Fully support all sensible options, that means drill baby drill rt now and let the market place accelerate the transition away from fossils as it's doing the job now. Petrochems won't increase faster for long, fossils for energy days are numbered but it's asinine to force it ahead of practicle limitations, going to take a couple decades and that's OK CO2 is not the villain it's made out to be from corporate media/government propaganda.

@labandonaldhock80 You don't understand...all combined uses beyond fuel are tiny in comparison and can easily enough, cost effective at far lower than today's petroleum price, be made from biomass profitably. Oil is the easiest extracted commodity to replace other than water. Example: Local to me we have massive piles of wood chips that used to be consumed in wood fired electric plants, much more is readily available but now burned dirty in open fields (retarded politics). A subsidiary of Shell Oil proposed a $200M plant to turn the cellulose into diesel, kerosene (Jet fuel) with some H left over. (goes without saying that rubber, plastics, fertilizers, lubricants, etc., can be made instead) Not sure if it will happen but it's a viable technology, the only thing likely slowing it down is previous cheap petrol and toxic California policy environment against building anything new. Many other ways to create oil and it's derivatives for everything but mass surface transport fuel, not about to be enough for that. Gasoline and diesel going to be mostly obsolete by say 2035/40. Methane for rockets can be created from electricity, air and water...or obviously, decaying biomass.

@labandonaldhock80 HAhahaha! OKAY petroleum comes from comet dust... GOT IT , all I need to know about your opinion. Sending wood chips over seas reeks of retarded government largess but IDK the specifics, entirely irrelevant regardless. Good night/day Sir, I don't suffer bullshit nor have time to explain a scrap of geology to you.

Yes and the path to full renewables is now well underway via nothing but economics and private enterprise. The rubbish Biden Admin (not an endorsement of 'the other side') is doomed regardless but at least they can begin to mitigate the damage they've contributed too.
