They lobby for everything they can get to benefit their business, and often get it.
A lot of citizens want a better alternative but can’t get it because Oil industry has corrupted our officials.
They lie about the dangers of climate change.
This and their lobbying makes it so that many citizens didn’t (and still don’t) know what kind of problem they are part of.
