The Oil Oligarch Who Wants to Take Us Back to the 1990s. Harold Hamm has taken his fight against renewables national — and made a project out of influencing Trump. They are shaping a policy of fossil fuels above all else that would benefit Mr. Hamm and other domestic oil producers.

  2. Jesus Christ. America could be the most powerful nation for the next 100 years if they even directed just 10% of their efforts towards the betterment of humanity instead of 100% trying to fuck us all 100% of the time.

  3. Read this article the other day. As I was reading I just couldn’t help but think of the song twist of the knife by the fabulous thunderbirds.

  4. The silver lining would be for big oil to invest heavily in their sucking equipment, only to have the rug pulled out from under them by the next administration. Bankruptcy would be their just desserts. But that requires us to vote out the corrupt oligarchs.

  5. I can’t wait for these people to be on their deathbed and realize that there is no Paradise for them to get into. We will all become dust

  6. Wait, you mean kaznov’s in it for the money? Well that’s surprising.

  7. Would be ironic if we were to begin treating fossil fuel like tobacco products and punish the manufacturers for all of the resulting injuries based upon a history of lying to consumers.

  8. Drill baby drill! I love it. Bring those energy costs down.

  9. So this is the new target Just Stop Oil we’re going to focus on?

  10. Hamm is going to be pissed when trump lifts the sanctions on daddy Putin.

  12. Wait until some geniuses start calculating the extra carbon emissions incorporated in the extended output. New and grounded tariffs format worldwide imposed.

    The extra emissions exhausted by the new US emprors production scheme is going to be taxed because it’s money gained on the back of the rest of the world who make real reduction efforts.
    Unfair US vs. Global competition

    Let’s start calculating the extra emissions by this deminishing legislation so you know what kind of bill is upcoming.

    Young people care about their only home, and they rule tomorrow.

  13. Something like 96% of all new power generation last year was green energy. We will not be going back anytime soon when new tech just keeps getting cheaper to operate.

  14. Hamm just made a JV deal in Turkey. He knows US oil won’t go forever.
