    Thats a weird way to frame it.

    The rise of vaccines puts viruses at risk.

      As soon as I read the title I thought “did fossil fuel barons write the title because who would phrase it that way?”

        The article is by Rocky Mountain Institute, which is a think tank focused on clean energy transitions. And the rest of the language in the article is much more positive - batteries will enable a shift away from fossil fuels.

        So yes, very odd word choice in the title given that the rest of the article generally views fossil fuel displacement to be a good thing.
