Why hoax ? It`s already happening.
It happens but it does not have impact on oil and other resources consumption, oil demand will continue to increaee, that western centric view is annoying.
And you now those cars still needs metals, minerals, oil and energy to be on roads and move around.
 
Of course, nothing will replace fossil fuels, gas and dams, for the next 50 years.

solar & wind energies will never be sufficient even for a small village.
Statements that talk about replacing them in 10-15 years are pure copium by non oil/gas producing countries.

I can hear Abu Dhabi laughing from here.

Of course it's nears being physically impossible.

Even if they will rush building nuclear plants with all construction equipment they physically have right now, there is no way they can build more than 30-40 plants simultaneously.

EU's steel, and concrete industries will too max out at around that number.

Realistically, they would be limited to around 20 NPPs even if they had a partially mobilised wartime command economy.

This does not preclude however that they cannot do something to reduce energy usage without major consequences.

Germany for example can stop subsidising its own energy exports based on Russian gas.

It is silly to tHink tha fossil fuels will diminish and become less imporfant, there are plenty of countries who would use it as cheap source of energy for developement as long there are oil and gas, fancy EV are just novelty and feel good items for woked population.
Sure, they will. ofc Not so fast for transportation, but for electricy generation definitely, expecially in Europe. Renewable energy already covers > 20% of the EU Power generation and it`s growing.
 
I think that oil/gas can be replaced in the long term but that drastic of a change worldwide in such a short period of time is unrealistic.
It can be replaced shortly right after the capitalism cease to exist as main global force, otherwise it is holy grail for idealistic people.
But even with that overall consumption would not decrease much it would be just transfered as service to support that so called green revolution which is all but not that.
Only artificial sun could make impactfull difference but that is another utopian thing.
 
The old world is Africa, Europe, Asia. Americas is backwater, so is Australia and New Zealand. If you look at a globe, you see how geographically isolated the US is. Heck, native Americans never even left the stone age because of geographic isolation. Ditto Australia and New Zealand.
US is suprisingly Powerful for backwater.

I was not aware that europeans use oil for electricity production...every electric energy engenier will tell you that is impossible to project stable and big power grid with renewable, those are all things for media show and politicians to take votes from population who cares about ecology.
 
The weird stories from Western media never stops. They're now pressuring the US Treasury Department to sanction Alina Kabaeva, a young Russian gymnastics girl, whom they suspect of being Vladimir Putin's "girlfriend". What? They're now trying to find out who Putin bangs? Their dumb stories are endless.
