As was said above the end of oil reserves has been predicted many times. In the early 70’s when I was taking a geology class the prof said the world would be out of oil by 1990…clearly not the case but we were going through the first major energy crisis our country experienced..fortunately science and engineering marched on and we now have significantly more capabilities to extract oil in much deeper strata than ever.
I find the whole discussion about EV’s interesting. Many choose to frame it as all or nothing but I prefer to look at it as more of a blended solution. As an example, many households have 2 or more vehicles. If only one of them were an EV then local trips could be taken easily without too much disruption to one’s schedule and it would significantly reduce the amount of oil we need on a daily basis.
I know that the question of how reliable “The Grid”, particularly in Cali is is a concern, but using solar panels and home battery back up is a way to mitigate it.
In short, we will need a diversified “portfolio” of energy solutions as we move forward and oil will be one of those for a long time.
