They are right about one thing. There are conspiracies. They are just not the ones they think.

GHG emitters without any alternatives, mainly, oil and gas companies are starting rumors so they stay in business. Even airlines have a pivot and could build HSR integrated with their flight networks, saving air travel for crossing oceans and continents. Ethanol corn farmers could grow food. Even coal miners could reasonably transition into mining metals.

Oil and gas…well I don’t have any ideas. Sorry, but the entire industry needs to shrink an order of magnitude or two.
