The United States and other supposedly advanced and intelligent countries are working as fast as they can to destroy companies that produce oil, coal, natural gas and all the products derived from them. They are doing it because of the predictions that these products cause temperatures to rise and massive climate damage.
What the media and other pushers of radical green energy policies never show is scientific data that show a direct link between our consumption of these products and warming temperatures. Because there is none.
The U.S and other countries are trying to stop allowing us to buy reasonably priced, efficient, and reliable cars and trucks and force us to buy inefficient, expensive, and impractical vehicles powered by the highly flammable pollutant Lithium.
In 1850, there were no vehicles powered by gas combustion engines and today there are around 1.5 billion of them.
If you want to know how many cars are there on Earth here you go: There are about 1.446 billion vehicles on Earth in 2022. About 19% of those vehicles are in the United States. (source)
In 1850, countries used almost zero crude oil and today World consumption is around 100 billion barrels per year.
