Title.

So. Electric cars are gaining in popularity, therefore the popularity of gasoline will be going down. Won't the price go down, leaving the oil industry in trouble?
Electric cars are good for health and nature, I think now it's not yet bad for oil companies because Electric cars is maybe only 10% compared to oil operated engines/vehicles. I think it's not really  bad for the oil industry because more of the electricity suppliers also uses oils. It's a sort of it will not be consumed for vehicles but will be consumed by the electric companies, their earnings will maybe lessen but it'll not vanish.
