I&#x27;m always intrigued by how progress in many fields is measured by what people complain about.<p>Like, linux desktop complaints go from &quot;no-one without a degree in CS can install or boot this&quot; to &quot;there&#x27;s only 2000 games in the Steam catalogue that work on Linux&quot;, yet rarely do the people complaining realise that their complaints are actually wild praise from the perspective of yesterday.<p>Similarly, the acceptance that electric is both inevitable and better for commuter cars, taxis, delivery vehicles, motorbikes, scooters, buses, trains etc. can be stated as &quot;planes, boats, long haul trucks still need liquid fuel&quot;.<p>Note the article at no point claims that electric cars equals no more burning oil. They suggest that it could lead to a softening of demand, roughly the same size as the overproduction that&#x27;s got people so worked up recently.
