      Rather that they have all the money they could ever need already, so now they work towards power and control. Same as with most mega corporations, they’ve gotten so big that the rules of the market are different for them. It’s like with Alphabet pumping absurd amounts of money into YouTube, it’s not about making their money back, it’s about gaining the monopoly on video content and exercising control over you. These energy companies don’t have such an easy way to start influencing people as tech companies though, who can just start censoring and promoting whatever they will.
