...gasoline and other petroleum derivatives will disappear once the need to produce it in volume and distribute it is gone.

And so will all forms of personally owned transportation. EVs are not a viable replacement for internal combustion engines and never can be. It is a bait and switch operation.

This is intentional. Our elites want a neo-feudal system in which the peasantry is under their absolute control. Freedom of movement cannot be permitted under that system.

If the transition reduces the world economy to a pre-industrial level (and a world population to 5% of current totals) they are fine with that too.

This is about control and the establishment of neo-feudalism.

Centralized energy supports centralized control.
