Exactly. One of the big mistakes the average person makes is assuming aligned interest. When they make a move that we consider “insane” it’s because we’re focused on different outcomes.

Why are you doubling down on an energy sector that is more expensive, in decline, and causes pollution? You’d be insane not to pivot to renewables!

But… oil is subsidised, and they don’t care about pollution or oil decline because those are too far out. They can make money right now, more of it than they will ever need. So they do.
