It makes no sense to continue investing in oil, gas, and coal which keep getting more expensive, when clean energy is *cheaper* because the wind and sun are *unlimited* and *free.*
Fossil fuels are only still around because of the lies and corruption of the fossil fuel industry.

We have made progress in the sense that we have since 1965 fully developed the technologies necessary to "cost effectively" stop this pollution. Yet we have not at all stopped the pollution itself, which is the thing that is killing us.

"The annual cost rises to $10B when researchers account for harm to the economy and human well-being caused by adding this amount of heat-trapping methane to Earth’s atmosphere. The new emission and cost estimates are roughly three times the level predicted by the U.S. government." #dickcheney
Methane emissions from major U.S. oil and gas operations higher than government predictions
Stanford-led research shows methane emissions from a large share of U.S. oil and gas facilities are three times higher on average than the level predicted by official government estimates.
