Without an oil "replacement" to support the supply chain of the products demanded by society that are now made from fossil fuels, she would ELIMINATE Electricity, Transportation, and Communications, as they are all made from the thousands of products made from fossil fuels.
Not only are aircraft, merchant ships, and space exploration equipment constructed from the same products made from fossil fuels, eradicating the world of crude oil usage would ground the 20,000 commercial aircraft, and ground more than 50,000 military aircraft, and the 23,000 private planes in the world, leave the 50,000 merchant ships and 33 million pleasure boats tied up at docks, and discontinue the military and space programs!
Those few wealthy countries attempting to go "green", seem to be oblivious that at least 80 percent of humanity, or more than six billion in this world are living on less than $10 a day, and billions living with little to no access to electricity. Today, politicians in the few wealthy countries are pursuing the most expensive ways to generate intermittent electricity.

Meanwhile many countries, including India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, China, and the ASEAN countries, focus on the availability of cost-effective, dispatchable baseload electricity for the growth of energy-intensive industries that can drive economic progress and improve living standards. These countries have their baseload electricity provided primarily through coal-fired, natural gas, and nuclear power stations to support their rapid industrialization and economic growth. That is partly why they are the high economic growth economies of the world.
America's investments in unreliable and unproven renewable electricity sources like wind and solar should be reconsidered, as they are ill-suited to meet long-term economic demands, particularly in the mining, manufacturing, AI, datacenter, and agricultural sectors.
A stable and secure supply of crude oil to meet the demands of citizens and businesses, as well as continuous, uninterruptible, dispatchable electricity, are both non-negotiable requirements for sustainable economic growth, not just for California, but for the entire country.
The good news for Californians is that Gavin Newsom is terming out as Governor of the State. The bad news for America if Kamala gets elected President, is that she can nominate her "buddy" Gavin Newsom for Secretary of Energy for the Country. God Bless America to live with similar energy polices of California.
