  1. What do you want, cheap fuel or clean air. You can't have both.

  2. The politics of global warming, came before the science of climate change because fossil fuels won't last forever.
    Fear is the climate change to motivate the masses to buy a new sustainable future.

  3. People have no idea what digging up minerals does to the earth to mine for EV cars as well.
    This is all a push to bankrupt oil so the US can nationalize the oil companies.

  4. I kidding….this has been going on since the 70s. As long as they have power in Washington they’ll continue as this is their money. They don’t care it’s the bucks

  5. Hopefully everybody learns their lesson and never let the Dems be in charge of anything ever again

  6. President Biden asks Saudi Arabia to increase oil production as he withdraws oil from the strategic oil reserve and as he calls upon Chevron, BP etc to increase investment in U.S. oil production. Now Congressional Democrats want to make US oil production a crime

  7. We’ve known this for decades but big oil companies don’t care.

  8. the climate is doomed blame the boomers

  9. Wow Oil greenwashing their public image, like they haven’t been already doing that for decades. And yet, so little coverage from media overall.

  10. Idiocy believes inept politicians can alter global weather patterns to create an environmental utopia. These inept politicians cannot even do the basics but that doesn't matter to mind numb cult members.

  11. Already did. Something about liquified remains, that burn well.

  12. And global warming has been around for millions of years. What do volcanoes put into the atmosphere.

  13. Cutoff 100 million barrels of oil per day and watch 7 billion humans starve.

  14. #BigOil Making 8 Billion, 16 Billion & 63 Billion in a quarter respectfully while taking in #Subsidies put forth by a #GOP head Energy & Commerce Committee

  15. Right, because it has nothing to do with the sun, and the 12k year cycles that are affecting the earth as well as every other planet in our solar system in ways like, total atmosphere collapse, reversal, sudden exponential increase, or quakes and mantel or lithosphere disruptive activity never seen before. Its all about "CO2, and Oil". Morons.

  16. Electrify and mandate all societal materials like automobiles and inner-city transport, obligatory, and only keep the fossil-fuels for mass heating and necessary commitments. All else is battery-fueled and free of charge for the public. Eliminate cars by replacing them with electric ones NOW 💯💯

  17. Typical of liberal activists to claim that oil companies are misleading the public about the dangers of fossil fuels! Next thing you know, those wacky socialists will be telling us that tobacco is dangerous.

  18. Rohit Khanna…the biggest fraud in the squad

  19. Greed will be the end of the world as we know it

  20. Currently life has been so hard with all the average persons due to the Russian and Ukrainian war their have been so much economic crisis but l believe this is the best❤️ time to look up to digital currency investment stock marketing is good 😊…

  21. And I wonder who the lawmakers are who were approached by these high dollar lobbyists???

  22. the feds need to put the fear of god into big oil.

  23. Make "Green Washing" illegal already

  24. I guess Elon Musk is taking the wealthy to Mars
