Whether there is anthropometric global warming or not, it’s stupid AF to rely on fossil fuel. One of the most strategic reasons is that the stuff is more valuable as building blocks for organic chemistry— plastics, pharmaceuticals, etc.— than burning the shit up. You think it is untenable now to have an alternative to gasoline powered engines— wait until there are few options to make plastics or industrial lubricants, sealing materials, etc. That is a bigger world of hurt.
@CopperCicada A few years ago there was the process of thermal depolymerization. But the people that were trying it didn't do to well. I believe it was an efficiency issue. Which if it had of worked well would had made limitless oil. And thus limitless pollution as well.
