1. Is that the new "let 'em eat cake"?

5. HOF material

16. I believe it is.

Let his grandchildren die a horrible death or possibly even his children.

2. When hydrogen is burned it makes water and energy which is good but in the way we produce ...

... hydrogen now with the use of natural gas a lot of CO2 is produced too. This jerk likes H2 as an energy
source because then Chevron will produces it, store it, and then sell it back to you. Wind and solar energy
can be made directly @ a home or business or a school and that is why people like Mr. Wirth are giving
Manchin and Sinema millions of $s to stop Joe's infrastructure plan which pushes clean and green energy
and energy technology.

4. Great post!

With wind and solar, companies like Chevron don't get to be the middleman.

And they don't get to dictate what their cut will be or set the prices in the energy market.

As usual with these people, $$$ is more important than the environment or long term effects of energy usage.

6. "As usual with these people, $$$ is more important than the environment or long term effects ...

... of energy usage." aka I have to protect our share holders investment.

I do have a question about building electric car charging stations because I think in the long run
people will be plugging their cars into their homes or work places that have solar panels or wind
power.

8. If they can come up with a cost-effective way to charge a vehicle

from a device that can store solar or wind power, sales of these vehicles would increase greatly. I would be on board with going electric if this happens.

10. America and the world lost so much when Reagan took down the primitive solar panels from the ....

.... White House roof in 1981 and again when the Supreme Court stopped the counting of the
legal ballots in Florida and installed w bush as POTUS instead of the real winner Al Gore. A
President Gore would have made green energy as the center piece of his administration. Can
you imagine if we had been working on clean and renewable energy for the past 40 years where
we would be at now and how many billion of tons of carbon would not have been dumped into the
atmosphere?

12. Some comedian once said,

"When they figure out how to put a meter on the sun, we'll have solar everything by midnight!"

14. I think it was in Arizona in 2016 the republicans in the state legislature and the governor ...

... laws that made it all but economically impossible for home owners to just produce electricity
from solar power @ their own homes. No monthly electric bill, clean energy, and the excess
power could either be stored in batteries or put back onto the power grid.

3. No doubt he's a freaking Republican

Poor sick Republican wankerboys will allow their ego, greed, arrogance, and ignorance to take all of us down the firey planetary craphole with them.

7. I would prefer that corporations stop all political donations and dividend

that back to the shareholders. But not going to happen, because guys like Mike love giving away shareholders' money to people that shareholders would not.

9. Jim Cramer was paid to tee that up... Or....

He's a horrible person.

He's tended not to be the worst person on wall Street in the past, so I didn't expect him to be the origin of this idea in this interview.

11. I wonder if he has grandchildren?

If he does, there will come a day when they will wish that grandpa had looked seven generations ahead instead of just one quarter.

[hatrack]

13. Nah, he'll just use his last breath to say "Technology!!!" and will then die contented and very rich

See? Wasn't that easy?!?

15. revoke the corporate charters

Seriously... perhaps "corporations are people, too" but this is a case where the death penalty for fictive "persons" is appropriate, when they are hitting the accelerator on climate destruction. There is no societal good it allowing psychopathic fictive persons destroy the conditions of life as we know it!
