Great.

Dissolve Exxon..

What about the state oil companies of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Russia, and others that produce the other 95% of the oil?

Climate Change is not a problem that can be unilaterally solved by the West. Saudi Arabia isnt going to agree to be a poor desert backwater again to protect beachfront property in Malibu.

Climate Change is a massively intractable problem. The fact that the West's favored solutions are Hail Mary bets on radically increased performance of batteries and renewable energy sources that are unlikely to be achieved at best, is highly disconcerting.

We've had a good 25 years to ramp up next gen nuclear, which can work at volume and much more safely, but it's been frittered away on the hope that renewables can function as baseload.
