    Oil isn’t used to generate electricity except in very rare circumstances, so I don’t see why they would care that much.

    Definitely a silly thing to say.

      Perhaps not petroleum, but natural gas definitely is.

      But solar power is increasingly being used to charge the batteries of alternatives to fossil fueled machines.

      Either way, OP probably meant fossil fuel interests in general rather than just oil companies, given the context.
