When Will We Have the Last Oil Spill?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Joe Biden, in the last debate of the 2020 campaign, said that it was time to "transition away from the oil industry," and his Build Back Better plan does precisely that, with serious money behind a push to use penalties and tax credits to spur utilities toward clean energy.
48% : But if that helps oil companies for a quarter, or three, it hurts it in the long term: gas is about $3.25 a gallon right now, and that means that anyone thinking about, say, a new pickup truck has one more reason to choose the electric Ford F-150, with the car company already taking preorders for spring delivery.
36% : (And the inability of the oil industry to monitor its equipment is maddening -- the damage may have been caused as long as a year ago by an anchor hitting the pipe.)
