    It used to be more of a worry that we’d ‘run out’ of petroleum in the very near future, but they keep finding more. The price continues to go up though, and that will continue to happen if we keep using so much of it. We’re finally at the point where electric out performs a combustion engine. So even though we are still very dependent on oil, the path to an electric future has never been clearer. Denmark is at 90% renewables, but many places are still way behind like Cuba at 4%. Cuba having blackouts right now.
