      200,000+ Urge DOE to 'Do the Right Thing' and Block LNG Buildout

      One project in particular, the CP2 export terminal, "would be the most harmful facility built in the United States," one frontline activist said as campaigners delivered petition signatures.

      Climate and environmental justice campaigners on Thursday delivered more than 200,000 petition signatures calling on the Biden administration to reject the Calcasieu Pass 2, or CP2, liquefied natural gas export facility as well as all other planned LNG infrastructure.

      Environmental advocates and progressive lawmakers have been increasingly raising the alarm about CP2 and the broader expansion in LNG exports, pointing out that they put both the U.S. climate goals and frontline Gulf Coast communities at risk. CP2, for example, would emit 20 times as many greenhouse gases as the controversial Willow oil drilling project in Alaska.

      Big Oil's Big Lies Are Catching Up With Them

      The American public believes fossil fuel companies should pay for their deceit. Our job is to make sure they do.

      For decades, the fossil fuel industry has misled the public about the climate impacts of its products. Internal documents prove companies like Exxon knew since the 1970s that burning oil and gas drives catastrophic global warming. Yet rather than warn society, they denied the science and obstructed climate action at every turn.

      This corporate deception continues today, but the public is catching on in a big way. New polling from Data for Progress reveals 70% of Americans support making Big Oil pay for the climate damages their products have caused. With climate disasters growing in frequency and severity, people are fed up footing the bill for Big Oil's greed.

      "These Big Oil Frankensteins are a direct threat to our climate, democracy, and economy," said one climate campaigner.

      Chevron said Monday that it has reached a deal to acquire rival oil producer Hess Corporation for $53 billion in stock, the second major fossil fuel merger announced this month following a record-hot September.

      Chevron is currently the second-largest oil and gas producer in the United States, and the Hess purchase is expected to boost the company's output by 10% overall. Chevron said in a statement that its drilling operations in the Permian Basin, a massive carbon bomb in the U.S. Southwest, will benefit from the acquisition.
