Total amount is way less. This is how the oil world dies, in flames. It's the only way forward, we have to rip the band aid off. There is no peaceful transition away from the oil reich.

    You have a lot of assumptions baked into this. Why are you certain that this disruption results in a permanent decrease in oil consumption?

    Upcoming oil shocks will destroy the world economy and total consumption will collapse. We might have another world war where even more energy infrastructure is wiped out. China (the winners of the world war) will help rebuild the world from the ashes with clean energy. The table is set.

    So it's apocalyptic wishful thinking as usual, got it.

    Apocalyptic, eh sure I guess.

    Wishful? Not at all.

    • premise: China will rebuild the world with clean energy
    • premise: oil reduction will devastate the world economy
    • premise: oil consumption will reduce.

    Oil reduction has already been hit. Energy markets are in chaos. Demand reduction has already occurred. Many people, like myself, are buying solar panels, EVs, electric scooters, electric bikes, battery systems, etc. The source of this is China.

    The EU went from being over a decade behind their emissions targets to being over a decade ahead. A leap of 25 years in a short timespan.

    ard, we have to rip the band aid off.

    this analogy is actually bad because that causes more pain to patients, the longer duration of doing it slowly is just inconvenient for nurses.

    There is no peaceful transition away from the oil reich.

    of course not, but it's not just an environmental free roll to blow up the infrastructure

    it's a widely used figure of speech, you don't need to be so pedantic.

    Blowing up pipelines is necessary but not sufficient. It's still necessary.

    it's a figure of speech that should die because it's wrong

    i think needless derailing pedantry should stop, because it is not helpful to conversations
