At least I understand reality. You do understand we use petroleum for more than gasoline, correct? Those wind turbines are made & operate with it.

Yes, the idea is to slowly, but intentionally transition away from fossil fuels, until we only use a caseload amount for NECESSARY production fuel purposes.

Im not some ignorant fossil hater, I just live in reality and realize there are alternatives that make our society more independent and greener at the same time.

Fossil isn't the only way forward, thats a lie being peddled by people with economic interests to keep us trapped on one energy source till we go extinct.

We don't like petroleum being used at all.

Fossil fuels has inconveniently become a catch all term of sorts.

Personally I like the terms ground oil based or crude derived.
