I agree, it takes a lot of copium to believe that all of this "phasing out by 2050" shit itsnt straight pandering. Its like a smoker with lung cancer saying they'll quit in a few years. We are hopelessly addicted to our lifestyles that depend on fossil fuels. The only one thats ultimately going to shift our society is mother nature when she eradicates us through famine, extreme weather and chaos
