Dear OP, The basic principles of economics show us supply means little withour demand. The dependence on fossil fuel is not due to current supply of the fuel source but rather a result of how the global economy has evolved to rely on it. You don't even have specific actions recommended as solutions big oil can implement to alleviate fossil fuel dependance. At this point you can't even blame them for the cost disparity with renewables since they are much more competitive. These "oil" companies call themselves energy companies because they are investing well outside of petrol for energy supply (such as wind farms). Fossil fuels are not strictly oil and gas. And petroleum had many many critical uses well outside of fuel. R&D is focusing on making "smart" things instead of cheap renewable powered solutions. The likes of Exxon spent a lot of money trying to lobby against climate change mostly to protect their business interests but why are your politicians sk easily bought out? It seems you have a political problem here. Should they listen to big tech's lobbyists instead? Or maybe big tech should protest government's being bought so cheaply by any big corp? Regardless, what is your solution? Make it harder for them by denyig them business? Slow them down? That won't happen. How hard is it for big oil to buy out one of the lower end cloud providers and offer it as an industry optimized alternative to big tech? How about protesting car and plane manufacturers,airlines and cruise ships,etc... as well? You're picking on big oil because they're big and loud not because they can affect the most change. Is this much different than targeting drug cartels in the drug war? Did it work? The solution it appears after all this years is solving for the more difficult problem of why dependence is formed and how to legally and safely administer drugs while solving for the root cause. The problem is too critical to waste time and attention on curing symptoms. The root cause needs solving. The planet was dependent on oil long before climate change research was established, why was dependence formed and what steps can be taken to elimnate it? It feels nice to blame on big bad guy and have a villain to terminate but in the process you're wasting time and effort. And also, please ffs stop trying to do activisim by making companies do things politicians should do. Figure out why the election ballot is not effective before you vote with your wallet.
