    If everyone switched to an EV today, the electric grid would collapse and there would be mass catastrophe.

    These protesters have a good point but they are extremely short sighted. We simply cannot just stop oil. We can slowly phase out oil usage, which is what most major economies are doing. Which is why these protesters look like clowns to anyone paying any attention at all.

      If you go to the just stop oil website, they are very clearly talking about stopping all new contracts, not existing ones. It’s perfectly possible to achieve this.
