Will they also go after all the those companies providing at least 700 different products that are made with petroleum? Maybe those that make plastics for all the TVs and streaming boxes? All their fancy clothes they have for their “influencer photoshoots”? For their eyeglasses?
2 California bills seek to charge oil, gas companies for climate change
Insurance rates are rising quickly in California because of fires and floods linked to climate change and now, two new bills in Sacramento seek to make oil and gas companies pay.
The Affordable Insurance and Climate Recovery Act would create legal pathways for homeowners, insurance companies and the state insurance plan to sue and recover losses from oil and gas companies. (snip)
The Western States Petroleum Association called the bills a way for politicians to capitalize on tragedy. The California Independent Petroleum Association said the real culprits for the fires are arsonists, environmental lawsuits that prevent forest management, and cuts to firefighting budgets.
The fossil fuels companies wouldn’t stay in business if people weren’t purchasing their products.
Romero also supports the Polluters Pay Superfund bill, which would charge fossil fuel companies according to their role in climate change and invest in climate-resilient communities.
“It requires the California Environmental Protection Agency to do a report about the actual costs, both looking backwards and forwards, that climate change has caused to California in terms of our infrastructure, disaster response and things like that,” Romero outlined.
Might this be the straw that broke the camels back, where the fossil fuels companies simply say “hang it all, we are not suing, even though we have a good chance of winning in federal court, we’re just done with the People’s Republik Of California, and are no longer going to operate in the state”? How will the PRC operate all the huge number of airports? And seaports? Those ships and planes and helicopters need fuel. How will the Elites get to their cushy vacation spots? How will they operate emergency services? Etc and so on.
