A lot of cobalt is used in the refining of petrol, diesel, etc.. as a catalyst to remove sulphur.

They didn't check the shade of its coral blue lipstick. Fatal mistake.

Absolutely, but the change in demand for the various fuels and fractions is not going to be simultaneous or linear, which is going to lead to some pretty wild fluctuations in supply (and consequently, prices). It will eventually find the right equilibrium, but that’s gonna take a while.

It’s a soul crushing job with an extremely high turnover rate, most people can’t handle it for very long. Unfortunately that means the ones who don’t actually care about the kids last a lot longer in the field.

It's going to be a wild ride for sure. But outside of planes I don't think that fossil fuels in general have much future.
Ships can be moved by some combination of wind power (turbines, not sails for large container ships), batteries or "green" hydrogen (which makes such hydrogen effectively a kind of fluid battery).
Large, long range planes are the one exception where a solution isn't available or easily foreseeable for the near (decade or 2) future, because of particular volume and weight restrictions.
The price of gasoline won't matter much when gas stations close. And gas stations will close when a sizable percentage of the customer base switched to BEVs.
Also, depending on regional market a more or less relevant percentage of the gas price is not just the cost of gas production and distribution but also taxes. And those taxes can easily get raised further to discourage gasoline. Which is likely to happen.
Diesel will quickly die alongside gasoline, except for a niche of construction vehicles, etc..
Diesel/gas won't make a difference when it comes to getting replaced by BEVs for regular cars. In a decade it might well be easier to find a charger than a gas station.

I would add that the focus should be on making public transit better than driving your car. I live in a large city with public transportation but driving is still the better option for most. I work only 2.5 miles from my house. I can drive there in 8 minutes or take public transportation there in 45 minutes.

Technically he didn't personally put it back. The caretakers at the lab where he works did.

This is crazy because I live in Houston and have seen the tik tok account pop up on my for you page in the past. It would always be the kids talking about religion and their lives. Would never have guessed this was going on

Active in conspiracy subreddits, antivax, general wingnuttery.
Yeah, this checks out. Either a deliberate misinformer or a conspiracy idiot.
Nothing to see here, move along.
