Ridding the world of oil, without a replacement in mind, would be
immoral and evil, as extreme shortages of the petroleum products 
manufactured from fossil fuels will result in billions of
fatalities from diseases, malnutrition, and weather-related deaths.
 Shortages of fossil fuel products would necessitate lifestyles
being mandated back to the horse and buggy days of the 1800's, and
could be the greatest threat to the planet's eight billion
residents.

The ruling class in wealthy countries are not cognizant that the
planet populated from 1 to 8 billion in less than two hundred
years, and that population explosion began right after the
discovery of oil.  That growth in the population was not just based
on crude oil by itself, as crude oil is useless until it can be
manufactured into something useable. Today, through human
ingenuity, we have more than 6,000 products  currently benefiting
society and fuels for the 50,000 jets moving people and products,
and more than 50,000 merchant ships for global trade flows, and the
military and space programs.

It cannot be overemphasized that eliminating fossil fuels and
implementing Net Zero policies and actions mean the elimination of
the more than 6,000 products derived from petroleum that are the
foundation of today's lifestyles and economies, and the nitrogen
fertilizers and pesticides that will result in about half the
world's population not having enough food to eat.

The ruling class are not yet cognizant of the limitations of solar
and wind. Those renewables of wind and solar only generate
occasional electricity, but manufacture nothing for society.
