I’m not denying that. But “big oil” provides for personal needs. It’s not like private consumption and hydrocarbon extraction are two completely separate concepts. One exists to feed the other. If we really want to do something about this clusterfuck we need to be ready to change our personal consumption patterns; total depersonalization of responsibility is ridiculous and naive.
Ah yes, buy less advocado toast and buy an electric car that is almost as poluting with our current production and infrastructure. No you can’t out buy the oil industry. If we are talking meat consumption than less we do have more say in scaling it back.

There is a demand because they lobby away investment in alternatives.
