Its about wringing every last cent out of those stranded assets. They could take a loss and shift their imoney elsewhere but it would be brutal if potential buyers look at the regulatory environment and go nope. They know they are going to lose it all eventually but it's about the next quarters results and the quarter after.

So this is what they have to do. Cost of business. Subvert democracy. Get people to vote for fascists, pedos, crazies, crooks. Anyone who wouldn't have a chance in a sensible world if it wasn't for the fossil fuel money beaming crazy bullshit into people's heads 24x7. Crooked politicians, influencers and media are all lined up for their payout.
