Others might say these companies are just giving people what they need and demand: cheap, easy to use energy.
Instead of demonizing the current energy regime with petulant, ridiculous rhetoric, maybe that time is better used on building viable alternatives for customers.
You can try to “Just Stop Oil” but currently without fossil fuels, the world stops.
If strongly advocating for the well being of humanity in no uncertain terms is “petulant” and “ridiculous” then count me in.
And if you were to actually read my post (which I assume you can?) you would find that I’m not advocating “stopping” oil, I’m advocating for responsible extraction with concomitant carbon capture or some other solution, of which there are many, aside from just making the survival of the species someone else’s problem while they stuff their pockets with money.
Until that happens they are literally and knowingly stealing from the future of humankind for personal gain.
The people also want murder for hire, heroin, and nuclear weapons. Should we also just say, “well, it’s what the people want, so I guess it’s just the wisdom of the market!” Should we allow these markets to operate uncontrolled as well?
The “off with their heads” and “by any means necessary” rhetoric is laughable and yes, petulant. For better or worse, the modern world would not exist without oil.
Your arguments are so far removed from reality that they are difficult to take seriously.
Instead of funneling resources to counter productive efforts like building more armies of do-nothing government regulators and gifting trillions to the private sector via regulatory capture the focus should be on new efficient, competitive technology for electric automobiles, energy generation and storage. Particularly on cheap storage
Carbon taxes and sequestration are simply someone lobbying for the right to make a buck while adding no value whatsoever.
