No surprise...!

Oil and gas lobbying reaches $72 million in first half of 2024

By Molly Taylor
August 15, 2024

"The American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers led the oil and gas industry in federal lobbying expenditures in the first half of 2024, marking the first time the trade association outspent the top individual companies in the industry.

"The trade association, which represents 450 fuel refining and petrochemical companies, leads the oil and gas industry with $8.1 million in federal lobbying expenditures over the first half of 2024. This level of spending marks a shift in influence, as individual oil and gas companies have typically outspent the trade association by millions of dollars.

"The oil and gas industry altogether spent $72 million on federal lobbying in the first six months of 2024 as the #EPA introduced some of its strongest-ever regulations to reduce #FossilFuel emissions. The industry is on track to exceed last year’s expenditures, which totaled $137 million after adjustment for inflation, and is the fifth-highest lobbying industry of the year.

"The American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers emerged as the top spender after doubling its federal lobbying expenditures from 2022. Between 2016 and 2022, the trade organization spent, on average, $3.4 million annually without adjusting for inflation. In 2023, spending jumped to $6.9 million in 2023.

"In the first six months of 2024, the American Fuel and #Petrochemical
Manufacturers has already spent more on federal lobbying than any prior year."

Tribes Sue Six Oil Giants for #ClimateDeception

"These oil companies knew their products were dangerous, yet they did nothing to mitigate those dangers or warn any of us about them, for decades," said the chairwoman of the #ShoalwaterBay Indian Tribe.

"Two Indigenous tribes in #WashingtonState said Wednesday that they intend to force several oil giants 'to help pay for the high costs of surviving the catastrophe caused by the #ClimateCrisis,' as they filed lawsuits in the state's largest trial court.

"The #Makah Indian Tribe and Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe filed two separate complaints in King County Superior Court against #ExxonMobil, #Shell, #Chevron, #BP, #ConocoPhillips, and #Phillips66, saying the defendants must be held 'accountable for their deceptive and unfair conduct, and pay for the damage their deceptive conduct has caused and will cause for decades to come.'

"The lawsuits—among dozens filed against #BigOil since 2017—detail the extent to which the companies have long known that their fossil fuel extraction would drive planetary heating and the resulting #SeaLevelRise, #ExtremeWeather, #PublicHealth crises, and other impacts of the climate crisis, which now costs the U.S. roughly $150 billion per year just in damages from #hurricanes and other weather disasters.

"'We are seeing the effects of the climate crisis on our people, our land, and our resources. The costs and consequences to us are overwhelming,' said Timothy Greene Sr., chairman of the Makah Tribal Council. 'We intend to hold these companies accountable for hiding the truth about climate change and the effects of burning fossil fuels.'"
