We're thankful for Jamie Raskin's leadership, but #BigOil won't be held responsible for their egregious anti- #climate activity, unless Dems win a majority in the HSE, & hold the Sen. & presidency:
The top Dem lawmaker on the House oversight panel has sought information from nine oil companies about a media report about "quid pro quo propositions" made by Trump. In letters to CEOs of companies including: Exxon, Chevron & Chesapeake.
If #TFG wins & Rs take the House & Senate, the demise of the planet may be imminent:
TFG made his own indecent proposal to the barons of #BigOil who dined with him at MAL. The presumptive GOP pres. nominee told the energy moguls that he’s willing to get in bed with them & satisfy their wildest fantasies of crushing regs, undoing the war on #climatechange, & cutting their taxes -more.
"ChatGPT consumes a lot of energy in the process, up to 25 times more than a Google search. Additionally, a lot of water is also used in cooling for the servers that run all that software. Per conversation of about 20 to 50 queries, half a litre of water evaporates – a small bottle, in other words."
AI is predicted to consume twice as much energy as the whole of France by 2030

"The U.S. oil industry is drawing up ready-to-sign executive orders for Donald Trump aimed at pushing natural gas exports, cutting drilling costs and increasing offshore oil leases in case he wins a second term."
Biden is far, far from perfect. But he has done a remarkable job on the #ClimateChange front, all of which gets dismantled if Trump is elected.

MSM isn't sounding the alarm about the dangerous consequences of #climatechange. The "truth is so obscure in these times, we cannot know it', bc the #BigOil lobby is powerful & well funded.

Exxon is set to close its $60B deal for Pioneer following an agreement with #antitrust enforcers not to add fmr Pioneer Chief Exec Sheffield to its BOD.

On the other hand, it is clearly the greed of plutocrats, be it in the form of feudal lords, multinationals (#BigOil, #BigTech, ...-》 #Technofeudalism) that has brought human society to the brink of extinction and caused mass-extinction for thousands of species that were intrusted to us, at least if you belong to any religion having originated in the Middle East.
