Without oil people die. Its simple as that. The population in the world was only possible thanks to the green revolution, which was possible thanks to oil
Oil is needed for the food industry, for the military, for the police, firefighters and ambulances. We need oil for petrochemical products whether its some plastic tools, roads or medicines.
It took over a hundred years to build an energy grid around fossile fuels. So only an ignoart idiot would think that we could replace all fossile fuels in flip of a switch. We will need atleast 30 years of massive investments on a warlike scale.
Most oil countries have already reached their production peaks, and no new oil has been found in suffiecent amounts to replace it.
So there is good reason to start replacing all coal plants, all combustion engines in cars, trucks, planes and chainsaws
and invent new ways of producing food without fossile fuels for production of fertilizer, pesticides, and using it for waterpumps, tractors, and planes that spray the fields, and radiators for the harvest, and vechicles that transport all the food to consumers.
Only an idiot would think problems like this can be solved in a short period of time. On average it takes 12 years to build a power plant. And before you could build thousands of plants you need construction materials.
So then you will need to open more mines. But that will consume even more time, since it on average will take 12 years to open a new mine and have it entering into production.
