Even if we can try and do replace it with green alternatives, it is going to take a massive change to get to where we need to be. Let alone for it to be cost effective and productive enough not to destabilize the entire world. We all saw how some reacted to higher gas prices.
But climate change is wrecking the world as we speak so.....dam. Destabilization either way. We took too long and dragged our feet. Ironically cause of the actions of oil's dark money and propaganda.
I think we're at a crisis point with the climate, we're hitting so many new records and milestones with a rapid pace.
As you say it's all destabilising. What I absolutely don't accept is that the customer should feel the brunt of that chnage. These companies have made record profit in the last few years, what a wonderful opportunity to reinvest and fix so many of the problems they have caused.
Crazy thought: how about we get Greedy Oil Mogul and his ilk to fund the rapid transition, since they stalled progress in order to keep profiting from the current state for so long.
