Money mostly. It generates a lot of profit and it costs money to switch. In many of countries oil, gas, etc. are like a huge portion of their GDP. It’s like trying to get people to eat less meat. It would be better and more environmentally friendly, but everyone is too dependent on meat.

This dependence on meat is mostly imaginary.

Yeah, I remember. But how important is that?

not saying it’s important, but if you tell a meat-lover to give up meat they will say no. Maybe it wasn’t the best analogy…
