Get this through your brick head. Fossil fuels are the PAST, PRESENT, and the FUTURE.
They're not going anywhere, no matter what you and your clueless deluded treehugging brethren keep chirping.
That's what so much of the hysteria is over - fossil fuels. Those with vested interests in trying to destroy fossil fuels such as Tom Steyer or in trying to destroy American-based oil companies such as Soros have their flunkies whip everyone into a frenzy over the temperature rising a percent every ten thousand years or whatever. They fail to mention that scientists not in on the propaganda will tell you that cold temperatures are actually worse, and that there's no proof we're the cause anyway.
And then you have China and other countries who won't do anything to slow down pollution they're creating no matter what. There's no point in us destroying our economy by going to unreasonable and excessive levels of attempting to control our own pollution as long as they're not lowering theirs.

Another myth perpetuated by those trying to destroy the oil companies is that oil companies are only into oil and want to destroy all other possible sources of energy. Exxon and Chevron have some of the smartest people on earth working for them.
An “all of the above” approach to energy is best, and is in fact what major oil / energy companies live by, believe it or not. It’s those on the far left who actually DON’T follow the “all of the above” – they want to take fossil fuels out of the equation.
It’s not practical at this time to abandon fossil fuels. Energy needs to be affordable, reliable, reasonably efficient, and able to be mass produced on a big enough level quickly enough to be able to serve our needs. When we have alternative energies that can do that, they will be in demand and “oil” companies and everyone else will be onboard.
Alternative forms of energy have to be good enough to survive in the free market. You cannot have big govt forcing such forms of energy on everyone, giving such companies special favors while deliberately trying to destroy oil companies, and bailing their chosen companies out with our tax dollars over and over when their products don’t work on a large scale the way they need to.
