You can do a lot with renewables.

You can't do things like "make plastics" or "run entire industrial districts" off of them, at least not yet. Both are incredibly important to China for the time being.

You also can't run most blue-water naval ships off of them, but that's a bit less impactful.

The rush to renewables frees the oil to be focused on the non-transitional.
