Here's something to ponder......The U.S. still have tanks (M60) presently in operation since 1959. And we're talking the most powerful military with the highest budget on the planet.
The MiG-21 fighter jet is still widely used by several different countries and that's been around since 1963.....
The average locomotive is in service for 28 years.....
The average tractor trailer is in service for about 15 years, but no worries, those will all be replace by Tesla Semis, as long as they're hauling potato chips
The average aircraft carrier is in service for 50 years, but that's nuclear powered. The USS Nimitz has been in service since 1972. Again, nuclear powered, but the point here is that there is still lots of equipment that is kept in service for decades.
Even if you consider basic transportation like automobiles....if the average ICE car lasts 12 years and they stopped building them today, then we'd still have ICE cars on the roads for well more than 12 years (being that 12 years is the average). Now consider that even today EVs are just a tiny percentage of new car sales overall, and it's easy to project that ICE cars will be on the roads for several decades at the minimum. And I'm talking about
First World Countries here.....2nd or 3rd world countries will continue to consume oil for much, much longer.
No matter how you slice it, oil will be a source of fuel for a long, long time. There's no way around it. But I'm trying to do my part. I have some battery powered lawn equipment.

And I'll eventually jump in the EV fold at some point.
