Lol ok what ever..... solar and wind power are very viable.....No they aren't.
Oil isn't going to run out magically any time soon .. supplies have never been larger and the move towards gas, which is a waste gas usually burnt off in oil fields .. means supplies will continue probably for over 100 years at least.
Still zero reasons other than ideology whilst the "supposed" environmental reasons are the opposite.
Germany dropped Nuclear and went coal .. where do you get this rubbish from ? They even went with Lignite which is the most polluting form of coal there is.
And let's face it .. the current "Greening" rules came in because Germany decided it was a good idea to plant one crop .. without hedges .. which led to everyone in the EU having to plant 3 crops mandatory.
On every level "Renewables" is not very good .. and it doesn't undercut oil based power at all. Withou subsidied no "Renewables" would be viable. Try selling renewable power at 6p a unit to justify the costs .. what planet do you live on ?
by the way renewables will always be cheaper than fossil fuels, I will not wast my breath in details explaining that, other than it comes from the air or sky for free..... no extraction, refinement, pumping transport etc etc... and fossil fuel power stations get massive sub In the form of payments for being sat idle, when not needed it’s the just in case payments.... they get payed even when not producing power, how is that not sub and a cost on the consumer.
Germany
As you can see Germany has doubled its enegy production at the same time its reduced its nuclear fuel use, the cost base of its energy is falling, as investments are repayed energy prices can fall. If a factory owner installed solar on the factory roof and supplemented or replaced the need for Grid power in his factory, at least part time, for the next 30 years for a one off cost that normally you get a return on in 10years that means they get 20 years of free power...!. free power...!. free power....! how is oil or coal cheaper?
Solar can now be installed with no sub and it still pays for itself, what’s changing is the export price, the best a person gets now is 4p a kw/hr, for exported electric which makes your 6p 33% to expensive, bearing in mind the electric companies then resell it for 11-16p per unit, to the house next door. But the home owner saves on buying electric at the same rate and exports what they don’t need, these people, are not billionaires....

These systems would have cost over 20k 5 years ago. Even with rates at 4p and saving based on consumption at time of production, they still make sense if you have a good roof and day time electric demands, throw in battery storage, you can increase your savings but at the battery prices at the moment it’s less clear if this is a good investment.
Oil is not used in any big way for electricity production, it’s coal and gas, oil is still very important, large amounts of shipping by road and sea will depend on oil for a good long time yet, but oil prices have fallen because of the increase of renewables, it’s the increase of renewables that has seen oil prices tumble, so will the increases in cars using electric, these changes force oil down again in price this has been the best benefit of renewable power use, you seem to not notice these benefits...?
When the demand for oil drops by a good margin the OPEC counties will not be able to cut supply’s to the point of effecting the markets as they do now.
Don’t forget pollution free cities from going to electric cars all these innovations have been driven by climate change....... and now price, now we have economies of scale and prices of renewable tech has fallen, its self sustaining. Most new cars will be hybrids or all electric by 2040, and maybe sooner than that. And I expect the cars to become part of the national grid and act as battery storage for the nation grid. To help with supply and demand jumps around renewable production.
You don’t live in the same world you did 10 years ago, things have changed and for the better if you chose to see that fact.
