Forgive me for not completely thinking out my response

You can compare based on caped investments. Actually renewables are getting really competitive in that metric but even then, energy intensity of fossil fuel sources is really high.

1 windmill or solar panel has infinitesimal (very small fraction) total energy compared to an oil well. The logistics/ supply chain has already been built up and developed. There’s a really strong economic incentive for oil and gas incumbents to want to preserve the status quo, even if it could be detrimental to humanity as a whole
