    As much as I wish that could be done, it’s completely unrealistic.

    We will be using oil based products well into the 3200’s even if every vehicle became electric tomorrow.

    Too many subsidiary products like plastic and various artificial fibers, a plethora of chemicals, life jackets, epoxy’s, roof tiles, nylon, dentures, bandages, tape, various thermal linings, and well over 6,000 other massively and widely used products.

      Oil can stay with companies that have them. The federal government should be the largest spender in renewable energy. Oil base products will eventually be replaced with time and research. The horse was eventually replaced by cars.
