    If “them” was Chevron, BP, Enron, Shell, Sunoco, Texaco, Imperial, Suncor, and other fossil fuel companies instead of governmen

    It’s both…

    The reason we keep breaking fossil fuel production records is because politicians from both parties want fossil fuel money.

    Not just in donations, but to prop up “the economy”.

    Biden doesn’t like to talk about the oil boom he’s overseeing; in fact, when he talks about America’s oil industry, it’s typically been negative. He is, after all, relying on a base of Democratic voters who are passionate about climate to win reelection this year. In a December CNN poll, almost two-thirds of US adults said they were worried about the threat of climate change in their communities.

    It pisses off lifelong Dem voters…

    But apparently he’s more concerned about republican talking points like “gas is expensive” even tho republican talking points are rarely based in reality.
