Now feels like a good time to remember that Big Oil is the reason why we're still hooked on dirty, dangerous fossil fuels. The industry's lies have essentially stolen a generation’s worth of time that we could have used to transition to cleaner, safer energy sources. It’s time for accountability.

Big Oil has a firm grip on Trump’s micro dick. He does EXACTLY what he’s told. Cancel everything that enhances other forms of energy. Even though it is a shrinking resource. And the center of most of what’s killing our planet.

Don't forget their political mouthpieces and obstructers. Frankly oil companies are doing what companies driven to maximize profits. The politicians take the graft and allow the destruction of environment.

They have known what they're doing since the 30s or 40s but since this country works for corporations and billionaires they let them hide the information. Just like tobacco. And we have to give these oil and gas losers subsidies while they make billions in profit

*Personal* accountability, by the executives who made the decisions, by the politicians who took the bribes and run their dishonest campaigns, and the media owners and fake journalists who played along. They need to all be held criminally accountable.

It’s time to stop the tax incentives for big oil and push for renewable energy sources Dependency on big oil is ruining our country, our environment, and our lives… Invest in renewable energy instead

China, Asia and parts of Europe are fast developing green economies The US is reverting even further back to fossil fuels dependency Will the US ever recover from Trump?? With $trillions in debt and no forward thinking, you have to question it US as a world power might soon be over

Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the roof of the White House. Ronald Reagan had them stripped off. Republicans set the agenda until Obama. And look what we’ve had six of ten years since! It’s been more than one generation lost.

Accounting misses some things, about money creation. Part of the fees collected as interest on money creation loans is our option fees for accepting the money in exchange for our stuff. We don’t get paid. Our stolen option fees finances Wealth, Empire, & Supremacy

Fossil fuel supplies will become more difficult to obtain as the sources are consumed faster than they are replenished. It is completely reasonable and prudent for us to explore and move towards their replacement. I don't run my car out of gas before considering how I'm going to refuel.

For decades, promising alternative fuel technologies have been purchased by the big energy companies. That way they could determine when the most profitable time to pull them off the shelves would be.

That is mostly in the USA. The rest of the world is steadily transitioning to cheaper renewable energy. The middle east conflict will serve to accelerate the investment in renewables as fuel gets scarce and more expensive.

Exxon is relocating to tx because it is friendlier to big oil than NJ that state police will actually come in to break up protests and arrest as many as they can grab

"We mustn't rock the boat by criticising the US, we might antagonise them and endanger our economy!" US proceeds to kick a hole in the global economy.. It's like an abusive relationship.

The big oil companies have flexed oil prices since the 1970s always just enough to keep alternatives off the market. But if the US had a strategy of not being reliant on oil and foreign oil sources, a lot would be different now. But their bribes prevented that. So here we are.

I know China is not exactly the most popular narrative. But filter all the propaganda, they’re doing it now pushing forward with a greener economy. I’ve seen Beijing smogged up. And now? Blue skies! Crazyyyy!!!

And as they increase domestic production to take advantage of the higher prices Trump has given them our remaining reserves deplete faster with no planning or preparation for what comes next. Short term profits and longer term disaster.

A generation? Are you kidding me. They started their BS back in the 60s, bro. More like 506 generations, not to mention the cancer and other sicknesses we have suffered from their pollution, the loss of wildlife, the destruction of oceans and wild spaces, all that started LONG before.

Aren’t inventors killed for suggesting solutions that would eliminate the need for oil? Maybe if you looked at their corruption and what those inventors achieved again we may be able to eliminate them!!

We’ve known for 120 years, that burning fossil fuels heats the atmosphere (physics). In those 120 years, some people and countries became very rich. They created endless wars, and held the world to ransom. It would be a better world if those people didn’t have that power anymore.

We've had the technological ability for 100 years. The oil industry and the politicians they've bought have held back mankind's technological development and advancement for a century. Still a bunch of dumb Denisovans stumbling around. I wouldn't say Neanderthal because they had a bigger brain.

It’s far past time for accountability. We have passed the point of no return and the administration is doing all in his power to keep the oil companies happy. The worst thing that ever happened to our country for so many different reasons was allowing Citizens United!

There are alternatives to Fossil Fuels. For instance Sustainable Fuels. Equal to $65 barrel of Cruid. Currently a barrel of crude goes for over $100 a barrel. bsky.app/profile/stop...

We are past the tipping point and Oligarchs are choosing to burn down this planet faster instead of ensuring there are people tomorrow. If humanity dies it is at the hands of the greedy and corrupt. If humanity can not stop them of their power and do what is correct humanity dies at their hands.

It's long past the time for accountability! Testifying to Congress, Carl Sagan warned of the consequences of fossil fuels in 1985. He warned that burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) was creating a "greenhouse effect" that threatened to dangerously raise global temperatures and melt glaciers.

It's going to be 80 today in Western NC. Then tomorrow it's going down into the 20s. This is weather, but it's also illustrative of why we call it climate change. The upset of normal is hazardous for native plants and animals. Fossil fuels are driving us toward extinction.

And they are egging on this war with Iran which is simultaneously putting money into trumPutin's pocket, helping him continue his war with Ukraine

Oh, you mean that the brainwashing propagandists, Fox, et al., who've convinced half the country that renewables are a laughable hoax will finally be shamed, debunked, and their business hurt? Nah, of course not. Would violate holy free speech.

If the trillions of dollars spent on U.S. wars in the Middle East since 2001 had been invested in renewable energy, the US could have accelerated its green transition, generating 50% to 70% of its electricity from renewable sources by the early 2010s. What a fucking waste. #FuckTheGOP#FuckBigOil

Here in the UK, 50% of energy is now dervived form renewables. And that is still rising. It is easy to do. But the US is unfortunately ruled by the unelected, entrenched, shadow government of petrochemcial industry CEO's. In synchronicity with Saudi's, they're holding world energy markets to ransom

That No. screams business opportunity. The economic boost gained by engineering/restructuring the electrical grid, solar panel and wind farm construction and maintenance would be massive. And there would be many more permanent jobs created in renewables than in the fossil fuel sector.

We really need to restart the Green New Deal to expand the EV infrastructure i.e. charging stations so that even in the smallest towns people can charge. It took decades to put in gas stations so we could drive cross country. We need to start yesterday.

So lithium is cleaner is it and cobalt isn't mined by kids in the Congo, get a grip man nothing in this world is green, I mean look at us all we do is consume and make a mess. The American military generates massive amounts of CO2, so where's the electric tanks, fighter jets, missiles then ?

Now is as good as time as any time make the fuckin switch. Take the wind out of their sails and make oil a d petroleum a thing of the past.

Thought I saw on this platform that the Danes had transitioned from 90% dependent on fossil fuels twenty years ago vs. 10% now, . . . Imagine how much better off we'd be if we weren't so reliant, never mind the ensuing chaos happening now in the Middle East (to say nothing of the impact on climate)?

Longer than that: in the later 1800s through about 1930 electric vehicles (including trolleys) gained popularity. But nascent Big Oil found ways large and small to push/lure consumers to internal combustion engines, and Big Oil’s stinky climate-killing products. ⛽️

-- biomass-en.alle.bg - millions of tons per day of zero-cost clean biofuels, foods, materials, made out of superfast-growing (in a few hours), Engineered Biomass. -- hydrogen-gravity.alle.bg - gigawatts of green power, made out of Hydrogen's Lift Power, combined with the Earth's Gravity.

Rofl Big Energy owns both the Big Oil and Big Solar companies they are two sides of the same fucking coin and both are extremely damaging to the planet solar just puts the damage on the far from and far back ends so the idiots buying them don't realize they are supporting slavery and strip mining.

They are accountable. To their shareholders. If we want government in the interest of the people we need to prevent corruption. Lobbying is corruption. Foreign financing is corruption.

Also the reason we're in another war. (As many have already pointed out) Burning cities full of people so we can burn the planet with more emissions. It doesn't make any sense except to a billionaire with a bunker somewhere. And, even then!

The concept of not maximizing their own benefits at the expense of selling others, including their own kids and grandkids down the river is alien to these people. They are incapable of sustainability for it's own sake. www.henley.ac.uk/news/2022/ar...

henley.ac.ukAre psychopath leaders stifling sustainability and business…Amid the growing need for businesses to focus on the ‘drive for success’, individuals with a willingness to employ high-risk strategies and fast-paced…

Letting these people dictate sustainability policy, is like hiring John Wayne Gacy to babysit. They're incapable of caring about a consequence that only becomes a problem after they themselves are dead. Without putting their skin in the game via some punishments for this, they can't care.

With only 45 years of oil in the ground we’ll have to face it sooner or later,I was hoping we wouldn’t wait until the last minute because we need time to get the electrification of our infrastructure correct. Moving from an oil economy to an electric economy won’t be without its challenges!

Oh, and much beyond that as they’ve cynically used every strident issue they could to twist this country socially and especially worked to corrupt every branch of government (quite successfully) in order to keep the money fountain gushing

The climate crisis is just one of the interconnected poly-fucks of the planet and its people by the wealthy and the politicians they own. They do nothing to benefit everyone, everything is to benefit themselves.

Which is a mirror image reflection of what Big Pharma has done/continues attempting with cannabis… Big Erl’s assuredly 💀 more, however. Big 💊 has, FOR DECADES, knowingly inflicted harm, pain & suffering upon millions/billions in their snuffling desperation against Mother Nature’s best gift to us:

Also don’t forget the Middle East leaders who act like private lenders to our oligarchs. No need for banks when Jared Kushner can just get 2 bil from a Saudi prince.

Yes like mining and destroying for the sake of EVs or moving to nuclear more and having more hidden containment areas in Wyoming, New Mexico in areas that will destroy water for centuries. Maybe learn the alternatives and enjoy some lithium fumes when it’s on fire to point at big oil and why…

The entire reason why Los Angeles doesn’t have a public transportation system fit for the 21st-century. Them along with the automobile industry ripped up all of our above ground rail systems in the 1950s so CA would become dependent on cars and gas to transit for the next century. It worked.

Reminds me of the tobacco industry… For generations they have known that smoking kills people, but as long as THEY were rolling in the dough, “That’s just the way it is.”…. and “How can we manipulate more teenagers into smoking?”

Green tech's biggest upside was always about self-sufficiency. "Saving the climate" was just a really fat side benefit.

300 million people got backed into a corner that isn't there. Clean natural burning gas has been a killer in the chemicals it fractures rock formations with and release of gas into the atmosphere is dirty. They want to charge you for solar panels and pay you a fraction they

charge for electricity generation. Wind turbines they put in water but it harms fishing industries. Like the gas and oil spewing out the engine doesn't. I don't know how they drill in water but if it's anything like land then that's not good for fishing especially when the Mississippi dumps into

The Gulf agriculture sewer and landfill run off all the way down to where ships that look the way they do go in and out with oil & gas and free exemptions on all of Americas necessities from Africa for Africans Asia for Indians & Chinese and the little Asian communities. And they keep shipping the

Same product back and forth like 1 car part goes across Mexico US and Canadian borders 7 times. We send fresh produce and grain to Canada they send processed food back. Soybeans for China but we subsidized it and pay their insurance for ruined crops.

And they are not done yet! Watch all of the sudden Hydrogen being pushed onto us as an alternative, IT IS NOT !! It’s the same Heroin, just changing dealer, but the big fish stay the same,and it will take us another 100 years to break, ELECTRIC IS THE END!! The Sun is Free,that’s why they fight it ☀️

"gas-powered vehicles cause at least twice as much environmental damage over their lifetimes as EVs" Cool, until you realize that you're still doing half the damage, which is significant. Stop rationalizing yourself as if you're somehow contributing. Your enjoyment is irrelevant.
