Seems like it’s mostly just pushing things forward faster than was originally going to happen without the war. That is, we’re still past the point where cheap oil is available, oil keeps getting more expensive because we have to keep getting harder to get oil that costs more to extract, and thus alternatives are becoming increasingly attractive, and the alternatives keep coming down in price while oil keeps going up. It really does seem to be only a matter of time until we’ve made the switch, and this war as probably just made oil more expensive sooner than it otherwise would have been and so pushed incentives to develop and switch to alternatives forward.
