I thought with the explosion of electric power and windmills and the electric vehicle boom, fossil fuels would not be required…

Yet, a lot of countries still generate coal and other fossil fuels, is it because there is still filthy amounts of profit there to be made? Maybe they are just so used to it they don’t wanna swap to another resource?

I thought with Solar panels being massively produced, it would sell like hot cakes and you’re literally having the power of the sun in your hand.

    If we stopped drilling except for those use cases, I’d be a happy hippie. I’m not a hippie today, but I’m willing to change.

      Oh believe me. I would be too. We’d buy ourselves a hell of a lot of time. I’m just pointing out that the solution is never black and white.
