> oh no gasoline is going to crash ok, and? it's not like gasoline is the only petroleum product. also all that electricity to power those cars has to come from somewhere. so either they have to set up more coal factories which would be even worse environmentally than just using petrol vehicles, build more solar/wind farms which is impractical because the amount of land needed to compensate for the increased power demand would be gargantuan, plus the issue of bridging the reduced power during night / low wind speeds. they could build more nuclear factories, but that takes a lot of time and effort and resources when they need more power generation now. so what does that leave them with? diesel power plants. and oil refineries will just adjust to the changing demand, they will crack less heavy oils down to gasoline and make more diesel and kersone fuel for the generators.
