Individual actions to buy less of their products are great, but these companies have huge lobbying operations to make such decisions as painful as possible (pro–highway funding, subsidies, anti–transit funding), and massive marketing budgets to sway others away from climate-conscious buying.
At the end of the day, if we let them pull the oil out of the ground, they'll do everything they can to sell it.
