It’s an old ploy, beat the stocks down then accumulate for the inevitable rise fueled by the “new” policies which then support the industry. Lots of insiders will make tons of money. Washington is the world capital of hypocrisy and corruption.
I love fossil fuels. God put them there for us to enjoy.
BS
How quickly the Left forgets. Remember the rolling brown outs in CA a number of years ago? How about the electric shortages in north-TX during the winter two years ago when the wind generators failed to keep up with demand? The so-called Green Energy (mostly wind and solar) is a myth until there is a viable means of storing that energy. The EV industry is headed for the dumper, too. Imagine what’s in store for CA when their “no distillate fuel vehicles” law takes affect. Given that protests have prevented new power plant construction in CA for decades, what do they think is going the power their cars and trucks?
The long run planning horizon for the Left and most politicians is their term of office.
Coal is the only fossil fuel.
The same demagoguery is being used against plastics. Instead of banning plastic grocery bags, the manufacturers should support a ban on all plastics in states which pick on a few examples. No paint, no condoms, no rubber gloves, no rubber at all, would wake people up.
Of course this would be impossible as the world is too interconnected; just as fossil fuels can’t be selectively but totally removed.
Methane as an aside, is not from fossils, as the solar system has oceans of methane throughout.
“There is no reasoning with them.”
Hence my tagline.

Fossil Fuels liberated the world and allowed the world to be occupied in most places. It is true that they allowed the whole world to grow its population and feed most of it. Without them, the world would shrink to the 300 million people that the elitists want.
They hate Capitalism and America. The energy industry is the heart of those hatreds.
I see hatred of fossil fuels as a derivative hatred of free enterprise capitalism and personal liberty.
How dare you become wealthy and make all your own personal decisions!
It's anti-capitalism and anti-Freedom
Mass psychosis!
Once we are off gas, they control the electricity for cars, stoves, air conditioners and can make us suffer to their whim. We will be stuck where we are and will have no refrigeration for food and no luxuries we and our ancestors have worked hard for.
Gas isn’t a ‘fossil fuel’ and we aren’t burning dinosaurs in out tanks. It is a naturally renewable energy - how many fuel fields have been found in the past several decades that are purported to be the largest ever found? I recall hearing of several that would serve us for at least a century.
Among other things, I thought the hatred of fossil fuels simply came down to the oil industry primarily supporting the Republican party. Which is why the Democrats are pushing so hard for ‘green’ energy to take over, since they’d be in charge of the whole enchilada.
Just like with the border, if most people pouring across were going to vote Republican, the Dems would be the first ones screaming for a militarized border wall.
Stop using the leftist phrase “fossil fuel.”
I remember the 1970s and the anti-war movement “HELL NO WE WON’T GO! WE WON’T GO FOR TEXACO!”
Movies, like King Kong(1976) portrayed the oil industry as the villain in everything.
Then came the Arab Oil Embargo and soon the rhetoric changed...”NUKE THEIR AS$ AND TAKE THEIR GAS!”
The Alaska Pipeline, stopped by the anti oil people, was declared now to be permanently shut down. One person said it would never be finished.
I said it would be rushed through if there is ever an oil shortage. After the Arab Oil Embargo, work suddenly started on it again and it was finished.
The recent shutdown of the Keystone Pipeline is a modern scam. Sacred Indian Burial Grounds was one of the excuses used for decades. Yet other reservations in Oklahoma and New Mexico have hundreds of pipelines crossing them.
When Keystone ceased work, Canadian Pacific bought out Kansas City Southern and suddenly very long trains of Petroleum tank cars now constantly pass my house going to refineries in Texas. Some of Biden;s cronies are getting rich off the Keystone shutdown.
Promotion of abortion, support of gays, forced recycling, vegetarianism, climate change propaganda and the push for electric cars and renewable energy are all related.
They are all attempts by the left to address the population bomb issue they latched onto in the 1970’s. Basically, the human population is growing exponentially, but resources are finite. And what can we do about it before we reach a crisis point? All of the above are various ways of attempting to solve the issue. Along with supporting illegal immigration, because once their policies started to bring down the birth rate they had to solve the economic issues a declining population caused by importing working age people to continue economic growth which would have went negative naturally with a declining population.
Fossil fuel is only ancient sunlight that fell on ancient trees, photosynthesis that caused plants to grow, then the leaves fell into a swamp for thousands of years where they were covered and compressed forming carbon beds.
So every time you turn on a light in your house you are getting the benefit of ancient sunlight. Nothing wrong with that.
Obama's first science adviser wanted gas at $8 per gallon. That would have crushed the economy. Many people couldn't afford $4 to $5 gas back then..
Oil is abiotic. No such thing as fossil fuel.
