Fossil Fuels. Like the royal forests and parks of old, fossil fuels are the property of 80 to 100 of the world’s richest people, whose global impact is felt throughout the planet. Over the last 163 years fossil fuels, not gold, have been the greatest source of wealth and power. Fossil fuels proven reserves’ approximate world value, today, are $1.59 quadrillion dollars. The people who control the fossil fuels do not want that coordinated action, because it undercuts their wealth and power.
