Sheffield used campaign contributions in DC/TX to amass influence on oil & gas policy, until now. Price-fixing scheme: contributed to: effects of gas price inflation in the US -potentially accounted for upwards of 27% of price⬆️in 2022. Excess profits accrued by the IDU: 2021-22 reached a record high of $205B -might've cost every American consumer $2,100. FTC could push for a criminal case agst. him for #collusion.
Investigation: BP’s (efforts to “confidently & conspicuously” wage campaigns of climate disinfo. aimed to protect their brand & their mission to extract oil & gas indefinitely. HSE CMTE's docs implicates Princeton’s Carbon Mitigation Initiative (CMI).
BP’s relationship w CMI: >20 yrs. Senate report: might be the most powerful signal yet that universities have to sever ties with oil cos.🚨We're being used on a large scale.
@KimPerales
To-Do list:
1.Build a small Princeton effigy
2. Put it outside
3. Spit on it daily in remembrance of Princeton's treachery.
The EU has set a carbon import tax due to take effect soon. Carbon tax advocate Sheldon Whitehouse has noted that this forces the hand of US manufacturers, who'll either pay a domestic carbon tax or a foreign carbon tax on exports. Taxes--carbon taxing, plastics taxing, pollution taxing--look like the best approach we've got for now
@KimPerales #collusion has long been a tectic of the oil barons in their fight against any meaningful alternative energy inventions, and keeping meaningful climate action from happening.
