Oil burned to move oil fuels electrification debate

Commenters are highlighting the irony and inefficiency of burning large quantities of oil simply to transport oil around the world, arguing the case for electrifying transport is overwhelming. One post on a climate-focused network argues that no amount of contorting the facts can explain away the logic of switching to electric power, and others are amplifying the point in discussions about energy policy and climate change.
Why now: People are debating energy transition arguments, using the inefficiency of oil logistics as evidence that electrification makes sense.
