As if there was not plenty of money to be done on renewables, replacing all the current fleet of automobiles, and of course all the financing that will be required to enable the green transition. As if the investor behind both industries weren't basically the same.
There are orders of magnitude more money to be made by the billionaires with a renewable based green transition than with oil. It will be the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class into the pockets of the bastardly rich in the whole history.

- JadeNB 2y ago> huh? People are going to buy cars. They will be electric or they won't. Either way, people are going to buy cars. I think that this is a short-term picture. The US infrastructure has been set up to make owning a car a very rewarding proposition, so, of course, lots of people own cars, and that will continue to be the case as long as things stay in the neighborhood of where they are. But there's no reason that future infrastructure decisions have to be made in a way that continues to privilege cars over other forms of transportation, and car ownership will follow, with a lag, the way that infrastructure decisions point.
