If ALL the solar panels and all the wind turbines are made with FF's from the point of mining up to the transportation of the manufactured products to site and installation how are they 100% renewable? If all the electricity is transmitted over cables erected with FF's made out of materials mined with FF's, how are even EV's 100% renewable? If we shut all the coal mines and capped all the oil and gas wells, we wouldn't be in some imaginary future tech world we'd be back in the era of ox carts.

Eric, you have got economics back to front. Oil being cheaper means it gets a new lease on life. When oil is too expensive, THEN it is Game Over. <
Looks like oil is going lower...

More rigs will get laid down.

"Drill baby drill" is over.

The permanent end of an era.

People won't pay twice the price for an electric car to park at a Supercharger for half an hour or a couple of hours if there is one car on the charger and one waiting. They will buy a nice cheap gasoline car and fill 'er up cheaply and in a couple of minutes. Even my 7SSS station can't compete with cheap gasoline and diesel.
