@bof has magical thinking that energy use is only supply and somehow demand/consumption isn’t part of the equation. The reality is @bof’s standard of living is wholly and entirely dependent on energy from direct use to cook, drive, fly and every single item used or consumed- food, drink, clothing, housing, etc uses oil in in its manufacture and supply chain. @bof is deluded in thinking all that happens by magic.
