Cult.

You treat some scientific consensus like it was a religious certainty and all you will do is provoke significant blowback.  Thus slowing the transition even more.

No_end_to self-serving BS,

Yes, as an investor I do specialize in investing in overseas oil & gas exploration and production companies.  For a number of reasons. The US federal excise taxes on gasoline and diesel have not budged since the 1990s which means in real terms the excise taxes on gasoline and diesel have constantly declined over the past 3 decades.

The cheap energy entitlement continues to prevail particularly in the USA.  That bet is reinforced every time the Biden regime acts like cheap fuel at the pump is his biggest political priority.  Americans are willing to kill for this cheap energy entitlement.   

Another reason includes your anti-data, anti-science, anti-expertise attitude that is remains widely shared in the USA and other rich democracies.   

We both know that you are not an economist but clearly you behave as if you are smarter than all the economists.  Are you familiar with the concept of net tax?  Not surprising, seeing how you apparently know more than all kinds of experts in the fields of electrical generation, storage and distribution as well as mining.  The current limitations of solar and wind are staring you in the face yet you refuse to see them.

Another reason is that poor developing countries who avoid the pitfalls of the Resource Curse can use the rich rents from oil and gas activities to 1) accelerate socio-economic development through better financed education, health, public infrastructure and 2) promote health through cleaner air by advancing natural gas as an energy source both industrial and domestic.   Colombia, for example, has done relatively well (though it has stumbled as of late).  Guyanese management of its offshore oil & gas boom has been stellar.

You may not care about pulling large numbers of people out of poverty No_end_to...  but many people do.

If you are looking for a quick and lazy way of effecting a quick transition to a lower carbon-emitting world, limited, regional nuclear war is your only option.   Your choice to support Israel's nuclear weapons arsenal and great US efforts to maintain Israel's regional nuclear weapons monopoly will certainly help with this option.    More nuclear weapons proliferation is almost guaranteed.  

In passing, congratulations for helping Germany to put all those coal-fired electrical generation plants back into use.  Well played.  Many believe that nuclear energy is key to effecting any kind of effective transition going forward.
