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

Operación “Paria Económico”: la última carta de Trump en el callejón iraní
Por: Alejandro Marcó del Pont
Seguimos luchando y presionando sin tener que enviar más tropas al terreno (El Tábano Economista)
Cuando una potencia hegemónica no puede lograr sus objetivos máximos en una guerra y, al mismo tiempo, no puede permitirse el costo político de una rendición diplomática explícita, recurre a las sanciones económicas como cortina de humo. La «Operación Paria Económico», anunciada por el secretario del Tesoro Scott Bessent el 25 de agosto de 2026, es menos un arma de destrucción masiva contra Irán y más un escudo político doméstico para enmascarar un punto muerto estratégico, mientras el ciudadano medio subsidia esa ambigüedad con su inflación y su seguridad energética.
En la práctica, esta ofensiva económica representa una admisión tácita de que la opción militar está agotada, que la coalición internacional para un aislamiento total es imposible, y que lo único que queda es mantener una presión simbólica que permita a los políticos actuales sobrevivir a las elecciones de medio término sin tener que explicar por qué el conflicto no resolvió nada. Trump puede seguir diciendo que «seguimos luchando y presionando» sin tener que enviar más tropas al terreno, apelando a una base que apoya la presión máxima, pero se opone abrumadoramente a «botas en el suelo».
Los objetivos originales de la campaña militar estadounidense contra Irán eran ambiciosos y completamente imprecisos, por decir lo menos: asesinato del líder supremo Ali Khamenei, cambio de régimen, finalizar el enriquecimiento de uranio, desmantelamiento nuclear completo, eliminación del arsenal de misiles balísticos y drones, y ahora, como objetivo mínimo viable, la apertura del Estrecho de Ormuz. Casi siete meses después del inicio de la ofensiva en febrero de 2026, ninguno de estos objetivos se ha cumplido. Irán no solo mantiene su régimen intacto, sino que ha demostrado una resiliencia que pocos analistas occidentales anticiparon.
En el libro «Cómo funcionan las sanciones. Irán y el impacto de la guerra económica«, publicado en 2024 por Stanford University Press, se explora la eficacia limitada de las sanciones económicas contra la República Islámica. Aunque la obra tiene una perspectiva que no pudo considerar los cambios recientes en la región por su fecha de aparición, su tesis central se mantiene vigente: Irán lleva 47 años bajo sanciones occidentales y ha desarrollado una «economía de resistencia» sofisticada, con sustitución de importaciones, descentralización de plantas energéticas y un aparato bien aceitado para evadir sanciones petroleras. Como concluyen los autores, las sanciones «no han obligado a Irán a estancarse», sino que, por el contrario, «lo han obligado a innovar, aunque no de maneras que resulten aceptables para Occidente».
Esta experiencia iraní no pasó desapercibida para otros actores globales. Rusia aprendió directamente de la experiencia iraní frente a sanciones. Un análisis de IUVM Press señala que «la experiencia de tres años de Rusia frente a sanciones extensas, comparada con el casi medio siglo de sanciones integrales de Irán, prueba la resiliencia histórica de la nación y gobierno iraní«. Moscú ha adoptado un modelo asimilable al que otros países sancionados pueden seguir, adaptando las lecciones teheraníes a su propio contexto energético y financiero.
A esto se suma el factor chino, que ha advertido explícitamente a Washington que tomará represalias si se amplían las sanciones secundarias contra empresas chinas debido a su cooperación con Irán. China, el mayor importador de petróleo iraní, ha declarado que tomará todas las medidas necesarias contra la «represión del comercio con Teherán». El 7 y el 13 de abril de 2026, el Consejo de Estado de China promulgó dos reglamentos para contrarrestar las sanciones extranjeras: las Disposiciones sobre Seguridad Industrial y de la Cadena de Suministro (Ordenes del Consejo de Estado n.º 834 y 835) y las Disposiciones sobre Jurisdicción Extraterritorial.
Estas normas complementan la autoridad existente de Beijing para tomar represalias contra sanciones extranjeras, incluyendo medidas contra empresas extranjeras que implementen dichas restricciones. La idea es clara: terminar con los tratados de empresas extranjeras que tomen acciones contra China, no permitir contratos o ventas de esas empresas en el mercado chino.
Todo da la impresión de que las sanciones son un juego de sombras, una venta de humo diplomático. El «Día D económico», en el vocabulario hiperbólico de Donald Trump, es tan limitado como hueco. Trump se refirió a la operación como «la operación económica más aplastante jamás emprendida contra país alguno». Sin embargo, casi siete meses después del inicio de la ofensiva estadounidense contra Teherán, la economía iraní, aunque dañada, está lejos de estar descarrilada. Las exportaciones de petróleo iraníes no solo se mantuvieron, sino que se recuperaron a niveles superiores a los del acuerdo nuclear en 2024, sosteniéndose en 2025 y principios de 2026.
Si las palabras ganaran guerras, el conflicto de Donald Trump con Irán habría terminado hace mucho tiempo. Pero lo cierto es que Trump está atrapado en dos trampas que él mismo ha creado: una geopolítica y otra interna. La influencia de Irán sobre el Estrecho de Ormuz y su negativa a ceder le impiden poner fin a la guerra de forma definitiva a un precio militar aceptable. Meses depués del atáque, la opinión generalizada es que es Trump quien necesita urgentemente poner fin a un conflicto que, con las elecciones de mitad de mandato a la vuelta de la esquina, ha hundido su índice de aprobación al 30%, el más bajo desde que asumió la presidencia y uno de los niveles más bajos con los que un líder estadounidense ha afrontado unas elecciones legislativas.
En medio de una campaña electoral donde los republicanos enfrentan riesgos significativos de perder al menos una cámara del Congreso, las sanciones contra Irán ofrecen beneficios políticos y estratégicos limitados para la administración Trump, mientras imponen costos económicos tangibles al ciudadano medio estadounidense. Las sanciones permiten a Trump proyectar acción decisiva sin comprometer tropas terrestres, apelando a votantes que apoyan la presión máxima, pero se oponen a «militares en el terreno» (58% de votantes de Trump se oponen a enviar tropas). Sin embargo, este beneficio es marginal: solo 38% de los estadounidenses apoyan las sanciones, y la guerra en general es vista como «no vale la pena el costo» por 75% de la población.
La administración argumenta que debilitar la economía iraní reduce la capacidad de Teherán para financiar proxies regionales y desarrollar armas nucleares. Sin embargo, 41% de los estadounidenses cree que Trump carece de un plan coherente para Irán, y solo 15% piensa que ha cumplido sus objetivos.
¿Qué le aporta las sanciones realmente al ciudadano medio estadounidense? El shock en los precios de la energía, derivado de la tensión en el Estrecho de Ormuz y las sanciones, ha alterado la trayectoria de la inflación. La gasolina subió alrededor de un 17% desde el inicio del conflicto, impactando directamente el bolsillo de las familias. Los precios de alimentos y fertilizantes permanecen elevados debido a la guerra, afectando el costo de vida que los votantes identifican como su principal preocupación.
Lo que queda claro es que la «Operación Paria Económico» no es una estrategia ofensiva confiada, sino más bien un intento desesperado de enmarcar una derrota y encontrar una salida política a un conflicto que se ha convertido en una trampa electoral para los republicanos. Como señaló Kurt Bardella, ex asistente del Congreso: «Lo que estamos viendo ahora es el completo desmoronamiento de todo lo que Donald Trump, MAGA y los republicanos dijeron que eran. Estaban contra los conflictos interminables en Medio Oriente y comenzaron un conflicto en Medio Oriente sin una estrategia de salida».
El Estrecho de Ormuz marca una contradicción fundamental entre los negocios de las élites y el impacto sobre la población y su voto. El cierre del Estrecho ha creado una economía de guerra que beneficia a actores específicos, mientras perjudica a la sociedad estadounidense promedio. Los datos confirman esta intuición de manera contundente.
¿Quiénes ganan con el Estrecho cerrado? La lista es ilustrativa. Irán vio sus ingresos petroleros aumentar 37% en marzo de 2026 frente al año anterior. Ahora vende petróleo con 20% de prima sobre precios previos a la guerra, cuando antes vendía con descuento de 10-15 dólares por barril por riesgo de sanciones. Arabia Saudita aumentó sus ingresos petroleros 4,3% a pesar de que las exportaciones cayeron 26%, gracias a que los precios más altos compensaron con creces la reducción de volúmenes. Omán aumentó 26% sus ingresos en marzo de 2026, gracias a sus puertos en el Mar Arábigo como salida alternativa del Estrecho.
Las empresas petroleras estadounidenses de Texas reportaron ganancias extraordinarias. Exxon Mobil informó una ganancia neta de 14.530 millones de dólares entre abril y junio, un incremento interanual del 105%, mientras que sus ingresos ascendieron a 116.020 millones de dólares, un 42% más que en igual período del año anterior. Chevron casi cuadruplicó sus beneficios al registrar una utilidad de 12.070 millones de dólares, un salto del 385% respecto del segundo trimestre de 2025. Sus ingresos crecieron 56% y alcanzaron los 70.060 millones de dólares. La petrolera rusa Rosneft aumentó sus ventas en un mes 14.500 millones de dólares.
El Estrecho cerrado genera una redistribución de riqueza hacia productores petroleros y empresas energéticas, mientras impone costos a los consumidores y a países sin alternativas logísticas. La pregunta política es inevitable: ¿por qué Estados Unidos, bajo una administración que hizo campaña con «America First» y contra guerras interminables, está librando un conflicto que aumenta los precios de la gasolina para sus votantes, beneficia a Irán (su adversario declarado) con ingresos más altos, favorece a Rusia (otro adversario) con precios más elevados y contribuye a las empresas petroleras de Texas que no necesitan ayuda del gobierno?
La respuesta incómoda es que la guerra se ha convertido en su propia justificación. Los actores que se benefician del caos (empresas petroleras, Irán, Rusia) tienen incentivos para mantener la tensión, mientras los perdedores consumidores estadounidenses y mundiales no tienen poder de veto. Como señaló Neil Quilliam de Chatham House: «Ahora que Ormuz ha sido cerrado, puede ser cerrado una y otra vez, y eso plantea una gran amenaza para la economía global».
Esa prima de 40 dólares por barril es una transferencia de riqueza de los consumidores a los productores. Cuánto afectará a Trump esta contradicción en las urnas de noviembre dependerá de cuánto crean los votantes en la «Operación Paria Económico» sin mirar los resultados concretos. Pero la evidencia sugiere que los estadounidenses ya han hecho sus cálculos: 75% considera que la guerra no vale el costo, 41% cree que Trump carece de un plan coherente, y solo 15% piensa que ha cumplido sus objetivos.
La «Operación Paria Económico» es, en última instancia, el reconocimiento de que Estados Unidos ha alcanzado los límites de lo que se puede lograr a través de sanciones y presión económica. El bloqueo mismo, un acto de guerra bajo derecho internacional, es un reconocimiento de que las sanciones empleadas durante décadas «no han cumplido su propósito previsto».
Trump siempre ha tenido múltiples estrategias de salida. Pero como nota el análisis de CNN: «Las guerras tienen una manera de superar los planes de un presidente». La pregunta que queda abierta es si los votantes estadounidenses castigarán en noviembre esta contradicción entre la retórica de «America First» y una guerra que beneficia a adversarios declarados mientras perjudica a las familias estadounidenses. La respuesta, como algunas veces en política, la darán las urnas.

Major #OilCompanies reap massive profits as US and Iran fighting drives energy prices higher
By CATHY BUSSEWITZ
Updated 11:11 AM EDT, July 31, 2026NEW YORK (AP) — "American oil and gas giants raked in massive spring profits while fighting between Iran and the U.S. impeded petroleum shipments and consumers around the world paid more for fuel and confronted shortages.
"The conflict, now in its sixth month, halted most shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow waterway that previously served as a delivery route for a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas. With global supplies constrained, prices for Brent crude, the international standard, soared from about $70 to above $100 a barrel for much of March, April and May, and at one point reached $126.
"The money that oil companies accrued between the beginning of April and the end of June could receive extra scrutiny this year. Gasoline, diesel and jet fuel prices climbed sharply during that period, increasing costs for drivers and airline passengers. Supplies ran low in some countries, leading to sporadic fuel rationing in #Australia and government office closures in #Nepal and #SriLanka.
" #ExxonMobil on Friday reported that its second quarter profits doubled to $14.53 billion, boosted by record diesel production. The oil giant, based in Spring, Texas, brought in $116.02 billion in revenue, up 42%.
" #Chevron, based in Houston, nearly quadrupled its profits to $12.07 billion and revenue jumped 56% to $70.06 billion.
"Six of #Europe’s largest oil companies posted combined first-quarter profits of $22 billion, more than 40% higher than last year.
" 'There are constituencies around the world who are having a very good crisis, and the oil producers are one of them,' said Patrick Galey, #FossilFuels lead at #GlobalWitness, a nonprofit organization that investigates environmental issues. 'When you compare that to the hundreds of millions of people who are struggling with #RollingBlackouts, with #ElectricityCurbs, #rationing, waiting in line for #FoodQueues, or the disruption to fertilizers and the potential impact that that has on food prices, we don’t think that it’s a justifiable price for the rest of the world to be paying.' "

American Strategy in Libya: Investments, Influence, and Challenges in a Context of Instability
The United States is deploying a strategy centered on massive investments ($70 billion USD) in key sectors such as oil, infrastructure, and telecommunications, led by companies like ExxonMobil. The freezing of oil revenues under international supervision, along with diplomatic partnerships, allows it to strengthen its economic and geopolitical grip, leveraging Libya’s fragmentation. Does this strategy truly aim to stabilize Libya, or does it merely perpetuate American influence under the guise of development?

From 2021... This started before #Trump, but things are way worse now!
#AntiProtestLaws Threaten #Indigenous and #Climate Movements
“#CriticalInfrastructure” laws in over a dozen states wrongly invoke national security to justify targeting #PipelineProtesters.
Kaylana Mueller-Hsia, March 17, 2021
"In 2016 as a member of Congress, #DebHaaland stood for four days in solidarity with protesters at the #StandingRockSioux Reservation against construction of the #DakotaAccessPipeline. Today, as the first #NativeAmerican to be the secretary of the interior — the first to lead any cabinet department — she has the opportunity to support the #FirstAmendment rights of the protesters she joined in the past.
"With her authority over energy development on federal lands, Haaland can be a voice for Indigenous and climate movements facing an urgent threat: the rapid spread of laws to protect 'critical infrastructure' that single out activists.
"Since 2016, 13 states have quietly enacted laws that increase criminal penalties for trespassing, damage, and interference with infrastructure sites such as oil refineries and pipelines. At least five more states have already introduced similar legislation this year. These laws draw from national security legislation enacted after 9/11 to protect physical infrastructure considered so 'vital' that the 'incapacity or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety.'
"Many industry sectors are designated critical infrastructure, including food and agriculture, energy, water and wastewater, and communications, but most state critical infrastructure laws focus more narrowly on oil and gas #pipelines. While protecting critical infrastructure is a legitimate government function, these laws clearly target environmental and Indigenous activists by significantly raising the penalties for participating in or even tangentially supporting pipeline trespassing and property damage, crimes that are already illegal. Many laws are modelled on draft legislation prepared by the American Legislative Exchange Council, also known as #ALEC, a powerful lobbying group funded by #FossilFuel companies like #ExxonMobil and #Shell.
"Central to the new critical infrastructure laws are increased criminal penalties and vague, broad definitions that could discourage protest and particularly, nonviolent civil disobedience. Many laws make any 'damage' to or 'interference' with a facility deemed critical infrastructure a felony. Under #Ohio’s law, trespass with the purpose of 'tampering' with a facility is a third degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine. In Indiana, a felony conviction is applied for any facility trespass, a crime that is typically a misdemeanor or fine.
"Vague language like 'damage,' 'tamper,' and 'impede' in critical infrastructure laws makes it unclear if, for example, knocking down #SafetyCones and starting a fire next to a natural gas facility are the same under the law. Many critical infrastructure laws do not clarify if they apply only to land a company fully owns or also to pipeline easements, which run through both public and private lands. At least some laws apply to both. Only a week after Louisiana’s critical infrastructure law was enacted, opponents of the Bayou Bridge pipeline were charged with trespassing for boating on public waters on the border of a pipeline easement.
"The combination of overly broad language and steep penalties in critical infrastructure laws make it likely that future activists and supporting organizations will be discouraged from exercising their First Amendment-protected protest rights. A lawsuit brought in response to the #BayouBridge charges will test the laws for the first time on First Amendment grounds.
"Many of these laws even extend beyond the protesters. In a proposed law in #Minnesota, anyone who 'recruits, trains, aids, advises, hires, counsels, or conspires' someone to trespass without a 'reasonable effort' to prevent the trespassing is guilty of a gross misdemeanor. In #Oklahoma organizations that conspire with perpetrators are liable to be fined up to $1 million. These laws may infringe on the freedom of association protected under the First Amendment. Indeed, the Supreme Court ruled that the illegal actions of a few individuals do not implicate an entire group.
"The criminalization of environmental protest is fueled by federal security agencies and oil and gas companies, who are often major political donors. For years, the Department of #HomelandSecurity and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have labelled activists at infrastructure sites as #DomesticTerrorists and violent extremists in order to justify further #surveillance and #policing. Government documents have been released that detail the FBI’s focus on '#AnimalRights / #EnvironmentalExtremism,' describing even #NonviolentProtesters as #extremists.
"At Standing Rock, a private security firm [#Blackwater] hired by the pipeline companies consistently referred to protesters as 'terrorists' while working with law enforcement. Ahead of the #KeystoneXLPipeline protests in 2018, #DHS agents held an '#AntiTerrorism training' for state and local authorities. In contrast, members of the #FarRight militant group the #ThreePercenters have established a significant presence at oil and gas plants with little law enforcement reaction.
"To be sure, as the recent power outages in Texas showed so vividly, the United States needs reliable energy. But it’s questionable whether pipeline construction sites that could feasibly be moved or replaced with renewable energy sources should legitimately be considered 'vital' to the energy grid. Furthermore, a singular focus on this aspect of security comes at the cost of others. Whose essential resources do pipeline projects protect and whose do they threaten? Black Americans are disproportionately likely to live near natural #GasPipelines and experience higher #CancerRisk due to unclean air. An oil spill from the Dakota Access Pipeline could devastate the #SiouxTribe’s water source. Meanwhile, on some reservations, 10 percent of households lack electricity and as many as 40 percent of households must haul water and use outhouses. The well-being of these communities must count too.
"The rise in critical infrastructure laws may foreshadow more anti-protest legislation to come. A similar wave of anti-protest laws has already begun in response to the 2020 #BlackLivesMatter protests. State legislators contemplating critical infrastructure laws should bear in mind that laws that criminalize trespassing and protect the safety of construction workers and law enforcement already exist. Critical infrastructure laws don’t fill an unmet need — they only raise the penalties for specific groups of people. Courts adjudicating #FirstAmendment challenges in the coming years should recognize that these laws are overbroad and impose disproportionately severe penalties that chill freedom of assembly and association.
"As secretary of the interior, Haaland promises to uplift the voices of Indigenous and climate protesters in the Biden administration. State legislators, law enforcement, and the fossil fuel industry should follow suit and listen to these activists rather than suppressing constitutionally protected activity under the guise of national security."

Dus dat kloterige Energie Handvest Verdrag, waar de Nederlandse regering onder aanvoering van wijlen Ruud Lubbers (CDA) zich indertijd hard voor heeft gemaakt, biedt #ExxonMobil nu de mogelijkheid om de Nederlandse staat een flinke poot uit te draaien vanwege het sluiten van het Groninger gasveld.

It’s outrageous that Australian governments continue to prioritise the gas cartel and foreign interests over affordable electricity for Australians. As Rex Patrick reveals in the latest FOI documents, that’s exactly what’s happening.
In October 2022, nine months after Russia invaded Ukraine, then WA Premier Mark McGowan advised the federal government to follow his state’s lead on managing rising gas and electricity prices.

@ApaulD Why do people believe gas is the backbone of WA’s economy when 90% of it is exported by a few mostly foreign-owned corporations? These companies get most of the gas royalty-free, contribute less than 2% to the state’s budget, pay minimal taxes (if any), and still receive huge taxpayer subsidies.

Tribes Sue Six Oil Giants for #ClimateDeception
"These oil companies knew their products were dangerous, yet they did nothing to mitigate those dangers or warn any of us about them, for decades," said the chairwoman of the #ShoalwaterBay Indian Tribe.
Julia Conley
Dec 20, 2023"Two Indigenous tribes in #WashingtonState said Wednesday that they intend to force several oil giants 'to help pay for the high costs of surviving the catastrophe caused by the #ClimateCrisis,' as they filed lawsuits in the state's largest trial court.
"The #Makah Indian Tribe and Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe filed two separate complaints in King County Superior Court against #ExxonMobil, #Shell, #Chevron, #BP, #ConocoPhillips, and #Phillips66, saying the defendants must be held 'accountable for their deceptive and unfair conduct, and pay for the damage their deceptive conduct has caused and will cause for decades to come.'
"The lawsuits—among dozens filed against #BigOil since 2017—detail the extent to which the companies have long known that their fossil fuel extraction would drive planetary heating and the resulting #SeaLevelRise, #ExtremeWeather, #PublicHealth crises, and other impacts of the climate crisis, which now costs the U.S. roughly $150 billion per year just in damages from #hurricanes and other weather disasters.
"'We are seeing the effects of the climate crisis on our people, our land, and our resources. The costs and consequences to us are overwhelming,' said Timothy Greene Sr., chairman of the Makah Tribal Council. 'We intend to hold these companies accountable for hiding the truth about climate change and the effects of burning fossil fuels.'"

Es ist an Dreistigkeit nicht zu überbieten, wenn sich der Chef von #exxonmobil, die uns (mit and. Firmen) sehendes Auges in die #Klimakrise geführt hat, bei #COP28 beklagt, es werde zuviel vom Ausstieg aus den Fossilen gesprochen

#FossilFuel firms spent millions on #US lawmakers who sponsored #antiprotest bills
About 60% of #OilAndGasIndustry operations protected from protest due to money spent on lobbying, says #Greenpeace USA report
Nina Lakhani
23 Oct 2023"Fossil fuel companies have spent millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign donations to state lawmakers who sponsored anti-protest laws – which now shield about 60% of US gas and oil operations from protest and civil disobedience, according to a new report from Greenpeace USA.
"Eighteen states including #Montana, #Ohio, #Georgia, #Louisiana, #WestVirginia and the #Dakotas have enacted sweeping anti-protest laws which boost penalties for trespass near so-called critical infrastructure, that make it far riskier for communities to oppose pipelines and other fossil fuel projects that threaten their land, water and the global climate.
"Another four states have enacted narrower versions of the same law, but which could still be exploited to issue trumped-up charges against peaceful protesters. Many were based on a 'model bill' promoted by the industry-funded American Legislative Exchange Council (Alec).
"According to the report, nine of the top 10 companies that lobbied most for anti-protest bills since 2017 are fossil fuel companies, including US companies #ExxonMobil, #KochIndustries and #MarathonPetroleum, as well as Canadian companies #Enbridge and #TCEnergy (#TransCanada).
"In addition, 25 fossil fuel and energy companies have contributed more than $5m to state anti-protest bill sponsors in this timeframe, data from political finance trackers #OpenSecrets and #FollowTheMoney shows."

Scientist Rebellion Germany on Instagram: ""In 2015, investigative journalists discovered internal company memos indicating that the oil company @ExxonMobil has known since the late 1970s that its fossil fuel products could lead to #GlobalWarming with «dramatic environmental effects before the year 2050.»" "#Exxon's internal documents, as well as peer-reviewed studies published by Exxon and ExxonMobil Corp scientists, overwhelmingly acknowledged that #ClimatChange is real and human-caused.

@rbreich @davevolek @humansriseup Regarding oil companies, you can certainly stop buying fuel & boycott all of them. Or you can pick the lesser of evils and only buy oil from that company. The worst is #Chevron & #ExxonMobil. #Totaal is partnered w/Google so you can boycott them together. #Microsoft is partnered with Chevron so boycott them together. IIRC, #Amazon is partnered with BP.

'stuitend'
Ik zou zeggen bereken de schadeclaim wegens geen gas meer oppompen royaal, bestem het volledige bedrag voor Groningen en laat de NAM alle kosten inclusief uitvoeringskosten daarvan betalen.

Aiemmin tässä kuussa luimme uutisista, että #Exxon tiesi fossiilisten polttoaineiden aiheuttavan ilmastonmuutoksen jo 1970-luvulla. Ja lobbasi ja levitti disinformaatiota sen jälkeen vuosikymmeniä, ettei #ilmastotoimet aloitettu riittävän ajoissa.
Tänään uutisoidaan, että #ExxonMobil teki viime vuonna historiallisen suuren liikevoiton, koska #UkrainanSota ja #energiakriisi.
Kyllä #kapitalismi on ihanaa ja maailma reilu mestapleisi!
