Precisely the point made in an essay over a decade ago.
Market cap of the fossil industry is in the dozens of trillions.
Moving that is by far the more difficult problem.
The engineering is trivial, by comparison.
Not because we can not - because we won't.

Abandoned wells that often would be viable geo-thermal when converted, using next-gen geo-thermal techniques.
Ironically, based on the same technology fracking for petroleum uses...
Like Fervo, for example.

Which is just another way of saying the _true cost of extraction_ is not actually reflected at consumption.
If damages to the planet _were included_ at the pump, there would, in fact, exist overwhelming market forces looking for zero-carbon alternatives - like solar, wind, geothermal, et cetera.
