I do understand getting upset about the high profits of the oil companies. It is in fact very upsetting!
Never know for sure what you read online, but for what it’s worth, a page I follow just posted this:
Exxon and Chevron have announced staggering Q3 profits.
Exxon: $9.1 billion profit
Chevron: $5.7 billion profit
Fellow environmentalists naturally want to think that Big Oil is the root of all evil.
And yet … people keep driving and driving and driving.
Of course, it would help if our society would invest more in bus system & passenger rail.
And, it would help if citizens and local governments would push back harder against sprawl residential development. And push in favor of infill commercial development of grocery stores and other essential shops that would help communities become more walkable again.
