Leading energy companies are intent on pushing the world in the opposite direction, expanding fossil fuel production and insisting that there is no alternative. It is evidence that they are motivated not by record warming, but by record profits, experts say.
Capitalism, actually. The private firms have owners and employees (who might have shares) who look around at the state of the world as is, see how fruitless change is, and decide on their individual gains over the needs of the many. Systemically we converged to a system that blossoms profit, in theory, but doesn’t take in the reality of the world.
Sounds like they were highly motivated to make the world better. Oops, guess they weren’t. Just profit driven removed like many other big disaster companies in the world.
Anyways, there always nuclear power.
I don’t think O&G outright tells them they’re buying it to shove it in the attic either.
