The largest bank in the Eurozone (8th largest in the world) has damning news for oil sector: "Oil is finished; EVs+renewables are 6x more cost-effective" Again, this is a *banking giant* talking.

If I was an oil exec, I'd either be terrified OR continue proclaiming, "everything is fine!" to the great peril of shareholders and the world economy.
