Bullshit. It was big oil that lobbied against electric vehicles for years and even pressured dealerships not to sell those cars but to only lease them instead. That was the GM EV1 line of electric cars. They even went so far as to buy the remaining stock and took them out in the desert and buried them. Big oil has been battling green energy since the turn of the 20th century. Funded ad campaigns to convince people that the idea of electric vehicles was not a viable option. Cadillac developed an electric car in 1912 that had a cruising range of 85 miles. They were widely used as in- city vehicles. So all the years of lying to the public was just so much protectionist bullshit. And now the oil companies are pushing back against all of the possible upstart companies trying to get a foothold in alternative energies of all kinds. The GOP are in the pockets of big oil and killed the green new deal. Will oil companies get into some of those new alt energies? Probably, but they will do so kicking and screaming all the way. They like fossil fuels just fine and they consider any new ideas as a threat. You know that and I know that you know that. That's how I know you are a shill.You been changing the subject since you began your attack.
And again, Oil companies profit from green clean energy. It is a new market for thier products.
Oil companies do not lobby against wind turbines or solar panels. You incorrectly think they do.
