Check out this interesting article suggesting EVs and renewable energy could push oil to $10 a barrel by 2025:-

> **[‘’EVs, Solar Could Push Oil Down To $10 By 2025’’ | OilPrice.com](https://oilprice.com/Energy/Oil-Prices/EVs-Solar-Could-Push-Oil-Down-To-10-By-2025.html)**

> Oil prices could fall to as low as $10 per barrel within a decade as a “tsunami” of threats could undo demand according to French energy giant Engie

Really? I can see the EV impact but renewable energy is currently very expensive - just ask tax payers in the UK!

Unless they build some more Nuke plants I think oil will have a market. Have to have something to generate the electricity for all these electric cars.

Personally I don’t think oil is dead and buried just yet and will be around for some time to come. Will it be as popular as it has been - probably not as new technology and greater efficiencies boost renewables in the longer term. Perhaps we should be focusing on the cleaner air which EVs bring with them - we really do underestimate the pollution in the air we breathe every day,
