Comment on why is fossil fuel still used?
Cevilia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 days agoCompletely wrong? Let me test my understanding. You’re claiming that fossil fuel companies are not breathtakingly rich and willing to share that wealth with politicians in return for policy decisions that favour fossil fuel companies?

That almost seems like a wilful misinterpretation of what I wrote, since I never claimed anything of the sort.
What makes you completely wrong is that you’re using the fact that petroleum companies are filthy rich and bribe politicians to hell and back as an explanation for why we’re still reliant of fossil fuels. The basic answer to why is that “fossil fuels and combustion engines are pretty damn hard to beat” to the point where we still haven’t found a viable alternative for some applications.

I stated that the fossil fuel companies are breathtakingly rich and willing to share that wealth with politicians in return for policy decisions that favour fossil fuel companies.
You stated that I was completely wrong.
You now appear to be shifting the goalposts as if you claimed I am merely missing the point as opposed to being completely wrong, so I’m done here. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. :)
