TLDR: Fossil fuels are going to all but end sooner or later.
My take, the industry can waste time and money lobbying and wrecking their reputation and the planet even more, or they can get with the program and start transitioning to other operations. I.e. they can choose the redemption arc or the self destruction arc.
I completely agree. I see another 15 minute city, NJB, and War on Cars person here.
