If people want to divest from fossil fuels by selling stock, but no one wants to buy them (because it’s…bad), what happens?

Can the fund/person/company demand that the fossil fuel company gives them their money back? Basically, how can divestment ultimately work if we’re trying to get *everyone* to divest…?

short answer? the stock price drops until SOMEONE buys it….or the company goes bust and the stock is worthless….sometimes both.

you cant *force* the company to buy your stock back off you, no. You bought into the company and its future, you ride the highs AND the lows.

If the company goes bust, your suppose to receive a cut of whats left after liquidation, equal to your share of the company, but whatever that is will be much less than what you paid for it..
