Big Fossil Fuel: "No, I still need to thrive! I still have decades to squeeze every fucking dime out of customers forced to buy our stuff to live! Besides, remember? The sun sets and batteries aren't a thing!"

Oil is expected to enter terminal decline towards the end of this decade which makes me think they're just stalling for time.

Will be interesting to see how the environmentalist movement develops as the oil lobby just straight up slowly dies.

Okay, but how will we generate ROIs and revenue for shareholders if we use cheap, efficient, and decentralized renewable energy?

Sure we also can use nuclear power alongside it, the point is that there are alternatives to the fossil fuels instead of needing to be so depended on them all the time πŸ™„

"Um but Uruguay is a small country, this could never work for a big country" OK but a big country's power grid isn't a single big blob, it's a bunch of smaller blobs linked together, maybe make the transition to renewables one blob at a time or something, the point is that it's possible.

Even just converting the grids of California, Texas or New York would make such a huge difference
