https://newrepublic.com/article/164641/conservatives-new-bogeyman-critical-energy-theory
This morning at the ALEC Committee meetings, Jason Isaac, director of the Koch-funded Texas Public Policy Foundation, wrote last Friday morning, youll have the opportunity to push back against woke financial institutions that are colluding against American energy producers. The emailobtained by the Center for Media and Democracy, and first reported by CMD investigative journalist Alex Kotchoffers a window into a rapidly congealing strategy among Republican state-level officials: declaring war on critical energy theory within the financial sector. --- kin to all that throbs ...

so all we have to do to trigger the right is call things "Critical [thing they hold evil views about] Theory"?Well, they're going to pass laws on that basis, so it's kind of our problem, not theirs. --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

directs states to compile a list of entities that are supposedly boycotting fossil fuel companies, explicitly citing banks that are increasingly denying financing to creditworthy fossil energy companies solely for the purpose of decarbonizing their lending portfolios and marketing their environmental credentials; institutional investors that are divesting from fossil energy companies and pressuring corporations to commit to the goal of the Paris Agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2050; and large investments that are colluding to force energy companies to cannibalize their existing businesses. let me get this straight. these people are angry that the free market is going against their wishes, so now they're calling for government regulation? aren't these the same folks who bitch and moan and scream about regulation while demanding a completely open and free market? --- {;(~) otherwise known as Giant_Aspirin ...

They should have described it as "Denying legitimate businesses financing increases energy costs, gas prices, heating and electric bills across the board. This disproportionately impacts people of color in the low and middle class and is institutional racism."

If you think those impacts are larger than that of the air pollution and climate change caused by fossil fuel infrastructure, you've been sorely misled. This does nothing to curb fossil fuel demand. The US infrastructure is heavily regulated and low emission. Shutting this down and getting more fossil fuels from countries with no regulations in OPEC will increase air pollution and climate change. --- Hello world! ... Copied to Clipboard!
