I am afraid, that I do not understand that. I am Dutch, maybe I lack context.

No, being Dutch is not why you don't understand. No one does. Am I just crazy? Being Dutch, I expect you understand what an oil company is, even if RoyalDutchShell did move to the UK. Can you not imagine a way that the issuer of a sovereign currency could destroy an oil company?

I think we need the oil, for the time being, while we make an inventory of necessary knowledge, design a sustainable society, and migrate to that society. But oil companies could be nationalized?

Nationalizing would just invest the nation in them; then it'd be even more difficult to make them go away, according to the IPCC schedule. There are how many, say 10 oil companies? Just destroy one per year, then we might survive.

There would be chaos, anarchy. We nee a good plan that will bring people together, I think.

I disagree. I think oil companies are the source of the corruption and chaos we are currently experiencing.

You would have to design a society that can do without oil, and implement that, before we can do without oil.

Societies emerge spontaneously. It's impossible to plan for artificial scarcity of fossil fuel without first creating that scarcity.
