Diesel or petrol starts as oil, on average 1,798 meters below the surface of the earth. A great deal of oil is extracted using what is called a pumpjack. The electricity usage for the 1,42,054 onshore wells that supply oil to India is over 1,415 GWh a month! That's just oil wells on land. What about deep sea drilling?

Current versions of renewable energy such as solar cells and windmills do far less damage to the environment than oil rigs, fracking, and strip mining, but they do damage the environment. A critical issue in decarbonization will also be the role of the electrical grid itself. We need off-grid and on-grid solutions.
