That shut refineries down and convince companies not to build more and newer ones.

It never will be, entirely.... yet oil is needed to lube machinery
that makes alternative transportation possible. Are you driving your electric car on asphalt ?

If we keep using fuels, we'll run out. Dude, why not shift to a more environment-friendly RENEWABLE fuel?

I'm all up for fusion for general electricity production and hydrogen for vehicles.

Hydrogen is too expensive to produce, compress and store. It’s not workable for small power equipment. Workable fusion reactors are a long way away. Electrical generation could be switched to thorium reactors. Thorium is safer than uranium reactors and doesn’t produce plutonium for bombs. Aviation fuel is still needed.
Metal production requires huge amounts of energy that electricity has a hard time providing.
So many other products are made from petroleum we can never get rid of it. Unless of course you want to go back to wood, glass, leather, wool and ceramics.

Compromise - glass bottles for drinks and a better leather mix than what we got for footwear.

The man that coined the term "Peak Oil Theory", thought going to Nuclear is the future.
Like Stuart Chase and Thorstein Veblen,
he also was into the "Technocracy Movement" at the same time Elon Musk's grandpa was all in.
Why is that?

Exactly.

Geez, that scare tactic of running out of fossil fuels didn’t pan out back in 1970. According to “science”back in the 1970s we should’ve passed peak oil a decade ago. It’s not happening.
Transportation needs energy dense fossil fuels. Everything else can be done with thorium nuclear reactors. Wind and solar are not reliable 24/7/365. And they’re only viable in areas with lots of solar and lots of wind. There’s not enough for materials coming out of the ground to expand the electrical infrastructure to make everything electric.

The solution to lowering the price of diesel is not to vote for the party that supports transitioning America entirely off fossil fuels entirely.
