It’s a pipe dream.

So is the belief that we can continue to increase the rate of oil extraction to keep up with the yearly 3-4% GDP growth we all want.

We can transition to EV's but it has to happen organically. Forced by law with lack of infrastructure to support it won't work.

Which law of physics informs that statement?

We’re not just powered by oil. We have abundant natural gas and coal, plus safe nukes that can be built quickly if standardized designs can be approved, and can still use wind and solar as supplements along with water and geothermal. Plus we can and should continue to increase the efficiency of everything that consumes energy if any kind. There is NO energy shortage, except that willfully created by freedom-hating lawmakers and bureaucrats.

It will be 2050 before there is sufficient technology to sustain zero fossil fuel vehicles. We are in its infancy and politicians are trying to put infants into the workforce. Rushing it will only cause pain and suffering and massive govt overreach.
