Fossil fuel should be history. Wars should be non existent and we should have colonies on the moon

I don’t think war will ever be obsolete.

As long as it's profitable, of course it won't be obsolete.

War is an extension of politics, not economics. Russia didn't invade Ukraine to make money.

War is an extension of politics AND economics, Russia and Ukraine aren't the only ones involved in the conflict.

The thing with fossil fuels is - they are pretty great. Easy to handle, not very dangerous - extremely energy dense. 1 liter of Diesel contains 50x the energy of LiPo batteries.

Even though electric motors are over 90% efficent (and combustion engines only 30% or so) - this massive advantage of energy density will prohibit larger electric planes or ships for many years.
