...the fossil fuel industry is buying up the alternative energy start ups to slow them down so they can sell more oil for as long as possible (or until the oil runs out in 50 years), then the same people will be the major owners of the new energy industry.

The problem is they're only thinking of satisfying their own greed and not thinking of the devastating damage that greed is doing to all life on earth (including their own) during the time they're continuing to sell their oil.

They should just make a deal with the world that they will actually reduce their oil sales while building up their alternative sales as quickly as possible and stop being such little sh!ts about everything.
