Finally, its about time big oil companies start helping. They could do so much, and make more money if they get on the right side of climate change.
@J No idea.
@Augusta King NBC=Comcast / CNN=AT&T.. Same state sponsored monopolies getting billions in fiber “infrastructure”. Fox is just a channel on the lineup owned by NBC.
@J I don’t watch TV. I just jump around the net and skip the commercials. I read the news on my phone and go outside and work on stuff. I’m kinda retired.
@Augusta King Except your here commenting on NBC’s channel? TV is still TV even if it’s on YT.
@Augusta King Avoid *NBC, CNN, CBS, PBS, and any articles they sponsor. It’s basically all opinions, hearsay, conspiracy, and propaganda. Unsubscribe!
Watch, greedy Exxon and/or Shell are gonna shut down and declare bankruptcies, making those who still own and drive cars panic.
Meanwhile, people like myself who have been walking, biking, bussing, taking trains, we will be perfectly happy going about our days.
One more nail in the mid-term coffin, we just gotta get there.
BINGO! Internet comment of the week, everyone one really needs to take a few moments to wake up.
You weren’t paying attention. The SHAREHOLDERS and BELGIAN courts made those decisions.😂
We are getting closer the more energy prices increase.
At this point, investing in Big Fossil Fuel Energy is the equivalent of investing in whale oil circa the late 1800’s. I only invest in green energy, as I have since the early 2000’s, and not only is it lucrative, it is socially responsible.
I’m sure you don’t buy gasoline or plastic anymore, plz.
I try to minimize by doing without, buying items with less or NO packaging . Tried an electric car but infrastructure and my condo didn’t support. Ideally solar charger electric car and house but I can’t on my own. That’s why govt needs to get involved.
@Kar Walker Government is involved and that’s why we’re fukd.
Its why the Saudis have started selling Saudi Aramco off. Unfortunately we are probably the mugs who – through our pension funds – are buying it.
These oil companies can switch to making solar and other types of renewable energy sources..
No jobs lost..
Not much solar behind Biden/Putin’s NordStream2
Jobs gained, in fact, with solar panel, wind mill, or other sources’ maintenance and distribution.
Much to the chagrin of Moscow Mitch 🐢, 🇷🇺 Kremlin Cruz, Racist Ron Johnson and Miss 👗 Lindsey Graham. 😱
It’s pronounced Mitch McGobble.
@Wolf Tamer I call him the turtle aka Moscow Mitch
Ruling elite wants you to live in fear, scarcity, separation.
Gen X had “nuclear war,” once Berlin Wall fell it was into Muslim as others, then Trump supporters, and now mee-maw meme’ers in an “insurrection.”
Choose to live in love, gratitude, and abundance.
It’s about time. Now if they would start cleaning up their mess paying the people and Governments they have wronged
Chevron has a 62billion judgement against them in Ecuador them 10years ago still havent paid a penny just delay stall and attack the people who brought the suit so a couple board members will just be a pr game. look up donvinger vs chevron
In other words, a huge win for the planet and all sentient beings. Let’s keep winning.
@Friend Having political discourse isn’t whining. It’s communicating with fellow Americans. Something the left doesn’t know how to do apparently.
@No Show Joe How was the Keystone XL pipeline a loss? It was a gain since it makes oil distribution harder, and thus, forces more efficient energy solutions and it doesn’t pass through Native American land and forests. It’s a win all around.
@No Show Joe Your name is “No Show Joe” you’re a little whiner troll dude. Quit begging for food.
@Overkall You sound like a classic BETA.
@watchwinder A fish? What does that have to do with anything? Are you okay?
Vanguard good influence on climate responsible energy! ❤️
If only these companies had been led by real leaders rather than corporate yes men who only knew how to keep doing what they’d always done: they’d be world leaders in renewable energy and the world would not be tottering on the brink of an abyss.
It always makes me smile when people force companies to do the right thing.
I’m an XOM shareholder I voted for the Engine 1 candidates.
The biggest expense once oil is finally discarded within a decade is the toxic infrastructure these oil companies will abandon for the tax payer to clean up.
No free energy device will ever be allowed to reach the market.
Nikola Tesla
It kinda coincides with the fall of energy stock prices last year to the rising stock prices of energy this year. Maybe the rise was due to activist investors or funds buying and accumulating enough shares to make a difference.
Yes…….It’s about time to start protecting our environment…and reverse carbon emissions..
Oil companies need to see the writing on the wall and diversify. FAST.
*I needed to hear some good news. Thank goodness this climate change response is finally beginning to work!* 🤷🏻♀️
