I don't care if they lose their money either. It couldn't happen to nicer people. But I am still allowed to express the opinion that they are being idiots falling for one of the most dangerous fallacies in economics and that this will come to bite them in the ass. In this regard I highly advise everybody to NOT invest in fossil fuel shares - it's a great way to lose your life savings very soon.

Now here's the clencher - if we actually wanted to - we could have 100% clean energy supply around the world in mmm, 5 years, it's a far smaller project than going to the moon in 10 and we pulled THAT off. It will cost a fraction of that - and this one is guaranteed to be a profitable excercise so in the end the actual cost is negative. 

And how convenient is it that, when we do that, the oil in existing locations will be able to supply our remaining needs for centuries to come - so no need to go ruin the arctic any further. By the time we run out, we won't be using it anymore.
