Idiot city councils here keep trying to make all new buildings be 100% electric AND renovations the same... some are even trying to force the change before a home can be sold... all of CA is 2% of the total global warming so why should some cities pay 10x more for heating and cooling that some cities in other states still using coal? Then the old guy in the big white house wants to make even more competition for rare earth elements and "clean power" to charge the EVs that need batteries and magnets for their powerful motors. 🔥⚛Don't turn off all your Nuks and NG power plants just yet.... unless you like it dark and expensive! 📈💲🎈🚀Tech industry braces for skyrocketing rare earth prices https://t.co/aLCuYDayPK — Kirk Lindstrom (@KirkLindstrom) September 15, 2021

This country is in trouble... but you know that given your NG investments. I said on FB/CNBC group that Biden was clucking flueless to blame the Russians and OPEC for higher oil prices when he's the one who killed the Keystone Pipeline and banned fracking. I even prefaced it by saying I was not a Trump follower.... Yet some idiot called me a Trumper with a whole rant about that AND said fracking has nothing to do with oil, just NG! I replied I normally don't waste time arguing with morons, but.... it was too easy then gave a link showing how much oil the US gets from fracking and a page from the EIA eia.gov Are the far left too young to remember the cries of "peak oil" before fracking? Is the far left in complete denial that the way to get the US to use electric cars is to change the calculus so they are more affordable than ICE cars? Idiots don't understand that the quickest way to change that calculation is to raise the price of gasoline! IT is the whole idea behind a carbon tax and a big reason Russia, China and India don't want any part of our "climate agreements." I had something next about the education out of top colleges has changed so they can't do simple logic but they sure can blame it on race, assigned sex and other things rather than the truth is they've been brainwashed. I had to tone it down a bit as you never know what you say today can come back in 20 years...

This is not a big surprise... It could change if someday we replace part of Social Security with investments in stock funds where shareholders could pressure fund managers to vote for these proposals. Exxon, Chevron shareholders soundly reject climate proposals May 31, 2023 2:53 PM ET By Carl Surran, SA News Editor Shareholders at Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and Chevron (CVX) voted Wednesday to support their companies' views on climate reports and strategies, easily rejecting proposals for reports on methane, greenhouse gas and preparation for oil spills. According to preliminary results, none of the measures from either company secured more than the 36% support for a proposal to strengthen Exxon's (XOM) methane gas reporting; a similar methane gas request won 51% of votes last year. Climate activist Follow This had backed resolutions that would have pushed the companies to lower their Scope 3 emissions from the gasoline they sell and other indirect sources, but only 11% of Exxon (XOM) shareholders and 10% of Chevron (CVX) shareholders voted in favor of setting medium-term Scope 3 GHG emission reduction targets. Exxon (XOM) shareholders soundly defeated a proposed disclosure on a worst-case scenario oil-spill response plan for the company's fast-growing Guyana operations, with only 13% voting for it. seekingalpha.com
