Biden & Green Groups Want to Destroy Fossil Fuels, Starting with Exxon

Joe Biden and his cabal, as part of their intense efforts to destroy fossil fuels, are discouraging corporations and governments from investing in fossil fuels. He’s directing them towards near-useless alternative energy. That could be why the WSJ is hearing that Exxon is beginning to cut back development under pressure from environmental groups.

THE STORY

According to The Wall Street Journal, the Exxon Mobil Corp. board members are considering cutting large oil and gas projects that the company already planned for around the world.

The projects included a $30 billion natural gas project in Mozambique and another multibillion-dollar gas project in Vietnam, people familiar with the internal deliberations told the WSJ.

The discussions have reportedly been prompted by an increasingly anti-fossil fuel political climate and pressure from environmentalists who argued that such projects would worsen climate change, putting future generations at risk.

While Exxon is reviewing the Mozambique and Vietnam development projects, it remained unclear as of Wednesday whether the company would ultimately cancel them, the WSJ reported.

The closed-door deliberations are part of the company’s five-year spending plan that will be formalized within weeks.

EXXON PUSHES BACK

Exxon, though, pushed back on the WSJ report Wednesday.

“Any depiction of the board’s discussions as being less than constructive in tone or substance is wrong,” Exxon spokesperson Casey Norton told the WSJ.

The company’s review will involve an analysis of each project’s emissions figures in order to confirm that the projects don’t stop Exxon from maintaining or reaching its recently-established reductions goals, according to the WSJ.

“We respect and support society’s ambition to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, and continue to advocate for policies that promote cost-effective, market-based solutions to address the risks of climate change,” Exxon Chairman and Chief Executive Darren Woods said in a December 2020 statement.

Exxon set out to cut upstream emissions by 15-20%, methane intensity by 40-50%, and flaring intensity by 35-45% by 2025, Woods announced. The company has also recently considered making a net-zero pledge due to pressure from investors, the WSJ reported in August.

Oil and gas companies, which continue to play a central role in energy production worldwide, have been under enormous pressure to cut emissions in recent years. World leaders are expected to outline aggressive policies for further emissions reductions during an upcoming United Nations conference.

Going after fossil fuels will be the undoing of the Democrat Partly and the whole Globalist movement. People are not going to put up with high fuel cost for long. With the increased cost, people will be freezing this winter and that will lead to Traitor Joe’s removal from office in a last ditch attempt to save themselves in the 2022 elections. It will be too little, too late.

Fossil Fuel is not going to put future generations at risk, massive poverty due to a lack of energy will. Net-zero emissions by 2050 can only be accomplish by Nuclear Fusion and without a 1960’s go to the moon sized project it probably won’t happen. If the Congress was really interested in infrastructure they would be talking 2 Trillion over 20 years to develop Nuclear Fusion.
