RE: Out of interest - Risk from push away from fossil fuels?28 Oct 2022 21:38
Oil and Gas will be getting used for a few decades as we transit - not sure there's any viable alternative to produce large amounts of plastic other than from oil even when we reduce their use in providing fuels/heat etc (some of the experts on here maybe able to advise on that - although, regardless, we should try and use as little plastic as possible!). Even when we reduce their use in providing fuels/heat etc . and there wasn't the environmental issues....oil/gas are FINITE resources - we have to use alternatives at some stage anyway. The "end oil" nuts need to be kicked back to their middle-class Mummy's and Daddy's and told to fk right off. We need a grown up debate globally of how we use Oil/Gas effectively as we wean ourselves off it - but we have no alternative but to use it for a long time yet.
