The time is therefore now to plan an orderly wind-down of fossil fuel assets and manage the impact on the global economy rather than try to sustain the unsustainable. The worst year for oil ever Oil fueled the 20th century. Many of us now believe it is not a matter of if, but when we will transition away from fossil fuels.
