  Considering that theyre doing this to prop up oil and coal, they might. I mean, we all might too.

  I mean, there are a bunch of people who are involved in the oil and gas (and coal, but those guys are are a corpse) industry who are terrified of things going away. If coal goes, so does, say, Gillette, Wyoming. That’s part of where Trump got support from.

  But it’s not gonna change the general trajectory much on carbon. They might kick the can down the road a little more, but it’s gonna die sooner or later.
