That's oil mind
and many other things that don't involve cars
Coal power is mostly for electricity
But oil is mostly for transportation
Solid state batteries don't break down like lipo or alkaline. Because the electrolyte is stabilized in glass
Industry in America at least is a relatively minor part of oil
And oil is completely different from coal
Saying "the fossil fuel lobby" like it's some massive collective is silly
Even if we didn't use oil for cars or anything the industry would still exist and thrive
Also, the electrolyte is just sodium. So much easier to source
Because of how useful plastics are
@Chijohnaok plastic is a byproduct and not the main one
You don't refine oil looking for plastic or asphalt
Plastics can be made from any oil, it's just that petroleum is high yeild
You just produce them on the side and sell them
So what you're saying is oil is mostly a used in transportation like I said
xD
Also the EU has a lot less cars than the us anyway
It is by far the largest slice of that pie
still not mostly
"Laregest", yes, "mostly", no
And it says road transport
I said all transport
thought i forgot what you were argueing about.
Planes trains and boats inckuded
If it was an election it would win, majority enough?
Which they have included separately
So yes mostly oil is used for transportation
@Lucienne d'Anwyl what are you even argueing for right now?
That oil is mostly used for transportation?
It was a basic statement
I don't know why you lot attempted to refute it
It is used in small scale generators sure, but it's nothing compared to natural gas or coal
and what was that impact on the "climate change" arguement?
I don't know I didn't make one
But the oil industry is not in competition with the nuclear industry
ah, ok
And fossil fuels and their companies are not monolithic and should be treated as such
