@Blackvegetable  just don't even try . Ok? You don't have the intellectual capacity to understand this. So just do yourself, and all of us a favor, and shut up.

The Black Gold Noose

 We spun a web of silken steel,
A thread of black, a fate to seal.
From earth’s deep veins we drew our prize,
And built our empires on its lies.

 The light we touch, the dark we crave,
We thirst for what we cannot save.
A fragile scale, a razor's edge,
A kingdom teetering on the ledge.

 One shift, one crack, the balance sways,
A single tremor shakes the maze.
The markets whisper, then they wail,
A gust of doubt—our towers pale.

 The hand once clasped, now clenched in war,
Old foes embrace, old friends abhor.
For gold that burns in endless thirst,
All bonds dissolve, all treaties burst.

 The black veins pulse beneath our feet,
Their echo drums in markets' beat.
Yet deeper still, a hunger grows,
A debt we owe but dare not know.

 And when the tide at last recedes,
When shattered realms are left to bleed,
Will echoes of our engine’s cry
Be all that's left to haunt the sky?

And it will soon all collapse, due to the greed over this black gold.

Well  you seem to be figuring out that Drill Baby Drill may not be the most prudent thing to do at this juncture.

Humanity is going to fry like an egg on drugs, if the egg can still afford them.

That's the conundrum. Humanity depends on oil like we depend on air and food. We can't stop drilling. That would be suicide. At the same time, we can't avoid the greed that comes with it. That greed will be the end of us.

Aye,  nobody is trying to make renewable powered farm equipment.  The EV's are pittance in the carbon emissions and the electricity is generated burning natural gas anyway.  We should be conserving every drop of fuel so we don't starve.  It is not an endless supply unless some magic turns the dinosaurs in government into petrol.
 
I sure would push for biofuel for farming if I could. If we make it another 400 years it may be all we have.

Check this Out..  This could be a serious game changer for humanity if we could spin hydrogen fuel.  I hear some algea can make it. Light cells also work with  methane so we could turn our farts into electricity.

John Deere is coming out with a new lines of EV farm equipment next year

Now that tRump fell in love with the electric car, it will be embraced 

if/when Tesla starts making electric farm equipment 

Elon will get more subsidies and grants

I have electric lawnmowers and a snowblower that work great

not for green reasons 

I just have a terrible history with gas powered equipment 

tRump has become EVs best ally
