There isn't a shortage of oil, that is a truth... I guess u/myklob's point is we are trying to have our cake and eat it. We can't push for a reduction in coal/oil-based expenditure while living lives that necessitate the need for continuous non-renewable energy production.

One key example is in whatever space you are in right now (assuming it's a building) is probably at least 70% based on non-renewable energy sources, whether it's concrete for the walls that need coal, phone/laptop/cables that are crude-oil based...

Personally, I see the problem but I can't really see us finding a solution
