We can transition in about 400 Years when the Oil Supply dwindles, if it does.

The same People who hate Nuclear Power Plants that do not emit any of the dreaded CO2 slurp this Joementia “Oil is bad” drivel up like a Kitten with a bowl of Milk.

I’m a petroleum geologist I still 5 rigs at a time in unconventional shale in 3 different basins. We do not have 400 years of oil reserves left. Even maxed oit with tertiary recovery technology we have maybe 150 years at most that’s including tar sands , heavy oil & bitumen but not kerogen which is not oil but “oil shale” as opposed to shale oil. Kerogen such as the green river formation needs to be heated to 400+C to be cooked into liquid hydrocarbons it’s very expensive and very resources intensive the EROI is barely positive in some cases.
