    You will still be paying the market rate for fuels, it doesn’t make a difference where they come from. Also, “sustainably recovering”? That doesn’t exist.

    Drilling for oil is also expensive and leaves you with nothing again the moment you have burnt it.

      Yes, but more importantly (imho, and ignoring, y’know, fucking up the environment): every drop of oil produced just delays the transition to renewables, and the longer it’s left the more painful it will be.
