7. Before we rid the world of crude oil usage, i.e., jumping out of an airplane with a parachute, what is the plan to identify the replacement for the oil derivatives that are the basis of more than 6,000 productsand all the fuels for more than 20,000 commercial aircraft and more than 50,000 military aircraft, as well as many of the more than 50,000 merchant ships and almost 500 ocean-worthy cruise ships worldwide that support the 8 billion on this planet?
8. The "Elephant in the Room", is that the ruling class, powerful elite, and media, avoid energy literacy conversations. Breezes and sunshine cannot manufacture anything. We are talking about the end of civilization if crude oil is no longer used.
The Wright brothers inaugurated the aerial age with the world's first successful flights of a powered heavier-than-air flying machine. The Wright Flyer was the product of a sophisticated four-year program of research and development conducted by Wilbur and Orville Wright beginning in 1899. The best flight of that December 17, 1903, day at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, covered 255.6 m (852 ft) in 59 seconds.

The Wrights pioneered many of the basic tenets and techniques of modern aeronautical engineering, and their achievement of establishing the foundation of aeronautical engineering.
The background to "Artificial Intelligence" (AI) is all components and equipment made from those petrochemicals manufactured from crude oil. Again, electricity can make AI equipment work, but electricity cannot MAKE anything.
Shockingly, very few parents, teachers, students, politicians, and those in the media, have any clues or understanding about the basis of the products in our daily lives! Obviously, a lack of Energy Literacy. As John Stossel so often says, "give-me-a-break"!
In summary, we had a zero-emissions world before the 1800's when we had less than one billion on this planet, that is now 8 billionsince we discovered crude oil and how it could be manufactured into usable "things" for mankind.
When we watch the TV coverage of protesters, both politicians and teenagers, carrying signs to STOP THE USE OF FOSSIL FUELS, what we see on those posters is:
RID THE WORLD OF PLANES, AIRPORTS, SHIPS, THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY, SPACE PROGRAMS, and STOP SOCIAL MEDIA, and PRODUCTION OF CELLPHONES, COMPUTERS, and PORCELAIN TOILETS that are dependent on the derivatives manufactured from crude oil!!
