Depends how small they can make it,what the waste material is, and whether it can explode in a nuclear fireball. If it's clean, it may mean the end of nuclear and coal. If it scales down and is throttleable and can'tbe turned into a bomb, it could be anywhere from the end of natural gas generators up to personal home power plants or electric cars running on cold fusion batteries. I doubt it can be miniaturized to that extent though, at least not immediately, so most likely it means a revolutionary new power source replacing much of our more dirty generation techniques. Greens should be happy at least.
I doubt oil is going away, at least for a while. It's still the best means of power storage for transportation purposes. Unless cold fusion is as revolutionary as the Iron Man Arc Reactor, oil will still be needed for all our transportation needs and likely for emergency power generation.
I love to hear people complain about gas vehicles ruining our climate. I ask them how do you get your goods? How is your food or any other service provided to you? Large trucks that are not electric. The cost for even a Wal-Mart to go fully electric would bankrupt them. “Walmart Canada said the additional trucks reserved(115 of 130, 15 ordered in 17) are part of a $2.6 billion investment into reducing carbon emissions. The retailer aims to operate with zero emissions by 2040” $2.6 BILLION wtf?? All these climate idiots need to think China/India as THE LARGEST pollutants and guess what it’s not from cars and trucks it’s largely from manufacturing. I mean the cost for Walmart USA, Publix, Kroger, could you imagine the cost for a damn electric truck fleet they haven’t even started ordering them. And then all these idiots ordering off Amazon 20 times a day with 20 different delivery drop offs....think of how massive that fleet is now. It’s wild.
Those people are clueless blissninnies who think their cheeseburgers come from Charles Jr. and not from a beef farmer in the midwest who raised that animal on a pasture for two years before taking it to slaughter, using trucks to move feed, equipment, and cattle the whole time. They have no clue where any of their stuff comes from or how it gets made or who is getting rich off of their consumption.
Just once, everyone should work fast food.
Just once, everyone should work retail.
Just once, everyone should kill and butcher an animal.
Would like to see how much of their output is strictly fuel products used by power plants. Most are massively diversified although much of it is petrochemical related (plastics, lubricants, solvents, etc.). Oil in some way, shape, or form is part of nearly everything we interact with and cannot be easily replaced. They won't be going anywhere for a long time.
Yes, big if true. So what’s gonna happen to the big oil companies? They’ve got at least another 25-35 years left I think.

Then more people might have a clue.
