I think governments should seize fossil fuel assets at this point. It may sound radical but there has never been another point in history when human actions were on the verge of destroying the habitability of our planet. It would allow for equitable emergency control of supply.
So long as fossil fuel barons and investors are allowed to maintain enclosure, there is no way to ramp down on a schedule while controlling price and allowing equitable access for all. Despite causing this planetary crisis they'd profit grotesquely while most others were cut off
They lied routinely for decades, thus ensuring this unbelievably horrific crisis for all life on Earth for their own petty, selfish, gain. They deserve prison, not obscene profits.
*priced out
To answer some comments: the goal of such a nationalization would be to divert fossil fuels to highest priority needs and ramp down production on a set schedule. It would require an international ff treaty. Yes would only be possible when public gets we're in an emergency
(Which incidentally is why I am against the defending of frequent flying privilege. We need to attack fossil fuel in all its forms to revoke its social license and shift public opinion toward emergency-mode solutions that seem impossible today)
