Transition to new economy. Why cant this be done in 10 years
Give it a try! Prove me wrong !
Why cant it be done in 10 years???
Have at it! See how far you get in 10 years.
In 10 years China has managed to transition 25% of their oil based economy.
That seems to confirm the estimate of 40 years for100% transition and coincide with the time we will be running out of oil altogether.
If you can do better, have at it!
Oil & Natural Gas Contribution to U.S. Economy Fact Sheet
Americaâs oil and natural gas industry supports 10.3 million jobs in the United States and nearly 8 percent of our nationâs Gross Domestic Product.
We spur economic growth through hundreds of billions of dollars investing right here at home every year. We create jobs across a wide range of other sectors to support our activities. We pay high wages and help American families work their way up the economic ladder.

That is before all combustion engine vehicles are taken off the road and replaced with electric cars, worldwide. Are you beginning to see the problem here?
Fossil Fuels
Fossil fuelsâincluding coal, oil, and natural gasâhave been powering economies for over 150 years, and currently supply about 80 percent of the worldâs energy. Fossil fuels formed millions of years ago from the carbon-rich remains of animals and plants, as they decomposed and were compressed and heated underground. When fossil fuels are burned, the stored carbon and other greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere. An excess buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has caused dramatic changes to Earthâs climateâa trend that will worsen as more fossil fuels are burned.

and
A phase-out of fossil fuel vehicles are proposed bans or discouragement (for example via taxes) on the sale of new fossil-fuel powered vehicles or use of existing fossil-fuel powered vehicles, as well the encouragement of using other forms of transportation.
Vehicles that are powered by fossil fuels, such as gasoline (petrol), diesel, kerosene, and fuel oil are set to be phased out by a number of countries. It is one of the three most important parts of the general fossil fuel phase-out process, the others being the phase-out of fossil fuel power plants for electricity generation and decarbonisation of industry.[1]

That doesnt mean it cant be done in 10 years particularly in declared climate emergency. Whats your reason for opposing this?
Trump is right on the money. Which agrees with USGS. (U.S. Geological Survey/U.S. Department of the Interior).
How long can we expect the present Interglacial period to last?
No one knows for sure.
I would guess if Trump got back in office, he would fund a department to research Climate Change. That would end the guessing. One of my biggest mistakes with Climate Change was thinking the IPCC goal with the models was to figure out how earthâs climate works. From 1988 they have not even gotten close. The reason for that. It is not their goal. I should have understood the IPCCâs bylaws at the start, and I would not have wasted so much time waiting for the IPCC to produce.
Oh Mike, you are hopelessly naive.
This is Trumpâs war cry:

Again a misdirection. Give it up already!
Wow, a department to research climate change. GENIUS.
NOAA is an agency that enriches life through science. Our reach goes from the surface of the sun to the depths of the ocean floor as we work to keep the public informed of the changing environment around them.

Because pretty near no one wants to discuss it seriously, and even less want to make the effort to do anything, and even less understand enough to know why itâs so important.
Stupid is as stupid does.
If you canât come up with a few reasons on your own,
it simply shows how little you appreciate world economy, and human desires, let along climate science.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Whoâs going to declare the emergency, and whoâs going to pay any attention?
If thereâs anything clear from the past half century is that every good faith effort to make a substantive shift, has been met with a war of derision, back stabbing, malicious dirty trick and lies upon lies pour upon a coddled public with their obsession over lower gas prices - and thus doomed to irrelevance.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Oh for example, apparently half the nation apparently loving trump, take yoke for example.
Stupid is as stupid does.

And, letâs not forget the IPCC reports.

And what has the oil industry and their rich supporters reacted to that.

Their conclusion would be that itâs hard.
Sure, but also that GW real.
Keep up with the conversation bro. 40, 30, 20, or 10?
The govt bro. Just like when covid hit.
NOAA never said a word when the Biden-Harris stop the satellite that would have provided up to 10,000 earth weather reading per day. So, you guys are stuck with the U.S. Climate Normals.
As far as trying to take credit for sun science. That is embarrassing. NOAA doesnât even have a definition for neutrinos. Where was NOAAâs voice for the last 20 years as NOAA spend tens of billions of tax dollars on the IceCube and dark matter and didnât help in the push to get clouds and neutrino science on the table for Climate Change? All the tax dollars spent, and China is going to redo the work because it is obvious that NOAAâs science is politically bias, and you got the amount of matter for neutrinos wrong.
Has NOAA enriched our lives or helped make us poorer?
I think frankrizzo is correct in 10 years. And writ4u is also correct in 40 years. If Trump get elected, then we could see the change in 10 years.
The next step to oil reduction is solid-state EV batteries. They are lighter, carry a charge for 500/1000 miles with 10-minute charge time. They are smaller and can handle the heat and cold. And less likely to ignite.
Worldâs largest EV manufacturer said China will be solid-state in seven years.
I bet he is rethinking that now. Because Musk said yesterday that the model Y will be solid-state in 2025.
Quite opposite. Trump will encourage pumping oil until weâre out of oil or dead.
Trump is on record opposing EV and promoting fracking and âdrill baby drillâ!
Trump Vow to âDrill, Baby, Drillâ Collides With Industry Caution
If elected, Trump could repeal many of Bidenâs policies meant to encourage a pivot from fossil fuels, replacing them with new regulations that foster oil demand and lower the costs of development.
Trump has repeatedly vowed to end what he calls the âEV mandate,â referring to federal vehicle pollution standards that are so strict they effectively compel automakers to boost sales of electric models at the expense of conventional-gasoline powered cars.

No she has already declared to pursue green energy. But until there is worldwide agreement to curtail oil and increase EV energy, no progress can be made.
It is a complicated problem because most people do not understand the âexponential functionâ and there are powerful forces trying to use all the oil, just as Japan once tried to kill all the endangered whales to pay for all the expensive fishing boats. Any short-term goals must be by global agreement and effort.
The problem is that oil today is liquid gold and Big Oil does not want to leave any of that black gold in the ground.
Not correct tyrant. She has no plans ending oil at anytime.
