Yep, that’s frankly a much bigger deal and something I should have specifically noted.

  It’s not really a big deal because we have renewables that can fund the extraction. Oil isn’t useful for its contribution to global energy, it’s useful because it’s portable.

    Renewables used for extracting oil are renewables that can’t be used for other uses, and this shortfall will need to be made up for by… burning fossil fuels.

      There is excess renewable generation in regions very frequently and coal can be burned rather than oil in the case fossil fuel is needed. You’re not making a coherent point.
