Abandon them and leave them to it as a lost cause (a problem that has no solution) is my advice, they have evolved into a mindset that will never change, and they are not willing to change ever.

Our dependence on hydrocarbon fueled industry and transportation will cease to be the weakness it has been over the past century and geopolitical balances will change as a result.
