Actually the very best thing that could happen would be for the producers to increase the price of oil and gas. If they would increase the price by 2X or 3X or 5X, people might finally get the message and start conserving. This would stretch out the time line for the oil companies and for the planet. The biggest single problem with oil is that is is still so incredibly inexpensive that we use it without thinking to destroy our planet. I can buy gasoline today at $2.80/gallon. It should be at least $10/gallon --- then people would at least hesitate before taking a drive in their pickup truck, and it might inspire more people to electrify everything.
