The “concerned citizen” is quite weird. I suspect hybrid is the best next goal, followed by electric. Cold turkey to electric is bound to be messy and uneven.

The “concerned citizen” is quite weird.
I suspect hybrid is the best next goal, followed by electric. Cold turkey to electric is bound to be messy and uneven. Anyplace that is cold or remote won’t be served by electric, so we will need to retain some petroleum processing. Call it weaning as opposed to setting up to go cold turkey.

New gas vehicle sales are banned starting in 2025. https://electrek.co/2021/09/23/norway-bans-gas-cars-in-2025-but-trends-point-toward-100-ev-sales-as-early-as-april/ https://electrek.co/2021/09/23/norway-bans-gas-cars-in-2025-... The trouble will be when EVs reach a tipping point where petroleum consumption declines below a sustainable level for the petroleum supply chain to function. That’s still at least 10-15 years off, but will occur eventually.
