Not the oil companies, the politicians that are funded by their money, and the millions of people who's retirement funds are roped into oil companies in some way or another.

The oil companies don't care. They're in the process of trying to convert themselves to "energy" companies. But none of it matters until some cheaper way to generate power is found.

"cost effective" alternatives.
you make things so uselessly simply.
they already have the alternative to walk.

Top of the EU's list to cut climate change emissions is a target of "zero" for the number of petrol and diesel-driven cars and lorries in the EU's future cities.

Absolutely not. That's ridiculous to think there could be collusion on that grand of a scale. The federal government cant keep State Department docs and illegal wiretaps secret and you really think a public company could hide such a thing? That's silly and counterproductive to them as a publicly traded company.

I only want alternatives if they are cheaper. And more importantly, so do businesses. And consumers. There is no million man petroleum march. No one cares. Yet.
They'd probably be much better off just using the money required to pass and enforce that crap on investing in alternate fuel technologies. Besides, nothing will come of any of this until the US invents it anyway...
they want it but want others to pay for it. does most of europe even drive? it really effect most of them directly?
i'd appreciate a steady rate for an energy source for once though.
the people who really want it, are the people who are not financially responsible for it.
ever talk to a douche bag that rides his bike to work everyday simply because he's a broke fuck that can't afford a car, so he spends his entire time talking about people cruising around in their 'cages' ruining the environment? maybe its just me, being a mountain biker i get to deal with these types every now and then who think we have a common bond just because they see me out on a bike...
...its also an unenforceable resolution. what happens in 2050 if no decent alternative is around? they start fining everyone? throwing on extremely high taxes on fossil fuels? shuts the economy down and public gets pissed cause they can no longer afford to live and vote it down in 40 years?
