Energy is everything.
I think the point in the OP is that energy stocks are dead as an investment. If you want maximize growth in your portfolio, you are better off investing in tech stocks and staying away from traditional energy stocks. But too many poeple on this board and in general in LA, TX, OK etc. are too close to the energy sector due to their jobs that prevents them from thinking logically and diversifying their investments and putting their money in sectors they don't already work in.

I don’t see Darren Woods staying “by choice” after the end of the year.

I still can't get my head wrapped around the thought of massive commerical scale battery production.
Do we have enough raw materials to manufacture hundreds of millions of deep cycle batteries? For consumer autos, tractor trailers, trains, heavy equipment, jets?
What about battery disposal at the end of life of the battery?

This isn't the internet revolution we are talking about by a mile. We are talking about replacing investments that people often keep for 15 years, plus all of the infrastructure that they are fueled with, and most sources of power that run said infrastructure. 50 years might be a better estimate

The fault of Jeff immelt. He’d rather have government contracts.

invest in tech stocks
Most tech stocks have valuations far beyond rational levels.
Ppl are just pouring money into them.
I'll sit on some energy stocks who even in shite times are paying 4-6% dividend.
And will double as oil goes back up in the next few years.
Investing in most tech stocks is just betting than somebody is foolish enough to buy at higher values. Basically, it's a pyramid scheme.

If you believe in electrical vehicles.
Invest in mining companies that produce minerals necessary for battery production. It's not a "sexy investment" but it's a cheap way to profit off any vehicle electrification.
In addition. As others have stated billions of the people in the world don't exactly have reliable electricity.
Scale is yet another issue.
There isn't enough cobalt/lithium etc to make all those batteries.
In addition the developing world is starting to use smart phones, tablets, etc. Further stressing battery demand.

Standardize on a cell size. Say, 100A, 100V. Then, you wire a bunch of cells up to get the amperage and voltage you need for a particular vehicle. At end of life, the batteries get pulled and go back to the factory for recovery of raw materials. Very similar to how the core deposit on a battery now helps ensure you'll return a battery so it can be disposed of and reused as much as possible, but on a grand scale. The standard form factor allows for ease in stocking the huge amount of cells needed. There's just one SKU for batteries and the magic happens in the wiring.
Next, solve the rare earth metal problem.

Unfortunately isnt that XOM’s MO- never be first to do something. Wait for the other guy to figure it out and then go in.
