Good idea. Let’s have people who use way more in terms of fossil fuels than the average citizen investigate a fossil fuels company
Environmentalists Urging New Democratic Congress To Investigate Exxon
An influential environmentalist organization is urging the upcoming Congress to investigate ExxonMobil and other major fossil fuel companies regarding their alleged contribution to man-made climate change. (snip)
350.org, an environmental activist organization, is circling a petition that encourages Democratic lawmakers to investigate ExxonMobil over its knowledge and contribution to climate change. The accusations ring very similar to the #ExxonKnew campaign that’s been waged for several years against the major oil company.
“Launch a congressional investigation into ExxonMobil and other fossil fuel corporations for propagating confusion and denial about the scientific truth of climate change and for hiding the risks posed by their business activities to the planet,†read a portion of 350’s letter demanding “real climate leadership†from the upcoming 116th Congress.
Jamie Henn, a 350 co-founder, told Axios that an investigation into Exxon and other big oil companies should be a priority for the House Technology, Science and Space Committee.
Here’s an idea: if Warmists do not like fossil fuels, then they do not have to use them.
Democrats are already planning to dive in come next year and hold hearings on ‘climate change’. Would they attempt the same types of investigations we’ve seen in states? Most likely not. Exxon and other fossil fuels companies are beating back all sorts of legal assaults, and, most likely, the House Democrats are going to go full overreach after Trump, having no time to overreach by going after Exxon.
Regardless, what this is about is attempting to use the power of Government to go after entities involved in Wrongthink. Nothing Fascist about that, eh?
