It also means not trading one extractive frontier for another, such as deep-sea drilling for deep-sea mining for transition minerals.

They argue that public ownership is necessary but not sufficient, and managed decline has to be an explicit goal that guides decision making.

Why Public Control of Fossil Fuel Resources is Necessary for a Managed Decline of Fossil Fuel Use

Public ownership of fossil fuel assets enables managed decline and could save public money.

New on the SUS-POL blog 💡 You might expect supply-side climate policies that favour some fossil fuel producers over others to split the industry. But research by Nikolai Drahos on US methane regulation finds firms often stick together. Why? 🧵

The lesson for fossil fuel phase-outs is that uneven costs don't automatically divide industry. Firms also weigh peer relationships, external pressure and the risk that supporting regulation today invites more tomorrow.
