A ban on ICE vehicles destroys the economic incentive for the carbon balancing of the existing energy infrastructure and transportation fleet through use of renewable crude. Renewable crude is the most practical and affordable path to a carbon balanced economy and mitigating anthropologic global climate change. We thus petition for governments to not ban ICE vehicles but instead mandate the use of renewable fuels.

Electrification would require a complete rebuild of global electricity distribution system and transportation fleet, new sources of renewable electricity and mass production of rare-Earth-mineral batteries. This effort would be expensive with environmental consequences associated with battery production and disposal. Use of nuclear power plants for carbon balanced power may also result in considerable radioactive waste.

Electrification requires the use of relatively disposable or expensive to recycle batteries containing rare earth minerals and a complete replacement of existing energy infrastructure and transportation fleet. Electric vehicles as well are not as convenient with respect to proven and inexpensive Internal-Combustion-Engine (ICE) technology. Electric cars for instance are more expensive, difficult to repair, require battery replacement over time and have long charge periods.

Renewable crude on the other hand is a drop-in solution compatible with the existing transportation fleet and energy infrastructure. Existing internal combustion vehicles (ICE) for instance are inexpensive and convenient. As opposed to the disposing of this convivence we urge governments and companies to promote the development and usage of renewable crude.

Renewable Crude balances the existing carbon cycle while maintaining the convenience the existing transportation fleet and energy infrastructure provides.
