Cynically, why?
There's a global demand for oil and gas.
Why shouldn't they want to meet that demand?
Like, he and others like him across the world don't want to save the planet, they want to make money.
It is the role of government, and tangentially, tech innovators to decide that oil and gas shouldn't be used. Then government and innovation build the tools, products and frameworks to make that a reality.
I'm not defending oil and gas, I'm simply pointing out that it isn't illegal to meet a global demand, someone other than him is supposed to replace that demand.
Both can be true. You can hate the player and hate the game.
Fine, hate everyone, but why should this guy listen to scientists? He's making money hand over fist and seemingly has no reservations about it.
Don't mind if I do.
That's why selling out the planet for profit should be made illegal.
Not by him. By a government. I said this above. Didn't you read it?
He got 4 kids in their 30s. Leaving them a world worth living in could be something worthwhile to pursue.
He's made it clear he doesn't care, making oil is his motivation.
Besides that's not the point. I commented on the motivation of an oil and gas exec "listening" to scientists
