New ICE Vehicles Banned in California by 2035

Looks to me like Toyota was pressured by the woke mob to change its stance on its ev timetable. It's become a religion. Companies who don't play along have their share price leaned on. Esg over practicality and profitability

This is fairly normal capitalism for everyone to race to bring to market new technology or new trends. Like Dadhawk said, this really has nothing to do with EVs. It could be applied to autonomous technology, which is associated more with EVs and Tesla, but ride sharing isn’t new; in its popular form it is called car rentals and taxi services like Uber, which are fairly mature markets.

I know you are against EVs, but the environment aside, what do you suggest is the alternative to us running out of oil in several decades?

The woke mob are rich investors? Stock is up 5%. I’m sure that isn’t from BLM or those college hippies or people with alternative pronouns… your woke mob references.

Same question, what do you think we should do about running out of oil in several decades?

It'll take a lot longer than that to run out of oil. I worked for an oil exploration subsidiary.

If we move to electric and have more fuel efficient vehicles than the timeline gets stretched, as demand drops. We can’t extract all the oil because of physics and cost balloons to extract it, so that is a factor. As it gets more expensive, the economy will naturally shift to renewables, so demand drops and delays the inevitable point of “running out” of oil. My point is, given the reality that we will never actually run out of oil, but rather, production costs will eclipse profitability, what is your timeline for the world getting to that point? If demand neither increases or decreases, when would we run out?

Proven reserves based on a flat demand curve put us out to 47 years, but obviously we would see prices spiking before then, so in some ways, the goals to switch to renewables/EVs seem even more necessary and dire. Production will peak before the end, so maybe 30 years. What timeline are you thinking?

That's Wikipedia Google search bullshit. All slanted to push us towards renewables. Plus, oil is used in plastics and the furrys need their cat boxes.
