"Have you ever tried simply turning off Fossil Fuel industry production, sitting down with their CEOs, and hitting them?"
Sounds fun, but unfortunately most of the human species would quickly die of starvation if that were to happen, so until we have a plan to not just let everyone die...
It's easy to point at Exxon and their huge carbon footprint, but people need to realize that it's us who are using that oil, not Exxon. Everywhere we go, every movie we watch on youtube, every piece of food we eat, everywhere where we're not freezing or overheating, everything we ALL do consumes oil.
The harsh reality is that we simply do not have a viable alternative energy source. If you turn off the oil, everyone dies. It's really that simple. I've yet to hear a sensible plan from anyone who thinks otherwise.
