Now, add in war possibilities etc; it makes even more sense to have as much control over what we utilize. Battery driven items such as cars are not as climate friendly as we are lead and make us that much more dependent on other countries. There are also way too many situations where an electric car would be impossible!! What about those millions in large condos where there would be no way to provide as many charging stations needed to say a 300 unit building. Or also, oeopke living in large cities that must use street parking?

Also take a look around you. How many everyday items disappear if fossil fuel use stops. Almost everything you can see or touch. All plastics, most synthetic fabrics, your car electric or not reduced to a pile of scrap metal, oh no That's right metal could not be produced without fossil fuel. Pavement for the roads and the equipment to make and install it, food production and packaging, and on and on. Be careful what you wish for. Also all components of mining raw materials and producing components and transporting the raw materials and the finished product are diesel powered. Even the glasses sitting on your nose allowing you to read this disappear without fossil fuel production. Just saying
