You're point about "some corporations pushing against" is true. But those corporations/people are extremely influential in policy that affects everyone. It's not some insignificant side note.
And in the end those corporations serve the desire of consumers. They're not forcing oil down people's throats while people desperately fight to not use it. We use it. 95 million barrels a day of it.

The demand for different products needs to change and corporations will gladly find a way to make money off that. Just like they always have.
