The Oil Companies Have Our Backs, Don’t They?
The oil companies would like you to believe that they have your best interests at heart.
You may have heard, for instance, that ExxonMobil is working on algae-based biofuels and developing the separators for the lithium-ion batteries that are the heart of our electric vehicles.

Mitigating Climate Change Requires Your Involvement
It’s not an unattainable wish to believe that someday, a responsible government acting in concert with the will of the people will take definitive actions to accelerate the transition to clean energy, perhaps via the Carbon Fee and Dividend that we’ve discussed so frequently here.
