We have no realistic short-term plan to switch away from oil. Everyone can't just switch to EVs. Most products have plastics or oil derivatives in them.
It will take a long time.
We use oil because it's cheap and versatile, not because evil oil companies are forcing us.
There's no replacement for oil at the moment. Sure, you can manufacture some plastics of CO2, but they are so expensive, even you don't use them.
Vraiment, pas de substitut?
thats exactly what the lawsuit is about
Quite literally oil companies do. They have a habbit of constantly trying to undercut anything that might affect their sales.
