Up-voted, but we only need oil at the moment because the oil industry keeps strangling baby competitors.
A quick, non-sourced search shows that Oil got 90-ish Billion (1) in government subsidies in 2020, while Solar got 7. Even if the numbers are 50% of actual, Renewables are not getting the help they need to become/stay viable.
(1): And that might be a waaaaay low-ball estimate: Yale said they got Trillions. Though that may be over several years.
Perhaps lobbyists could be the next class identified as extraneous.
I hate to say it, but I do need oil. Nobody should need USA-style health “insurance”.

Yes, I wholeheartedly agree.
