The solution isn't bankrupting fossil fuel companies.
The solution is finding viable replacements for these companies, whether it's solar, wind, nuclear, or something else, and then scaling them so they can serve everyone.
Finding viable replacements that people _want_ to use, along with carbon taxes, subsidies, etc should be sufficient to force some oil and gas companies to pivot to clean energy and make the rest die out or become substantially smaller.
And, this way, we would avoid a massive decrease in our quality of life, it would actually be practical, and consumers would benefit.
