I refuse to accept this simple universality as an answer. Yes, there are people who highly benefit from having humanity centered around gasoline, plastics, what have you. But here's where you are wrong: vampire is defeated when he's simply killed, oil companies or rather people behind them will continue to exist no matter what green initiative you provide. They don't need oil as the vampire desires blood, it is just incredibly easier to exist off blood.

Any serious short-mid term green initiative should focus on making the choice of oil and gas harder than switching to alternatives

But I will add that they spill a ton of blood to acquire it.

Where does all that blood go? Go ahead. Walk into that question, fella.
