It’s not just ExxonMobil that came out swinging after President Biden accused oil company executives of profiteering off the high gas prices and refusing to restore refining capacity that was reduced at the outset of the pandemic. Mike Wirth, the CEO of Chevron, responded to the president’s June 14th letter, pointing out the company produced the greatest volume of oil and gas in its history last year and has invested heavily in clean technologies. But he was also frank about the White House’s attitude and policies toward the industry.
“I want to be clear that Chevron shares your concerns over the higher prices that Americans are experiencing,” Wirth wrote. “And I assure you that Chevron is doing its part to help address these challenges by increasing capital expenditures to $18 billion in 2022, more than 50% higher than last year.
“Chevron and its 37,000 employees work every day to help provide the world with the energy it demands and to lift up the lives of billions of people who rely on these supplies,” he continued. “Notwithstanding these efforts, your Administration has largely sought to criticize, and at times vilify, our industry. These actions are not beneficial to meeting the challenges we face and are not what the American people deserve.”

Biden sows dissent and disruption like a reverse
Johnny Appleseed.
The suggestion of Biden mocking anything is goofy. The creep is himself a mere mockery.
This is exactly the fight the idiot in the WH wants. This distracts and fools people into thinking the oil companies are the ones driving up prices. Distract, distract, distract.
This administration sucks beyond belief.
“When you have no argument always be an @ss.”
That is Biden’s motto.
The longer this demented criminal fraud Biden serves, the more appropriate it is to see him severely punished for his crimes before he dies.
Brandon is so original. It’s not like Democrats have never attacked the petroleum industry in the past. (Sarc) Big Oil does deserve criticism. Why do they waste, time, money and resources on green energy? Does that increase overhead and contribute to higher prices? Only scientific and economic morons pursue green energy solutions that have zero promise of being as efficient as petroleum based solutions. Big Oil has gone woke.
Big oil is being legislated out of business and forced to go woke. They contribute, but much of this is forced upon the industry. CAFE standards enacted in 1975 started this.
Big Oil is just paying the DaneGeld to the left!
By doing so, their corporate PR advisors think they’re buy relief. They’re not they’re just looking weak and emboldening the left!
FJB continues to be the suckiest President in U.S. history.
VDH says Biden has always been a Nasty venial lying man.
True
The next thing you know that oil company exec will be visited by the Jack boots at 4am and charged with some phony impropriety.
Does the article ever say what president stink finger said in the mocking.?
Biden is a bully D@#$ and always has been.
Big Oil is also being pressured by investors. Nobody in their right mind would think this green dream is better than oil, gas, coal and nuclear. It is a scam and a religion.
True! Yet he’s also stupid and has no real life skills or experience. He may think the oil company execs can just wiggle their noses, or cross their arms and nod their heads, or maybe wave their magic wands, and Bingo! they are pumping and refining more oil.
Snide and snarky take the place of reasoned statements by nitwits like this guy. He needs their cooperation and solicits it by attacking and ridiculing. Honestly these people in this administration are hopeless.
