RE:Let's be realistic, if just for a moment,Almost all of what you say is true excluding the offhand reference to electric vehicles replacingfossil fuel powered vehicles.
Right now lithium may be scarce, expensive to mine & refine but electric batteries & cars are in their infancy and, as always, we've been able to drive costs down as we work at improving production & efficiency in all aspectes transportation.
Regardless of what I see coming; it's a long ay off & if we keep in mind that the same level of demand for oil may not return then we can still invest in O&G companies with a short term perspective.
