The lithium, cobalt, manganese, copper, iron etc. are also finite and will likely be used up before fossil fuels are. Private enterprise has always come up with something better when something became impractical. The government is extremely short sighted in how they demand we replace fossil fuels instead of allowing that to happen naturally as it always has.Yeah, guy, you can keep repeating this, but it doesn't address the issue. We are running out of Fossil fuels, and they are destroying the planet.
The question is, why do you want to keep being abused by the oil executives.
There is no consensus that fossil fuels are destroying the planet--for sure they provide ways to protect the planet and the flora and fauna on it that were impossible before we harnessed that form of energy.
And there is zero evidence that going to all electric, wind, solar will make one whit's difference in climate change.
