I don't think it's quite that simple. We would likely be in a much better position, up to potentially having a plan, if oil companies hadn't covered things up for so long and lobbied against regulations.
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.
