Is the Fossil Fuel Industry TRYING to Get Nationalized?
Foot-stomping resistance to every proposed change keeps the idea of oil nationalization trending.
The state of Montana and several fossil fuel industry groups are suing Portland, as reported in The Oregonian.
In a statement, Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen made it clear that he doesn’t give a fuck about the IPCC findings or any other science you might have lying around. There’s fossil fuels to move.
“The Portland government is artificially and intentionally preventing new and expanded infrastructure in order to achieve its politically motivated ‘climate action plan.’,” he said.
This type of obstructionism got old a long time ago. From Exxon’s promotion of fossil fuels despite its own very accurate climate modeling in the 1970s to undermining climate science to the present day, fossil fuel advocates have fought even incremental progress at every step.
It’s why serious people are using the word “nationalization”.
Of possible interest: “You could do the whole shebang for $800 billion.”
