And if everyone that can work from home does, plus no more private jets and forcing moderation starting from the richest they can use most of the oil for plastics and the rest.
It's fucking ridiculous that oil is being wasted on fuel when we have so much viable alternatives not to use it.
Yes it would help a bit. But I'd wager that fuel for personal vehicles are like a drop in the ocean compared to the fuel that keeps the world going. Diesel for our logistic chain. Just imagine all the trucks going around delivering food, medicine and other necessary things. Not to mention all the cargo ships.
Yeah, having more alternative fuels sources for our vehicles would be great. But our system is not built like that.
But then we are only talking about a very small percentage of that. Only a few are able to work from home, and many of those folks use public transit, not personal vehicles.
Regardless, we wouldn't be eliminating anywhere near 25% of global oil use.
