So that the US has achieved oil independence, what will we do with it all after the electric car takes over??? Someone make a home AC unit that runs on diesel?????
the answer to your question about where will all the oil go is probably this: the U.S. will use diesel and natural gas to generate electricity at the majority of power plants for the next 50 years. "renewable" energy - solar, wind, geothermal accounted for about 11% of all U.S. electric production in 2019. unless there is some "major breakthrough" in physics regarding these sources of energy, renewables will not replace fossil fuel electric generation for decades. however, that does not mean transportation vehicles of all types will not transition to electric. they will. the question that no one has answered yet - especially the insane NUTS running California - is this: right now, only about 2% of all new vehicles are hybrid-electric or total electric. that means 98% of all new vehicles are still internal combustion vehicles. how will you be able to add 98% more vehicles to the "electric grid" and still maintain sufficient electric for residential and industrial use?
