The oil industry already only exists to support the oil industry, if I recall the majority of fuel usage is just moving oil and fuel around. Renewables are ready to replace oil, but greedy people are refusing to let go while they squeeze every last profit.
Sounds like they should be doing some materials R&D while switching to renewable energy and conserving oil for materials. Imagine if we actually worked to solve problems instead of make profit.
Well when it hits 7 I mean they literally have no spare energy for anyone or anything else.
The death of the petrodollar will do a lot to encourage renewables. When you don’t have the US breathing down your neck to buy oil in USD to support their empire you can buy it with whatever currency you want and decarbonize. The current world order and its financial system is what’s kept us on fossil fuels for so long. You literally couldn’t get off of them meaningfully or you would piss off the US. Any attempt to change that system was met with arrest, revolution, or death for those who suggested it.

The thing is we still need carbon heavy fuel for fertilizers, medical plastics, chip making etc.
Not to mention oceangoing ships and airplanes. There is no battery on the horizon nearly energy dense enough to make that kind of transport work.
