  1. Making it easier to get permits for carbon capture, transport and storage has been a major lobbying goal of #BigOil group IOGP, which is moderating a panel on “Strengthening Europe’s industrial base with CCS value chain”.

    4 out of 6 speakers on the panel are from the #fossilfuel industry. 🛢️🛢️🛢️🛢️

  2. The ICP is spearheaded by the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP), which represents all the big names in #BigOil, from BP, ExxonMobil & Shell to TotalEnergies, Eni & Equinor.

    The #EU Commission is sending 3 high-level speakers, alongside 9 speakers from #fossilfuel industry. 👇

  3. @rolf Maar we subsidieren #bigoil liever met 40 miljard euro per jaar. Schaf dat af en er is geld zat voor de noodzakelijke wateraanpak en energietransitie. Een kwestie van prioriteit.

  4. If my understanding is correct, that's #Farage and #ReformUK , the party funded by #BigOil that blames #immigrants for all of the #UK 's economic and social woes, is now blaming #climate #Activists for exposing their (presumably now more robustly vetted) party officials' willingness to deceive the public, the taxman and the parliamentary oversight committee?

    Were the immigrants too busy for this stitch-up or are they resisting by proxy on this one Nigel?

    A couple of days ago he (Farage) was blaming the 'complainants' and now apparently it's eco terrorists or the 'radical left' as the Orange Shitgibbon likes to call any group or individual with a social conscience.

    The #journalistic community to be demonised by their rhetoric next perhaps?

  5. Eight new #gas and #OilWells have been approved for San Ardo.

    “These enhanced# oil recovery methods come with all the risks of traditional production,” says Cooper Kass, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, a watchdog organization which has filed multiple lawsuits regarding California’s oil and gas industry. “They also bring a number of additional risks, including the potential for the high-pressure injection to damage the wellbore and/or crack the surrounding rock, which could lead to migration and #groundwater contamination.”—Report by Katie Rodriguez, #MontereyCountyNow

  11. The #PortlandME No Immunity for #BigOil rally was small, but powerful! We chanted and marched from #UselessSusanCollins office to #AngusKing 's office to #ChelliePingree 's office. Only Chellie committed to making Big Oil pay. I did NOT volunteer to go into Susan Collins' office, as I'm still on her shit-list. Met some good folks from #ThirdAct and #NRCM . It seems I was the only #MaineDSA member there, but that's okay -- a rally should have at least one card-carrying #Socialist! My hand-painted signs were a big hit. Someone asked if I hand painted #NoJobsOnADeadPlanet one. "Yup! No AI involved!" to which everyone laughed. I'm glad I went. I've been burnt out from protesting, so it was good to get my activist batteries recharged hanging out with good people!

    No Immunity for #BigOil Rallies!

    "While making record profits, Big Oil and their allies in Congress are trying to get off the hook from paying for damages caused by their pollution by passing sweeping immunity legislation to protect their #corporate interests.

    "Join NRCM and our coalition partners on Thursday, August 27th in Portland and/or Lewiston to tell Maine's Congressional delegation to oppose Immunity for Big Oil and Make Polluters Pay for the damages they've caused in Maine.

  22. @lorimolson Oil money at work? Not! This is the problem of foreign ownership, #BigOil not paying their share, and the #UCP not supporting #municipalities or #Albertans. It won't get better with separation.

    #Mikisew #Cree’s own health study confirms what the community has always known: the #OilSands are killing them. If governments and industry don’t act, they say they will shut it all down.

    Excerpt: "The findings confirmed what this community has carried in their grief, in their graveyards, for generations: cancer rates in Fort Chipewyan are at least 25 percent higher than the rest of Alberta. Since 1993, there have been 149 documented cases — and that number, Tuccaro says, is a gross underestimate. People who leave the community for treatment are no longer counted in local statistics. Factor those in, and the real number for Mikisew Cree members alone, he estimates, is closer to 250 to 300."

  24. "The Concord Fund — Leo’s confirmation-campaign vehicle — has given RAGA $18.8 million since 2014, including $2 million in the first half of 2024, making it RAGA’s largest single donor. Koch Industries, the American Petroleum Institute, and the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers have written six-figure checks. The circuit closes at every connection point."

  25. "CRC Advisors, the firm Leo controls, took in $24.9 million from Leo’s 85 Fund in 2023, with $80 million flowing from the network to CRC since Leo took over the firm in 2020.

    The fossil fuel industry’s entry into this network runs through the Republican Attorneys General Association, which has received $5.8 million from oil-and-gas companies and their lobbying groups since 2020 alone."

  28. "About 12 percent of Monterey County’s oil and gas wells are located within 200 feet of a river or creek. This includes the Salinas River, which runs through the San Ardo oil field, and is a critical source of the county’s groundwater.

    "In December 2025, over 4,000 gallons of oil and toxic wastewater spilled in the San Ardo oil field, just over a mile from where the Sargent Creek feeds the Salinas River. It is unconfirmed whether that spill was connected to an active or idle well.”

  29. "The aspiring autocrat knows how to survive. The Venezuela venture was another act of lawless chaos that further emboldened Trump to look around the hemisphere and wonder aloud at taking over Colombia, Mexico, Cuba and Greenland.

    In any previous era such would be considered the unhinged ravings of a madman. Today? He's daring us to look the other way."

  30. "In the long list of Trump's brazen deflections and acts of unbridled arrogance, his invasion of Venezuela and capture of Nicolás Maduro certainly competes for top of the list. It was a breathtaking example of his self-absorbed and illiterate approach to foreign policy. ...

    He wants the oil. He wants revenge. He wants to distract."

  32. "Despite Trump's infatuation with fossil fuels, Venezuelan oil may not be a good investment, especially now that wind and solar energy is cheaper than fossil fuels.

    Trump's war is illegal, unwise, immoral and a waste of money. It harms both Venezuela and the United States."

  33. "Trump bluntly says it is about oil, even though American oil companies are not eager to invest billions in Venezuelan oil production granted the political uncertainty. In addition, since Venezuelan oil is high in sulfur and difficult to refine, it sells for about $15 a barrel less than brent crude oil, which is currently selling at about $60 a barrel."

  34. "The result of Trump isolationism is that the world is less safe, and no one is better off economically except billionaires. ...

    Trump does not pretend he is defending democracy and human rights. He is not supporting the installation of the actual winner of the last Venezuelan presidential election."
