Is this a BIG YAY, or a small yay? Seems like at least a small yay.
IMO its a "meh". Oil production is currently at an energy neutral state(amount of energy needed to extract is equal to the energy provided), in a decade or so its going to hit energy negative(energy needed to extract is more then energy provided). What should be happening is slow/begin halting extraction and storing all of that oil in the ground just in case we might need that energy surplus at some point in the future but that hurts quarterly profit returns so the oil executive solution to it is "suck it dry, not my problem".
Good in the sense that reduced production will lead to marginally lower emissions, but bad in terms of price at the pump.
Seems this will help continue the trend towards micromobility and EV's. Near and far it seems people are really learning to depend on e-bikes, for instance.
Late stage capitalists and anti-science wingnuts are going to whip their brainless sheep into a froth
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
