Biden did NOT slip up with "transition from oil."

32. Biden's Framing

One of the key techniques that the oil industry uses when arguing against alternative energy is the idea that no one AE can replace oil. That is true, but it is also misleading. If you have electrified, interchangeable systems in place, a spectrum of sources including oil can be used together to meet most needs. Move towards electric cars and light trucks, you don't eliminate the use of oil outright, but you are freer to mix power generated from wind, LNG, nuclear, or geothermal coupling into the mix. This pushes oil production into places where you need it more: heavy equipment and jet fuel that can best utilize the combo of power and portability that oil provides

None of this is news to energy engineers. What is killing oil companies is the fear of leaving a secured but diminishing market for a potentially larger but riskier one.
