Fury after Exxon chief says public to blame for climate failures
Darren Woods tells Fortune consumers not willing to pay for clean-energy transition, prompting backlash from climate experts
Friendly reminder that Exxon themselves independently discovered their own business contributes to climate change waaaayy before it became the political trap it is now. He is arguing in bad faith and knows it too. Hold his feet to the fire
The infuriating thing is the oil industry was (and still is) well positioned to do something about it. To build offshore wind farms you need people experienced with building structures offshore. Which the oil industry has. To transport hydrogen over land you need people who can build pipelines. Which the oil industry has. To transport Hydrogen overseas you need some chemical engineers to figure out how to get it into a forma they can easily transport (Ammonia maybe?). Which the oil industry has. Geothermal? Well you need people that are experienced in drilling into the ground... which yeah...
But you'd need to have a lot of money to invest into these projects... oh wait they have that too, don't they?
The only problem was these projects would take time to start turning a profit and they only care about quarterly profits for just long enough to get their golden parachutes.
So basically the oil industry has what's needed to solve the problem... they just don't wanna.
This is the primary reason governments worldwide need to introduce a carbon tax. There are legitimate uses for petrochemicals and plastics, but to save the planet carbon capture and diverse energy production are needed yesterday
they just don’t wanna.
The fossil fuel companies tried it and found out renewables don't have the same return on investment that they're accustomed to, so they stopped with renewable projects.
So yes, all about money.
Can we just hang this moron by his testicles?
Helicopter him to Prince William Sound and tell him we'll come back for him once he's finished licking up what remains of his company's greatest accomplishment?
How about drinking 5 ounces of crude every 6 hours?
love the depth to this reply
what a ball head.
How much do you think a guillotine weighs? I've been thinking about adding a tow hitch to my car lately anyway...
Lmao classic response from Big Oil. These fuckers have been jerking each other off for forever now trying to figure out how to keep the Rockefeller dream alive
Wish we could treat the rot already
"Hey poors, I dare you to eat me!"
-Darren Woods pretty much
The public is to blame for climate change. It hasn't eaten him yet.
Well, somehow he is right: all over the world, the excessive greed of these scoundrels has been allowed to continue for far too long.
Put his head on a spike.
I think vlad the impaler had a better method that would be better
I keep reading "furry".
the word fury has really lost some of its power, huh ?
