand will always exist in a waxing / waning fashion. You've identified an area that will temporarily increase demand in the industrializing countries.
My hope is that the reduction in demand in more established countries will be able to offset that increase in demand somewhat. Probably not enough to net-zero it, but hopefully it has some meaningful effect.
