The fossil fuel industry has faced serious headwinds for several years, but the rise of renewables combined with the fall in consumption as a consequence of the global corona crisis is pushing it over the edge and into “terminal decline”. The fossil fuel industry has faced an oversupply problem, as well as a public relations problem.
