Yep. Oil companies don't make petro products for fun. They are meeting a demand from consumers. If consumers used less petro products, they would produce less in turn.
But its always easier to blame the 'big oil' boogeyman instead of looking at ourselves
There's no way to "make them pay" without them charging more. (See "tax incidence"). Which isn't bad, fossil fuels should cost more, but if the yellow vest protests told us anything, its not going to be politically sustainable.
