  It's not an excuse, it is bad but their problem is the problem of capitalism. The problem with fossil fuels is both supply and demand. Involving suppliers with your efforts to move demand to a better fuel source is wisw in my opinion. Antagonizing supply while creating separate competition against fossil supply while scaring consumer demand to their competition means you made yourself their natural enemy. With a fight you must win in order to succeed. With a partnership you must find a viable solution to succeed but even then you still have to solve for demand.

Cools, CNOOC,Gazprom and Aramco will supply most of the planet that can't afford to buy green cars and switch their electric grids to green sources, make their ships green,etc... Dying American geopolitical strong arming can only take you so far.
