Donald Trump Is at Risk of Getting Named in a Fossil Fuels Conspiracy Lawsuit
By Pam Martens and Russ Martens | November 27, 2024 ~
Trump must have liked what he heard from the fossil fuel industry because when he accepted the presidential nomination at the Republican National Convention on July 18, he told the crowd this: "We will drill, baby, drill…We will do it at levels that nobody's ever seen before."
By October 21, when Trump delivered remarks to a crowd of the religious right in Concord, North Carolina, he promised the crowd the following if they would vote for him: "We will frack, frack, frack, and drill, baby, drill."
Trump's remarks came in the same year that the U.S. was experiencing record hot temperatures in both air and coastal waters along with unprecedented wild fires, floods and hurricanes.
Yesterday, the Attorney General of the state of Maine, Aaron Frey, filed a breathtaking lawsuit in state court against fossil fuel companies, including at least two entities that were in attendance at Trump's confab at Mar-a-Lago in April. Named as defendants, thus far, are: Exxon, Shell, Chevron, BP, Sunoco, and the American Petroleum Institute.
In a statement, Attorney General Frey explained the rationale of the lawsuit as follows:
If you know anything about the documents uncovered in the Big Tobacco lawsuit, you will know that the answer to the above question is undeniably Yes!

Donald Trump Is at Risk of Getting Named in a Fossil Fuels Conspiracy Lawsuit

According to reporting at the New York Times, on April 11 Donald Trump hosted oil executives and their lobbyists to a dinner at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida and requested a quid-pro-quo. If they donated $1 billion to his campaign for president, "he would roll back environmental rules that he said hampered their industry…."
Among attendees at the event, according to The Times, were executives from ExxonMobil, EQT Corporation and the American Petroleum Institute, which lobbies for the oil industry.

In a statement, Attorney General Frey explained the rationale of the lawsuit as follows:
"The State seeks to hold the Defendants accountable for failing to warn Mainers and concealing their knowledge about the devastating consequences of the increasing use of fossil fuels on Maine's people, economy, and environment. This conduct has resulted in enormous financial burdens, public health impacts, property damage and other harms across Maine as a result of extreme weather, sea-level rise, and warmer temperatures. The complaint alleges that the Defendants knew about the potentially catastrophic consequences an increasing use of fossil fuels would cause as early as the 1960s, and the industry's internal analysis proved remarkably accurate. But rather than warn the public of these consequences, the Defendants protected their own assets from climate change impacts and deployed strategic public relations campaigns designed to discredit the scientific consensus on climate change, create doubt in the minds of the public about the climate change impacts of burning fossil fuels, and delay the energy economy’s transition to a lower-carbon future, all while maximizing their own profits."Would publicly-traded companies like these, with Boards of Directors and General Counsels, actually endanger the planet and the lives of millions of families and children – to maximize profit?

Check this idiot out at the COP29 conference in Baku holding the placard that reads "NO MORE FOSSILS":
When time is spent reading through some of the useful articles at OilPrice readers will be able to get a better idea of the massive size of the oil and gas industry and the ongoing deals that are being cut all around the world despite the "climate change" scam accusations against energy production and usage:
What can be said about John Kerry? He is just about as credible as Al Gore is on "climate change" meaning they have zero credibility:

Then there is hydrogen with another reference to "fossil fuel":
1000 years of hydrogen reserves discovered in earth's crust
November 27, 2024 | By Jim Stone journalist
Enough to power everything on earth a thousand years with more being made constantly. 20 percent of global reserves are in the Northwestern United States
This is important because it can just be extracted and used like oil. There is no electrolysis or energy input needed whatsoever, just drill and take it. And it is only 10 - 20 miles down. That's quite a ways, but it is definitely achievable. Obviously no pumping needed, just drill and put a tap on it.
I am actually pro oil and fossil fuel, because a lot of the bumper crops of food we are getting now are only possible due to the fact that the industrial revolution put enough carbon dioxide into the air to help plants grow a lot quicker. The earth was, in reality, heading towards a huge die off just because the carbon dioxide was at very low levels at the start of the industrial revolution. That's not something to worry about anymore though. A positive.
If you look at the cross section of super old trees that were alive before the industrial revolution and then cut recently, you can clearly see the rings getting bigger and bigger throughout the life of the tree. And if you cut a young tree now, the rings at the center are large. They don't start out nearly microscopic and then get big, they start big and stay the same all through the tree. In my opinion, that's a very good thing.
Bet on this: If that hydrogen does get tapped, stupored down kids in future education will be fooled into believing using that hydrogen will destroy the world, the end goal of the entire climate scam is to shut technology down and return everything to the dark ages. The dark days, where an overlord or superior tribe could own and control everything without ever facing any threat. "They" don't care about tech, they can just have 500 slaves hand them luxury in a system they own, they don't want machines handing everyone luxury. They hate that because it prevents them from being "superior" enough.
