Climate change hysteria built on the obvious error in expectation that change isn't ever supposed to happen... obviously is not an argument designed to survive the long term... It's an expedient in an argument that's about re-directing existing flows of $... with hefty surcharges applied... into different pockets and nothing more... But, it poses the challenge of testing how big and how long you can lie... and still fool most of the people... So, they enjoy it for that... as it demonstrates how stupid and easily manipulated most people are... But, will agree that burning oil is both dirty and wasteful... both as inefficient, and as not the best and highest use of the potential in the material... The whole climate change BS is really irrelevant to the argument that innovation in things electric has a longer runway than things internally combustible... The point of it, though... as practiced, is also a deception... If you are going to do "alternative energy"... you should do it on the basis of market competition... If you can't displace oil on a cost basis... but only by force or subsidy on a price basis... you are imposing economic inefficiencies that directly counter the goals espoused... But, those who FUND the effort ? To what end ? The primary beneficiaries of higher cost energy... as now being implemented... are the lowest cost producers... with high cost competition protected by keeping oil prices high. Solar benefits Saudis more than any "green" cause... both as it sets an artificially imposed "higher than market" price expectation in costs of energy... and because every addition of solar alternatives helps extend the life of the resource... while sustaining higher than market prices over a longer period of time... High cost oil... imposes some demand destruction... which means fewer barrels sold for more money. What they don't want... is any work addressing alternatives with efficiencies that would compete directly with oil at the cost of production... and not the artificially inflated sales price...
