It would be virtually impossible to get away from burning fossil fuels anytime in the near future as there’s no viable alternative.

Unfortunately, they will not FULLY go against their best interests, unless it can be shown that the opposite of what they're doing is in their best profit interest. They might offer some PR stunts to keep the masses at bay, but people are asking corporations to go against their bottom line. It's not going to happen, but it's ironically as destructive as the alternative it seems. It might take way too long for the transition too.

No surprise that they're all oil, coal, and natural gas companies.

Natural gas is one of the cleanest fossil fuels available. It’s by far the best alternative to back up wind and Solar when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing.
