Sure. I buy that. But:

Which Oil company? All of them? The 'Big Oil' Cabal?

What Government? Which Country? Which politicians? In what parties? In exchange for what?

Seems like it would require an enormous effort and outlay.

Just as there are people with a vested interest in retaining oil use at its current levels there equally are people with a vested interest in diversifying our energy supply.
