But, to be fair, some are all-but logical consequences of others. E.g., Points 3 and 5 all-but logically imply Point 7. That is, if the amount of oil produced declines (point 3) and all the alternatives fail to fill the gap (point 5), then the available energy production rate will drop (point 7). (It’s not quite a logical implication because we might find a way to extract more energy from a given amount oil.)
14 conjunctions. Fifteen statements connected by ands uses fourteen conjuncitons. E.g. “A and B and C” has two uses of “and”.
Fifteen conjuncts, then :).
