> I really don't understand the whole cars are in league with big oil. I'd guess car manufacturers have two economic interests: 1) The less energy for automobiles costs, the more people will use them, and 2) the less economic harm there is from climate change, the more people will use cars. I could see #1 motivating auto manufacturers to support the oil industry, and #2 motivating them to support clean energy.
