Customers will only stop buying their product after focus fusion attains wide usage. I’m not going to underestimate the oil companies’ abilities to (1) propagandize the public about scary nuclear technology, no matter how benign it actually is, and (2) get oppressive regulations enacted.
Aside from that, as I just posted in another thread, I think keeping hydrocarbons is the easiest solution, and a good one as long as we’re getting them from CO2. Why swap out an entire infrastructure and vehicle fleet if we don’t have to?
