More recently, one of the biggest markets for oil - transport - has also been forced to contend with growing numbers of major economies signalling a phase-out of fossil fuel car sales within the next 10 to 15 years, alongside the acceleration of the electric vehicle (EVs) market. Solar and wind power will dominate the net zero economy.

There are basically three ways to accommodate the variability of wind and solar energy: use storage, deploy generation in a coordinated fashion across a wide area of the country along with more transmission, and manage electricity demand to better match the supply. Storage is now largely being provided by lithium-ion batteries.
