Your analysis isn't entirely incorrect, but you're kind of missing the point. Oil and gas companies one day were necessary and provided more value than destruction (as far as we knew). At this point though, it's clear that oil and gas will one day be a thing of the past, and these massive industries are desperately trying to cling on in the face of this. Evidence of this is present in the lobbying efforts funded to the tune of billions of dollars a year (by these industries) to ensure regulations don't get passed, subsidies don't reach green technology, and information is suppressed. This is evil. No one is contesting the fact that we needed oil and gas to reach where we are today. We're just contesting the fact that we still need to be expanding these industries, which lobbyists are trying to do every single day. > Maybe let’s come up with solutions that don’t require pushing millions of people into poverty because they can no longer heat their homes or grow their food. Maybe let's come up with a solution that prevents inevitable mass migrations, famine, and wars. (This statement is just as fallacious as yours -- see, I can do it too.) |
