Currently the world is buying ~100 million barrels of oil per day. So people are definitely still buying oil and will be for the foreseeable future.

I know but the trend is slowly going towards renewables on the developed world at least. So to only focus on oil would be a short term goal which is not what investors would want

Even the optimistic forecasts of BEV adoption only show 10-15% of vehicles on the road being BEV by 2035.

The trouble is that oil companies don't seem to think of anything but short term.

Yep. I spent far too much time laughing about that. It's beautifully karmic.

The majority of their investors are not suing them.
