agreed 100%. that's why we need to focus on reducing oil consumption in the transportation sector. only 2% of our electricity is generated from oil so shifting around electricity production to solar, wind, nuclear, etc does nothing to reduce our oil dependence. automobiles are the key.
Automobiles certainly are a major factor, but most merchandise and food products are transported by trucks, trains, ships and cargo planes. All consume huge amounts of petroleum products as do the manufacture of plastics, computers, etc. Oil is a necessary commodity to the worlds economy and will remain that for the foreseeable future.
