But.... but... that insane movement away from destroying the planet we live on will destroy the fossil fuel industry and then soon we will all have to live in caves...

...said a fossil fuel lobbyist or their paid stooges in politics while ignoring all new technologies. Because only when they convince you that you need to fight for your right to keep burning fossil fuels and everything else will lead to a catastrophe can they continue to maximise the revenues from their technological dead end as long as possible.

PS: Also Axel Springer SE is now (since 2019) majority-owned by KKR, one of the big players in financials still heavily investing into fossil fuels... but that is surely just another coincidence.
