11.31 et al. I stated some thoughts before on this. Its worth remembering the oil is used for so many things such as plastics (which we really haven't an alternative in the main), rubber (inc tyres etc which unless we develop hover cars you'll still need), heavier fractions for tarmac and other construction materials (again unless we have hover cars we'll need road surfacing.). I think EV for trucks and large long distance goods transportation will lag significantly, same as ships and planes (maybe hydrogen fuel cells but thats a way off given the energy t produce hydrogen and the ability, or lack thereof, to store.)
Whilst I actually fully accept we need to make in roads into changes for future generations...it'll be a generation or 2 and that also depends on what the population hubs do, namely India and China...seem more questions than answers at the moment and that may support prices in the medium to long term
