Heavy industry and core infrastructure are the last things that people interested in renewables will be fighting over. The low hanging fruit of personal vehicles and electricity generation is what's killing the middle east oil cartel.
And mine was that it doesn't need to. The only reason it needs a ton of oil is if it wants to emulate the US obsession with private transportation, which even the US is getting away from. It's not like Civ 6 here: they don't need to invent the internal combustion engine for themselves.
For one, it makes it hard to find the counterarguments, which are often where the best parts of the discussion are.
I think the point about the cure for low oil prices is low oil prices stands on its own, but not as a virtue (not that I think you were implying that).
It's a warning. Low oil prices cause complacency, which means the next minor emergency we have to go crawling back to them whether we want to or not. Low oil prices are the anesthetic in the mosquito's saliva.
Nuclear trains might make sense with some of the newer reactors... but we know that'll never happen.
