Somehow I doubt that this will be the issue that Marge postulates may push Charles to abdicate his throne. Annual North Sea Oil & Gas leases, oh my, the horror! Net Zero 2050, I'll turn 86 that year should I live so long. Battery tech will have to advance similar to memory storage capacity it seems to me before we have any hope of success weaning the world off oil & gas. It would be awesome to store a terawatt hour in something the size of a USB drive. This is the sci-fi kinda stuff that has to happen for planes to fly without jet fuel. Poor Charles, I am sure all my Commonwealth Green friends here at PF and around the world are bristling in their britches at this indignity forced upon him.
