There are by-products from oil and gas which are essential for building manufacturing equipment needed for our industries and it's products. While electrifying is the future, i don't think we can wean ourselves completely off these products for some time.

You're right, there currently is, but there doesn't have to be. I agree that weening off will take a while, but that could be a boat load better with incentives
