What I'd like to know is just WHAT "they" plan to do with $100 trillion? Sell more EVs to those that think electricity just appears out of the ether? But you don't need money to sell something. Build more nuclear power plants??? Seems contrary to "their" agenda. Send a planetary distress signal to the starship Enterprise so we can borrow some matter-antimatter reactors???? Or better yet, just like the remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still", abandon all technology and live like cavemen. But wait, we've been experiencing global warming for 20,000 years during which time we WERE cavemen.
Bottom line, there is no current solution, just a scam to put mega dollars into the hands of the few.

Apples and oranges. The profit the oil companies are making is just a small fraction of the over all cost of fossil fuel. Also, I do not know where you're getting $100 trillion figure from. Even if it were correct (its "proposed" so even you don't know), the only thing that shows is that it cost a lot more to clean up the mess than it does to create it.
