Look I see the good intentions, but I believe in calling out hypocrisy, saying you ban ICE vehicles, whilst being one of the top producers of crude oil, to substitute your electric vehicles with said profits of selling crude oil, which even the “used in other products” is the minority of products, is a bit hypocritical.
I give Norway a nod to be trying to be the change they want to see, but it feels like the owner of an abattoir preaching the gospel of veganism, how their house is going to be 100% vegan and how people who eat animal products are going to doom the earth due to animals being a major contributor to greenhouse gasses, whilst still operating and profiting from said sale of animal products and using its revenue to make vegan food cheap and easily available to his family.
Yeah, kinda, but not at all. You are trying to diminish something that has never been done before. Spin it any way you want, no country, oil producer or not, has reached a level where it is possible. And you get to benefit from it.
Had there not been a market for a new type of power train, nobody would have made the cars. So we may not like it, but Tesla and an oil producing country are in some ways instrumental in bringing about this change.
So, your allegory is only correct if your farmer is the first ever producer of vegan food. It’s still a feat.
Look, I want oil to be deprecated as fast as anyone. That doesn’t stop me from seeing the effects it would have if oil dried up tomorrow. Neither of us would like that world. So while it seems excruciatingly slow, we need to do it one step at a time. Now when the ball is rolling, it should start to pick up speed.
