The fossil fuel companies really do intend to keep on extracting and burning until they're forced to stop — no matter how much damage they do along the way. Their executives literally Do Not Care. The very definition of evil. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/b...
they hope to make enough $$ to amass enough resources to somehow ride out, in some semblance of the style w/ which they have become accustomed, the climate collapse that they themselves brought down upon all of us
of course he does.
Shareholder value is all that matters.
I read these are Chevron American Oil fields near Gaza Israel border
They're buying a stairway to hell and burning the planet on the way.
It buys them time to take over the alternative energy industry and then fleece us for that.
Is it “evil” to supply greedy consumers with what they want? Fentanyl? Fossil fuels? Kardashian merch?
Oil companies worked hard to both create demand and to mislead the public and politicians about the harmful consequences of extracting and burning. Its not "just" a demand problem.
I know. I was being ironical, but a little too understated.
It's almost impossible to pull off satire or irony on this; no matter how ridiculous a position, you can find somebody in a position of wealth and power pushing it.

To sustain their lifestyle yes....oil is needed...but there's are alternative including Wind & Solar.
Evil, vile children’s future destroyer
Meanwhile, I recently found 20-year-old book "The Long Emergency" by James Howard Kunstler in a small lending library at Mom's organic grocery store in Roslyn, PA (near Philly). 😳 Sequel, "Living in the Long Emergency," was published in early 2020. www.resilience.org/stories/2020...
They seem to believe oil demand will rise: that's what they tell their investors. They've been counting on developing countries' demand but those are going straight to renewables and EVs. If they don't want subsidies and stock prices to fall, they need to feed the public false predictions.
And buying politicians to stall renewables and charging infrastructure while paying off influencers to talk about slow, unreliable oil burners to delay EV adoption as long as possible in the US
The future is clean energy. Republicans &Trump want dirty energy with filthy profits www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...
He wants to fill his swimming pool with it. Let's push him in see if he'll swim in his own filth.
If the world will need oil for, "a long, long time", he's actually making the case for conserving what is, in fact, a finite resource.
Why do we keep subsidizing this industry that’s been here forever now. They’re not new like wind & solar that could use subsidies to grow.
Because we don't have sufficient oversight of Congress to prevent buyouts. We need another clone of Jasmine Crockett.
