Our worst nightmares have come true. These monsters are real.
________________________________
At a dinner for Big Oil executives last year, Donald Trump promised to give the fossil fuel industry anything it wanted in exchange for $1 billion toward his re-election effort. The dinner was organized by Harold Hamm.
The fossil fuel industry went on to donate $96 million directly to Trumpās campaign; spend $80 million on political advertising; and pour God-knows-how-much cash into dark money groups that donāt have to reveal their donors. Most of the fundraisers were organized by Harold Hamm.
After the election, Trump quickly nominated North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum to lead the Department of Interior, which oversees fossil fuel development on federal lands and waters. Burgum is close personal friends with Harold Hamm.
Trump went on to nominate fracking executive and climate denier Chris Wright to lead the Department of Energy, which oversees energy policy and research. Wright was hand-selected for the position by Harold Hamm.
While most national media has understandably fixated on Elon Muskās takeover of the federal bureaucracy, another billionaireās influence on the Trump administration has slid by largely unnoticed. Hamm, the founder and executive chairman of fracking company Continental Resources, has been instrumental in driving Trumpās full-speed campaign to deregulate the fossil fuel industry.

in reply to Bread and Circuses • • •All subsidies and tax exemptions etc to the fossil fuel must end completely. Everything is basically just funding people seeking to end democracy along with ending the habitability of planet Earth.
