Petroleum will be around for some time yet, but I agree one should not assume it will be a growth industry too much forward. Alternative technology is getting better, new tech like fusion has a real possibility of being very disruptive, and the real consequences of climate change will only become clearer in time. All industries evolve, grow, and then eventually die... like all things in life. You can stick your head is the sand and pretend all is great (again), but it does not change the trend. Better to get on a train heading up the mountain.
Felt that this was a good post that deserves more visibility. OP is @X1dcYEr-8oid .
