Experts are saying that
Experts are saying that battery-electrics will be roughly 50% or less in 2050. Further, your last sentence is bogus. The U.S. is now the world's top oil producer. The climate change debate will continue raging because so far, no one has satisfactorily answered questions of how much human emissions actually play into the change we're seeing, which is far below the projected changes by experts given over the last 20+ years because, we're finding, models were fundamentally and seriously flawed from the get-go and still seem to be just as questionable now. Further, we don't get "energy security" when we move to EVs simply because we cannot produce the power, nor deliver it if the EV becomes a half or full replacement for ICE. Not without very significant updates to our grid as well as some big steps forward in solar, wind, and other electricity production. All on a time scale that is fast in relation to the normally glacial pace that infrastructure tends to upgrade with.
