For that reason I just don't believe that oil companies are reducing production and foregoing profits NOW in anticipation of an uncertain future in which their product MIGHT be vastly reduced. Of course, this is highly speculative. Right now, despite the rise in price, fossil fuels are still the cheapest form of energy. EV's of any quality tend to be quite expensive, and hydrogen is a great idea that is many years away if ever. Personally, I'd be a bit leery of parking the Hindenburg in my garage.

Wow you must have one heck of a big garage than.
