Oil companies and electric cars

Where are we truly going as a species?
Why are we in fact still using old fashioned fuels in our vehicles when more advanced technology is already here?
If the economic excuse is that if oil companies go under, the world cannot sustain it´s global economy. Then perhaps economy or our lack of understanding of it needs to be analyzed. Millions have been poured into the sort of technology it takes to extract oil. And certainly there will be mega losses for petrol conglomerates if oil becomes redundant as a fuel. And this certainly will have an impact on the world economy, if the oil companies direction for investment is not toward electric and sustainable tech.
Or must the world and human kind suffer so that an outdated fuel source can be continued because the companies have invested so many billions into drilling and refining?
Human kind must advance, we cannot be driving vehicles that can potentially explode in an accident! We must give ourselves the best technology and base a new improved economic strategy on promoting this new technology. Otherwise we are not being fair to predecessors who worked so hard and evolved our technology so much to bring us to where we are. Otherwise we will do further damage to our environment so that the world economy isn't affected.
But the world economy has been affected. In fact the risks taken in all sorts of ventures commendable and otherwise by large corporations. If it is the oil companies boycotting and putting embargoes on new technology so the flow of oil can be guaranteed they are not going to do more damage to the world economy than the bankers and wall street tweekers already have.
 Electric cars and all forms of electric transport must become our norm. There is no room whatsoever for the outdated petrol fume transport.
If oil is indeed a finite then we better leave it alone for now as it could prove even more valuable in the future as our civilization becomes more curious, ambitious and dynamic.
If oil companies are allowed to continue the same way they have for the last decade I would say that our strength and intelligence as a species will be compromised.
It is self destructive and suicidal for us to use up such a valuable resource as a fuel that can now be replaced by electricity.
it is counterproductive and is preventing us all as a species from moving forward to greater things.
We need to ban the use of this old technology.
Oil companies must rethink their approach and start giving back to the world by investing what they have in alternative energy creators. They have such power, if they only had the vision.
I fear their business world is much like politics old minds old ideas and an extremely adamant conservative approach to alternative energy.
Problem is time is ticking, are they being held accountable for the indirect damage that their dinosaur attitude is having on the quality of big city air? Or for car accidents that end in explosions.
All this without even touching on the subject of the middle east.
The world must change, we cannot live in fear that each time there is a new innovation we may not employ it because it will compromise our old traditional companies that promote outdated and harmful fuels! Are we that weak, afraid and feeble that we cannot move on?
Lp's, cassettes, videos and Dvd's slowly these things have become redundant!
We moved on, yet oil companies hold the world to ransom still!
But look at who we are, we are passed all that! We have dozens of other sources of energy many need to be developed further. If we have cunning and ruthless old companies stalling and buying new technology to hide it or to own it with out actually employing it, what are we to do?
For now we can only let them win, let them pollute and sell us the fossil fuel, because they have made other technology seem left wing or less masculine for men. Molding the masses with quite a bit of dexterity. Just spend the money on new technology, Homo sapiens need to expand and innovate, we cannot sabotage this technological revolution right now! It's for our own good that we advance and if you knowingly hold the world back, well that in itself is the worst punishment I can think of. Being responsible for holding mankind back from greatness!!!
There is no worse shame!
There is nothing as horrid or more repugnant!
 It's time to put the horses back into the stables, it's time to let go of old ways of thinking. it's time to innovate. Finally move forward.
