Full stop. You seem pretty certain. How do you explain what's happening in the US (particularly in California)? Are you saying infrastructure currently does not

  I would hypothesize that if you counted up the cumulative stored joules of existing and accessible petro-energy stocks and compare that to the equivalent with electrical generaton, then evaluate what it would take to replicate the logistics networks that provide electricity *above and beyond* current electrical generator capacity, it wouldn't even be close to capable of being a 1:1 replacement without a century of no or negative margin investments that people have no incentive for. It's like crypto - people got excited with Musk's sexy vision of the future and so it caused a mania around it. A private company cannot possibly fund this scale of infrastructure development because it requires decades of losing money. The challenge is that it's in conflict with 100 years of oil-based infrastructure development that still has the same incentives.
