They won’t. Then what’s your plan?

INB4 "I'll just switch my appliances to electric and go off-grid solar."

Good for you, hypothetical yet inevitable replier, you should absolutely do that. But that doesn't solve the collective, societal problem. The real issue here is not whether it's possible for individuals to resist or implement a workaround, but that it is fundamentally wrong for corporations to have that much or that kind of power in the first place!

The only actual solutions to the systemic issue must be legislative -- this kind of abusive corporate power-grabbing has to be outlawed!
