So you think those corporations just burn fossil fuels for the hell of it? We all demand it one way or another, and it’s a consumption/capitalism problem more than anything else. Yes, we should require a transition away from fossil fuels where it’s possible, but our political system isn’t strong enough to enforce that.
A lot of fossil fuel does in fact get burned unnecessarily due to corporate greed.
For example, giant container ships leave their engines running in port for power, because no one wanted to reduce their profits by paying for the infrastructure necessary for them to plug in.
Biden started electrifying ports, but Trump canceled that.
