Yet at every level. Things have gotten worse. We had solar in the 80s. Less efficient but only about 15% rather then the 20% we see now. But tax payer money in all western democracy. Was still funding oil research not batts wind or solar.

Cars became bigger and less efficient as we watched. GM was known to have destroyed its own ev production pack in the 90s.

Nothing at all was invested in building inferstructure to support other fuel types. Again dispite huge public investment in oil.

And at every 0ossible point. What little that was done was aimed at indeviduals who have the least control. While corperations were allowed to keep expanding there use. Without facing any of the costs for replacement.

Its a bump. But a 40plus year bump built intentionally to slow and limit changes in the way wealth is made.

With so much false science and outright lies from corperations its insane.

Exxon the plastics industry and many other. Behaived much worse the the cigarette industry did before them. And have not had to pay anything for there intentional and informed damage to billions of lives. Where as at least in nations with real health care options. Tobbaco companies have lost lawsuits and paid a fortune since discovery.
