Fossil fuels are shredding our democracy | Their goal is to stop us from switching to clean energy

However, instead of the market naturally transitioning to these cheaper and cleaner energy sources, fossil fuel companies are leveraging their enormous political influence to hinder this shift. They employ tactics such as lobbying, spreading disinformation, and funding politicians who support fossil fuels, all in an effort to maintain their dominance and profits in the energy market.

Which lets you know we don't live in a democracy. This is the definition of an oligarchy.
