Absolute AGREE!!! Why are so few others pointing this out!! If oil was heroin, our current approach is like telling heroin dealers to keep pushing their drugs, but put all the onus on the junkies to stop buying so much of the heroin. It is TOTALLY backwards! I am saying this as someone who benefits immensely from living in an oil producing country (Norway). We are f...ing expanding our oil production while building windmills to make our oil production "cleaner." Everybody in Norway seems to be patting themselves on the back that we are reaching our climate goals by reducing emissions from oil production. Never mind that those emissions are like 1% of the emissions from actually burning the oil. But that problem we leave to the buys. It is infuriating. My proposal to win over fellow Norwegians is that we join an oil Cartel like OPEC. We then lobby OPEC to become a cartel for green change. All oil producers agree to begin gradual reductions in output. This will cause the price to go up, so Norway and other will not get the big economic hit that is making it politically unpopular to reduce oil production. It also means all oil producers share they burden. Oil consumers will then have to start reducing their consumption because oil will get more expensive. This ought to be a win-win situation.
