Oil has uses other than automotive fuel
Certainly true and yes, that will put a floor under the price.
as an energy player, the global oil industry is doomed
That's good, isn't it? People have been pointing out for quite a while that just burning something as useful as oil is pretty silly. It also means that the world is not going to run out of oil in the foreseeable future, right?
Coal is going to be raking in money hand over fist for a while as prices spike
I don't know about that -- there is an awful lot of gas around.
Do you happen to have some sort of a timetable for your predictions?
the world has been collectively insane about fission
While that may be true, I don't see any signs of the world becoming more sane.
tesla says the model e is going live 2017. Average fleet turnover is 7 years and with affordable EV's on the market (I am sort of assuming at least some competition from other manufacturers here..) combustion cars become roughly as marketable as a buggy and horse, so near-total conversion to electric cars 80+ %) by 2027 - the knockon effects of that on the grid are very predictable, so a sudden dire interest in more baseload during that time period.
As per a recent comment this thread is meant to voice contrarian opinions, that is anything this community tends not to agree with. Thus I ask you to post your contrarian views and upvote anything you do not agree with based on personal beliefs. Spam and trolling still needs to be downvoted.
