I don’t think big oil feels particularly threatened by renewables. They are definitely scared of nuclear and car batteries.

In my opinion, all energy industries should and probably do feel threatened by solar. Since 2022 or so, all metrics I have seen put its cost per kwh ahead of natural gas, and thus, significantly ahead of every other energy source. It's also incredibly decentralized and flexible, I don't see a way that it doesn't become dominant in the next decade.

It's performance is actually a huge risk point as well, since it's so periodic.
