This just in: few companies supply energy to our planet.
This shouldn’t surprise anyone. These are massive conglomerates that will keep pumping as long as the demand exists
These are massive conglomerates that will keep demand high by attacking alternative energy sources, funding climate denial, and engaging in sanctioned corruption.
And (artificially) lowering fossil fuel prices, if we tax the shit out of oil companies, people will start looking for alternatives.
Yeah - those headlines do more harm than good as people will just point fingers and think it’s enough to shut those companies down in order to fix climate change…
As long as there’s demand other companies will step in and then instead of those few you have 10-20 supplying the same amount of oil with nothing gained
subsidy and investment on green energy are great ideas to cut the cycle. they could be doing that.
instead we subsidy and invest in fossil fuels instead…
How would there ever be less demand if these same companies sabotage any alternative?
