Bankrupt
The fossil fuel sector is morally bankrupt; will financial bankruptcy follow? The movement against Big Oil reminds me of the 40-year battle for a post-apartheid, democratic South Africa. Superficial overtures and concessions by the oil and gas companies echo attempts by the white, racist government to cling to power. If Mandela or the ANC had capitulated, apartheid would have persisted for decades, ending in a bloody revolution. But the system was morally bankrupt; its demise non-negotiable. Today, as we witness Big Oil’s willing and ongoing complicity in our climate change emergency, has ending their reign become a moral imperative?
