„The U.S. produces more oil than it needs; it is a net exporter of oil and petroleum products. Problems in the Strait need not change the amount of oil produced in the U.S., nor the cost of pumping oil in the U.S., nor the amount of gasoline produced and used in the U.S.

But when prices recently increased for oil internationally, U.S. oil companies also raised prices stateside.“

PSA: Here's how the anti-net zero sausage gets made:
1. #Oilcompanies fund #climatedenial groups
2. which incubate #fakeexperts
3. who write policy papers for 'think tanks'
4. which get blurbed by politicians
5. & reported uncritically by right-wing media.

Voila!

‘What an #Authoritarian #Oligarchy Looks Like’: #Trump Says #OilExecs Tipped Off About #Venezuela Attack

“I can’t begin to tell you how insane this is,” said one critic. “He did not inform #Congress but he’s saying he informed the #OilCompanies.”

Excerpt: " 'I can’t begin to tell you how insane this is,' said Fred Wellman, an Army combat veteran now running for Congress as a Democrat in Missouri. 'He did not inform Congress, but he’s saying he informed the oil companies.'

" 'Keep in mind who he means,' Wellman added. 'The #billionaire #MegaDonor that just got control of #Citgo. Our service members were used directly to move the interests of Trump’s #donors.'

" 'The oil companies were notified before Congress,' said Melanie D’Arrigo, executive director of the Campaign for New York Health. 'This is what an authoritarian oligarchy looks like.' "

Venezuela: the US’s next Puerto Rico and Guam - except run for oil companies.
Next up: Greenland - run for mining companies. Even if it means NATO intervention first.
Then Cuba (just for Marco) and Columbia (just because the President there pissed off Agent Orange).

International Survey Shows 81% Back Forcing #BigOil to Pay for #Climate Destruction

"People are no longer buying the lies. They see the fingerprints of #FossilFuel giants all over the #storms, #floods, #droughts, and #wildfires devastating their lives, and they want accountability," said the head of one green group.

"Large majorities of people around the world support both taxing #oil, #gas, and #coal companies for the #EnvironmentalDamage made worse by fossil fuels and using higher taxes on #polluters to support communities most impacted by the #ClimateCrisis, according to the results of an international survey released Thursday.

"The study, which was jointly commissioned by #Greenpeace International and #Oxfam International, surveyed roughly 1,200 people in each of these 13 countries: #Brazil, #Canada, #France, #Germany, #India, #Italy, #Kenya, #Mexico, #Philippines, #SouthAfrica, #Spain, #UnitedKingdom, and the #UnitedStates. The research was conducted by the data company Dynata, and field work was done between May 9-28, 2025. Greenpeace noted that, taken together, the countries represent close to 50% of the globe's population.

"The results of the survey showed a whopping 81% of those surveyed would support taxes fossil fuel companies to pay for damages wrought by 'fossil-fuel driven climate disasters.'

"These survey results send a clear message: people are no longer buying the lies. They see the fingerprints of fossil fuel giants all over the storms, floods, droughts, and wildfires devastating their lives, and they want accountability," said #MadsChristensen, the executive director of #GreenpeaceInternational.

" 'It's only fair that those who caused the crisis should pay for the damage, not those suffering from it,' he added.

There’s already evidence that such relationships can sway the direction of academic studies. Reports published in 2009 and 2010 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard University, and #StanfordUniversity — all of which received significant funding from #oilcompanies — were biased in favor of #naturalgas compared to independent research, one study published in the journal #Nature in 2022 found.
