✅ Massive profits from the war on Iran while ordinary people pay more at the pump.
✅ Record lobbying spending.
✅ Convince #CA leaders to gut cap-and-invest and kill affordability and transparency legislation.
This isn't a coincidence. It's Big Oil's business model.
✨️ NEW from @grist: Cap and Invest, California's signature climate program, has been a major target of Big Oil's spending spree to block climate legislation. How? Read here:

When a refinery closes, communities nearby – like Benicia – are left in the dark about what comes next. #SB1259 would give communities like Benicia vital information about cleanup costs and timelines. Find out more at RefineryTransparency.org.
When Big Oil cuts corners and refuses health and safety demands from their workers, it puts all of us at risk. bayareacurrent.com/martinez-…

✨ New: @Apen4ej report estimates cleanup costs at the Phillips 66 refinery in Carson are about $910 million — with no clear plan for who will pay. Taxpayers and nearby communities shouldn't have to foot the bill for Big Oil's mess. More: buff.ly/Efe8OVI

Urge your assemblymember to support #SB1259 for increased transparency around refinery closure costs in CA: buff.ly/P5ihnOg
@SenBlakespear
Just dropped: Our new report estimates cleanup of the former Phillips 66 Carson refinery could cost up to *$910 million.* With no clear plan to cover the full cost, Carson residents could be left wondering who will pay for decades of remediation.

1/x We’re tuning in to California’s @AirResources hearing. Today, Newsom’s air regulators are considering rushed changes to the Cap-and-Invest system that would divert BILLIONS from housing, transit, clean water— and send it straight to Big Oil ☠️
47/ However, it’s not enough to stop the proposal. The board votes to move forward the proposed changes with 3 board members dissenting.
Let’s be clear: @CAgovernor's air regulators voted to cut billions from housing, transit, and climate and hand it to Big Oil. A betrayal.
After 8 hours of comments against the proposal, and with massive questions left unanswered, @AirResources ignored the public and voted yes.
This isn't over. We're going to keep fighting 🔥 Thank you to everyone who joined us in fighting back against this handout to Big Oil.
