Saudi Aramco CEO: Energy transition failing

The world’s largest oil company says the transition away from fossil fuels is failing.  This is after large cuts to production.

The reality I see is factories cranking out electric cars and solar panels.  Every time an EV or a solar panel rolls off the assembly line, some small but permanent destruction of traditional energy demand occurs.

I have had an EV for about 5 years.  I don’t forsee ever going back to a gasoline powered car.  Both my children have EVs as do many friends.  I suspect they feel the same.  And it isn’t about any political or social agenda.  They are just better cars.  Faster, quieter, more convenient, lower maintenance.

When I look at the technology trends for solar panels and batteries, it seems to be even more of a no-brainer.  Electricity is the future.  Thanks oil, you got us this far.  Time for a new technology to take the baton.  From CNBC.
