#BigOil Knew It Was Wrecking #Louisiana ’s Coast, Records Show
Now, parish lawsuits, including one in front of the Supreme Court, could make oil giants pay to restore the state’s vanishing marshes.
Emily Sanders 03/26/26
Excerpt: "Now, one of those cases is under consideration by the US Supreme Court. Last year, a state court jury found #Chevron liable in a lawsuit brought by #PlaqueminesParish, one of more than 40 parish lawsuits accusing oil companies of failing to secure permits for their operations and neglecting to clean up the damage they left behind in violation of state coastal management law. After the landmark verdict requiring Chevron to spend $745 million to restore the coast, the company appealed the case to the Supreme Court, which heard arguments in January.
"In light of the industry’s successful lobbying for legislation limiting landowners’ lawsuits, parish lawsuits are an especially crucial avenue to hold the companies accountable, some local attorneys say. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of the parishes and they continue to win their cases in state courts, they could make Chevron, #Exxon, #BP, #Shell, and other oil companies pay billions of dollars to help fund coastal restoration efforts as the state runs out of resources to support cleanup.

In 1901, a millionaire London socialite, negotiated an oil concession with the shah (the king of Iran). He financed this with capital he had made from mines in Queensland.
In 1908, the employees struck oil.
The Anglo-Iranian Oil Company was the #UK's "single largest overseas asset" and a "source of national pride" in the 1940s.
In 1951, it was nationalized by the Iranian Parliament. The British cabinet organized a worldwide embargo of Iran.
In July 1952, the Royal Navy intercepted the Italian tanker Rose Mary and forced it into the British protectorate of Aden on the grounds that the ship's petroleum was stolen property. News that the Royal Navy was intercepting tankers carrying Iranian oil scared off other tankers and effectively shut down oil exports from Iran.
The #MI6 and the #CIA organized a "coup d’État" in 1953.
In 1954, the company was renamed to The #BritishPetroleum Company.#history #mining #imperialism #Britain #oilAndGas #oil #Gulf #fossilFuels #mining #extraction #Queensland

Der Mineralölkonzern #BP, ehemals #BritishPetroleum, hat soeben angekündigt Investitionen in die Förderung von Öl und Gas auf 10 Milliarden Dollar pro Jahr zu erhöhen. Der Plan vermehrt auf erneuerbare Energien zu setzen wurde verworfen, man werde nur noch "äusserst selektiv" in Alternativen zu fossilen Energieträger investieren, um den Aktionärswert (shareholder value) zu maximieren. Das Nullemissionsziel bis 2050 wurde ebenfalls eingestampft.
