Podcasts about ConocoPhillips

This week on The Necessary Conversation, we cover one of the most disturbing weeks yet — from the killing of a U.S. citizen by an ICE agent in Minnesota, to mass protests and bloodshed in Iran, to Trump openly floating military action against Greenland and claiming that the only thing that can stop him is his own mind.Are we watching the normalization of authoritarian power in real time?

Never has so much been misunderstood by so many. In this episode, we break down what President Trump is actually doing in Venezuela—and why claims of “war” completely miss the point. From legally enforced sanctions and naval blockades to collapsing Venezuelan oil production and China's growing energy crisis, this may be one of the most consequential geopolitical maneuvers of our lifetime. This isn't regime change by bombs. It's power through courts, sanctions, energy leverage, and economic reality—executed entirely within the law. Is Trump building his own version of OPEC? Is China being economically cornered? And why does Venezuela suddenly have no choice but to comply? This is next-level strategy—and almost nobody is explaining it correctly.

And like most things involving the president, the moves aren't without their critics — including some you might not normally expect pushback from. Trump's rapid response team highlighted the two vetoes: https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2006153283996381333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2006153283996381333%7Ctwgr%5E79e6ef2350ae826bc802e9e5d82d5c97bad630de%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2026%2F01%2Fpresident-trump-issues-first-vetoes-second-term%2F The “Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act” is a bill aimed at expanding the land set aside for the Miccosukee Tribe inside Everglades National Park by officially including a section known as Osceola Camp. Trump had a couple of issues with this. The residential community in that area “was constructed in 1935, without authorization, in a low area that was raised with fill material,” Trump's explanation read. “None of the current structures in the Osceola Camp are over 50 years old, nor do they meet the other criteria to be considered for listing in the National Register of Historic Places,” Trump wrote to the House. He added that, “the Miccosukee Tribe has actively sought to obstruct reasonable immigration policies that the American people decisively voted for when I was elected.” That appears to be a direct reference to the tribe's publicized opposition — including a lawsuit against the Trump administration — to the “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in Florida, as noted by The Associated Press. The “Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act,” meanwhile, is a bill designed to make it easier for rural Colorado communities to complete a long‑planned water pipeline project that will facilitate drinking water to people in the Arkansas River Valley. Trump appeared to take specific issue with the price tag and repayment plans for this project. “It was originally authorized … in a bill signed by President Kennedy in 1962,” Trump said. “For decades it was unbuilt, largely because the AVC was economically unviable.” “More than $249 million has already been spent on the AVC, and total costs are estimated to be $1.3 billion,” Trump wrote. “H.R. 131 would continue the failed policies of the past by forcing Federal taxpayers to bear even more of the massive costs of a local water project — a local water project that, as initially conceived, was supposed to be paid for by the localities using it. “Enough is enough. My administration is committed to preventing American taxpayers from funding expensive and unreliable policies. Ending the massive cost of taxpayer handouts and restoring fiscal sanity is vital to economic growth and the fiscal health of the Nation.” The bill was backed and pushed by Colorado GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert — normally a staunch supporter of Trump's — who seemed incensed with the president's veto and vowed that “this isn't over.” Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/EagleEdMartin/status/2006700820432130068?s=20  to believe that these Democrat Mayors and Governors, all of whom are greatly incompetent, would want us to leave, especially considering the great progress that has been made???

California is about to lose 22% of its gasoline production when Valero Benicia shuts down—on top of the 20% already gone from Marathon and ConocoPhillips closures. Let that sink in. We sat down with Mike Araiza, former Valero controller and petroleum expert, who breaks down exactly why California's refinery death spiral is creating a national security crisis. We're talking 40%+ of fuel coming from overseas (hello, Singapore, India, and countries buying Russian crude), maxed-out ports, military bases at risk, and gas prices heading to $8-12 per gallon by summer 2026. Meanwhile, Newsom's "solution"? Begging someone to buy refineries after 25 years of regulatory warfare, and throwing out 2,000 oil wells that'll have zero impact. The math doesn't math, folks. When you constrict supply while demand stays constant at 37-38 million gallons per day, what happens next? Arizona and Nevada get 50-88% of their fuel from California. The entire West Coast is one shipping disruption away from absolute chaos. Are we really going to virtue signal our way into fuel shortages and $10 gas while importing from countries with zero emission standards? This isn't speculation—it's basic economics meeting California's green agenda head-on. What's your breaking point?Drop a comment and let us know if you think this summer is going to be the wake-up call California desperately needs.

The university has not released an official statement explaining the deletion, but online discussions and news coverage point to it as an effort to scrub digital traces of Kharbouch during the ongoing FBI manhunt and investigation. His X (formerly Twitter) account has also been taken down, fueling theories of a cover-up by the university, media, or authorities to control the narrative around his pro-Palestine activism and alleged radical views. As of now, federal authorities have released images and a timeline of the suspect’s movements but have not publicly confirmed Kharbouch’s involvement, though some outlets report he has fled and remains at large with a $50,000 reward offered for information leading to his arrest. This is a summary of his (now deleted) manifesto: In Mustapha Kharbouch’s 2024 manifesto, “I Hear The Voice of My Ancestors Calling: From The Camps to The Campus,” published by the Institute for Palestine Studies, the author reflects on his role in the Brown University Gaza Solidarity Encampment amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza. As a third-generation stateless Palestinian refugee raised in Lebanon, Kharbouch draws from his family’s history of displacement during the 1948 Nakba to frame his activism. The piece begins with lyrics from an adapted “Ancestor Song,” symbolizing a call to action and intergenerational resilience. He describes participating in non-violent protests, including an eight-day hunger strike by 19 students, arrests of 61 comrades for demanding university divestment from apartheid and illegal occupation, and organizing encampments with hundreds of participants engaging in rallies, teach-ins, art, film screenings, and chants. Kharbouch explores themes of “radical love” for land and people in Gaza, collective grief over the genocide, and solidarity as a revolutionary practice rooted in Palestinian revolutionary traditions that reject colonialism, carcerality, and imperialism. He critiques passive hope, instead advocating for active, decolonial hope through community-building and bearing witness to atrocities, like the invasion of Rafah. Influenced by queer feminist approaches (citing scholars like Sarah Ihmoud and Robin Kelley), he emphasizes transforming anger and despair into sustainable world-making, while questioning intergenerational betrayal and the cynicism inherited from survival under oppression. Ultimately, the manifesto affirms the encampment’s role in a broader student rebellion, linking campus actions to global Palestinian liberation and calling for continued, unyielding commitment despite challenges. https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2001028141851013528?s=20 https://twitter.com/JamesHartline/status/2001090533746467327?s=20 https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/2001089445194235926?s=20 https://twitter.com/ProvidenceRIPD/status/2001345847133643062?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2001345847133643062%7Ctwgr%5E8764cf1453bd57445310069de900ad0f6828d697%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F12%2Fbreaking-providence-police-release-photos-person-proximity-brown%2F https://twitter.com/nypost/status/2001047137308590081?s=20 https://twitter.com/TheSCIF/status/2000985628029403418?s=20 https://twitter.com/amuse/status/2001347329585012818?s=20 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/2001000454042607728?s=20 DOGE Trump Suspends ‘Tech Prosperity Deal' With UK Over Censorship and Regulations by ‘Online Safety Bill' Hurting US Tech Companies  Trump has suspended the ‘Tech Prosperity Deal' with the UK over its censorship push.

TRUMP PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA In 1970, as National Security Advisor, Kissinger was briefed on and helped shape US oil import policies toward Venezuela following a visit by Venezuelan President Rafael Caldera. These policies, announced in June 1970, focused on long-term petroleum development and were positively received by Venezuela, but they represented unilateral US adjustments rather than a negotiated deal.  In 1972, Venezuela terminated a longstanding reciprocal trade agreement with the US that included concessional tariff rates on Venezuelan oil imports. Kissinger was informed of this as National Security Advisor, and the US considered maintaining low tariffs to avoid cost increases, but this was a termination process, not a new deal.   Venezuela effectively took control of oil fields and assets from US companies on two major occasions, though the processes involved nationalization and expropriation rather than outright theft without legal frameworks or compensation. These actions shifted operations from private foreign (including US) entities to state control under the Venezuelan government.In the 1970s, Venezuela nationalized its entire oil industry, which had been largely developed and operated by foreign companies since the early 20th century. On January 1, 1976, the government officially took over, creating the state-owned Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA). This affected major US firms like Exxon (formerly Standard Oil), Gulf Oil, and others, which had held concessions. The companies were provided compensation as part of the process, and it was generally seen as an expected transition in global oil politics at the time, without major disruptions to US supply. In 2007, under President Hugo Chávez, Venezuela escalated state control by mandating that foreign oil projects in the Orinoco Belt (a massive heavy oil reserve) convert to joint ventures where PDVSA held at least a 60% stake. Companies like Chevron complied, but ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips refused, leading to the government expropriating their assets. International arbitration tribunals later ruled these actions unlawful, awarding ExxonMobil about $1.6 billion and ConocoPhillips over $8 billion in compensation (though Venezuela has contested and delayed payments). This has been a point of ongoing tension, with US firms pursuing Venezuelan assets globally to enforce the awards. These events did not involve taking oil fields directly from the US government but from American corporations with investments in Venezuela, reflecting broader shifts toward resource nationalism. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2001087786879795546?s=20 War/Peace Zelensky: If Putin rejects peace plan, US must give us weapons The Ukrainian leader issued the warning as Russia said it would not drop its claims to land it believes to be its own  So Zelensky, NATO EU DS rewrote the plan knowing Russia wouldn’t accept it.  Source: thetimes.com Zelensky is stealing the election before it begins The overstaying Ukrainian leader has made a show of agreeing to hold a vote – but his preconditions make a mockery of it   The often-heard claim that Ukraine cannot hold presidential elections in wartime, by the way, is badly misleading, and a thoroughly politically motivated misrepresentation of the facts: In reality, the Ukrainian constitution only prohibits parliamentary elections in time of war. Elections for the presidency are impeded by ordinary laws which can, of course, easily and legally be changed by the majority which Zelensky controls in parliament. That is merely a question of political will, not legality.  Zelensky and his fixers are planning to shift the whole presidential election online.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth directed all War Department department heads and principal staff assistants to “take immediate action to recognize and reward [the] very best” of the department's civilian workforce with “meaningful monetary awards consistent with the relevant existing civilian awards authorities for each pay system,” according to a memorandum for senior Pentagon leadership first obtained by The Daily Wire. The distribution of bonuses — which could reach up to $25,000 — is also in line with the Trump administration's broader efforts to make the federal government function more like a private-sector business.

The massive 2010 sale of US uranium deposits to Russia approved by Hillary Clinton and rubber-stamped by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) – after figures linked to the deal donated to the Clinton Foundation? Turns out rank-and-file FBI investigators thought there was enough smoke to launch a criminal investigation, but internal delays and disagreements within the DOJ and FBI ultimately caused the inquiry to lapse, newly released records reveal.   The Uranium One transaction – involving the sale of a Canadian mining company with substantial U.S. uranium assets to Russia's state-owned nuclear firm Rosatom – became a flashpoint during Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign. Critics argued that then-Secretary of State Clinton, a member of CFIUS, helped approve the deal while donors connected to Uranium One made large contributions to the Clinton Foundation.  The newly released documents suggest that the circumstances surrounding Uranium One were never fully investigated, leaving unresolved questions about how a strategic U.S. asset came under Russian control – and whether potential criminal conduct went unexamined due to internal delays and legal disputes.

Ex-Marine planned attack in New Orleans that would ‘recreate’ Waco, officials say Plans to “carry out an attack” in New Orleans were thwarted after an ex-Marine was arrested while on the way to the Louisiana city with guns and body armor in the car, according to court documents obtained Tuesday by The Associated Press. Micah James Legnon, 28, was charged with threats in interstate commerce. Federal authorities said they had been surveilling Legnon due to ties to an extremist anti-capitalist and anti-government group. Four members of the group were arrested Friday in the Mojave Desert, east of Los Angeles, as they were rehearsing a foiled plot to set off bombs in Southern California on New Year's Eve, authorities said.  Legnon believed it was time to “recreate” Waco with an attack in New Orleans, authorities said in court documents. They pointed to a Dec. 4 chat message by Legnon written under the alias “Kateri The Witch” the day after Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrived in New Orleans. Legnon's alias had “she/her” written beside it, but jail records referred to Legnon as male.

If the Senate does not act before then, the bill dies and would need to be reintroduced in the next Congress.In practice, for time-sensitive legislation like the NDAA, the Senate typically votes shortly after the House (often within days or weeks) due to bipartisan urgency around defense authorizations, but this is not a requirement. https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/2001031213516304877?s=20 https://twitter.com/AGPamBondi/status/2000991371952357796?s=20   achievements will fail.

In fact, he admitted to having a “very possessive” personality. “No, she meant that I'm — you see, I don't drink alcohol. So everybody knows that — but I've often said that if I did, I'd have a very good chance of being an alcoholic. I have said that many times about myself, I do. It's a very possessive personality,” Trump told the Post. “I've said that many times about myself. I'm fortunate I'm not a drinker. If I did, I could very well, because I've said that — what's the word? Not possessive — possessive and addictive type personality. Oh, I've said it many times, many times before,” he added. Trump went on to tell the Post that he agrees the Vanity Fair article was a total hit job and Wiles's remarks were taken out of context.  .

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Stu Turley and Michael Tanner break down why U.S. drilling success still comes down to “location, location, location.” They analyze breakeven costs across major basins, rising LNG demand and natural gas prices, and the growing acceptance of natural gas as a “clean” fuel. The hosts discuss Pine Gate Renewables' bankruptcy, Orsted's mounting losses, and the ripple effects of inflation on ConocoPhillips' Willow project. They wrap with insights on rig counts, production strategies, and why smart investors are turning back to oil and gas for real returns.Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily Insights Want to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat Daily Standup, Michael Tanner breaks down contrasting oil market outlooks from ConocoPhillips CEO Ryan Lance, who challenges oversupply fears and projects a $70–$75 rebound, and Occidental CEO Vicki Hollub, who foresees a tighter $58–$62 range through 2026. Hollub also highlights natural gas growth driven by AI-powered data center demand. Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser reinforces this, asserting fossil fuels—not renewables—will fuel the AI revolution. Meanwhile, JPMorgan announces a $10B equity push into U.S. strategic industries, including energy resilience. Tanner sees volatility persisting amid geopolitical tensions and cooling oil prices, closing with a call to stay tuned for earnings season and investment insight.Subscribe to Our Substack For Daily InsightsWant to Add Oil & Gas To Your Portfolio?

The company says rising costs and a push for efficiency are behind the move, which comes despite the company posting nearly $2 billion in profits last quarter. We talk over what the news means for Houston.Also this hour: On the 125th anniversary of the deadliest natural disaster in American history, the 1900 Galveston hurricane, we reflect on that disaster led to the construction of the Galveston seawall and how it protects the island from storm surge more than a century later. Over the weekend, the seawall was awarded the world record for longest continuous walkway. Then, Meg Tapp from the Garden Club of Houston answers listeners' gardening questions.And the Texans dropped their season opener to the Rams on Sunday. We recap the game with Jeff Balke, co-host of the Bleav in Astros podcast..

Aux États-Unis, la production pétrolière bat des records, dépassant les 13 millions de barils par jour en 2024. Pourtant, les grandes compagnies annoncent des suppressions massives d'emplois et un recentrage stratégique. Un paradoxe qui illustre les tensions économiques, sociales et politiques du secteur. ConocoPhillips a récemment annoncé la suppression d'environ 3 000 postes, soit un quart de ses effectifs. Une décision qui n'est pas isolée. Chevron prévoit également de réduire de 15 à 20 % ses emplois d'ici 2026. Du côté des services parapétroliers, le leader SLB est lui aussi engagé dans une vaste réorganisation. Ces annonces interviennent alors même que les États-Unis confortent leur position de premier producteur mondial, devant l'Arabie saoudite et la Russie. À lire aussiPétrole: Chevron rachète Hess, un méga deal qui change la donne mondiale Produire plus, mais gagner moins Ce paradoxe s'explique d'abord par la baisse continue du prix du baril. Les volumes produits augmentent, mais si le prix unitaire chute, les marges s'effondrent mécaniquement. Dans ce contexte, les majors revoient leurs investissements à la baisse, d'autant que les coûts d'exploitation grimpent. Autre facteur: la vague de fusions-acquisitions qui a marqué le secteur. ExxonMobil a absorbé Pioneer, Chevron a repris Hess et ConocoPhillips a racheté Marathon. Ces opérations entraînent des synergies mais aussi des doublons, synonymes de suppressions d'emplois. Un secteur sous pression et à haut risque La stratégie de rigueur n'est pas sans conséquences. Sur le plan opérationnel, les coupes dans les effectifs pourraient faire perdre des compétences clés aux entreprises. Sur le plan social, certaines régions comme Houston, très dépendantes du pétrole, redoutent des tensions liées aux licenciements. Le secteur doit aussi composer avec les enjeux politiques et climatiques: produire plus tout en réduisant les émissions, un équilibre complexe et dépendant du pouvoir en place. Enfin, le risque financier reste majeur. L'OPEP+, qui régule l'offre mondiale, demeure l'arbitre du marché. Si l'organisation décide d'augmenter sa production, les marges américaines pourraient être encore plus fragilisées.

John D Rockefeller built his fortune refining oil and founding Standard Oil. A pioneer of the U.S. business trust, he helped shape the structure of the modern corporation. His influence lives on in companies like Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips, and in institutions like the Rockefeller Foundation. But not everyone saw him as a visionary. President Theodore Roosevelt branded the Rockefeller family a “malefactor of great wealth,” and Rockefeller's monopoly helped spark America's first antitrust laws. To some, he was a ruthless robber baron; to others, a generous philanthropist who gave away over $500 million. BBC business editor Simon Jack and journalist Zing Tsjeng unpack the contradictions of Rockefeller's empire.

En la edición de hoy del Radar Empresarial, abordamos los recientes rumores sobre una posible adquisición de BP por parte de Shell. Fue el miércoles cuando el diario The Wall Street Journal informó que ambas compañías estarían en conversaciones, aunque Shell negó inmediatamente estos comentarios, afirmando que “no hay negociaciones en marcha” y que se trata únicamente de especulaciones del mercado. A pesar de la negativa oficial, no es la primera vez que se menciona esta posibilidad. Ya en mayo, Bloomberg había publicado que Shell tenía interés en adquirir British Petroleum, aunque esperaba un momento más oportuno en función de la evolución del precio del crudo. Según ese informe, una de las razones sería aprovechar la debilidad actual de BP, cuyas acciones han caído alrededor de un 30 % en lo que va de año, y fortalecer su apuesta por los combustibles fósiles, sector en el que ambas empresas han enfocado esfuerzos recientemente. Si esta fusión llegara a concretarse, la nueva compañía tendría una capitalización de mercado cercana a los 300.000 millones de euros, lo que la convertiría en el mayor actor petrolero de Europa, capaz de competir más directamente con gigantes como ExxonMobil y Chevron. Actualmente, estas dos firmas estadounidenses tienen un valor bursátil que supera ampliamente al de Shell y BP, con Exxon rondando los 500.000 millones de euros y Chevron en torno a los 300.000 millones. Además, una posible fusión también dejaría atrás a TotalEnergies, que posee una capitalización de aproximadamente 120.000 millones. Otro factor clave es el contexto energético actual. Según la Administración de Información Energética de EE. UU., las reservas de petróleo disminuyeron en 5,8 millones de barriles en la semana del 20 de junio, mientras que la demanda alcanzó su nivel más alto desde 2021. Por último, Bloomberg destacaba que una compra de BP permitiría a Shell reforzar su presencia en Estados Unidos, un mercado donde perdió influencia tras vender sus activos en la Cuenca Pérmica a ConocoPhillips en 2021. Con la adquisición, recuperaría acceso a refinerías, oleoductos y terminales estratégicos.

“It's more than just getting data - it's about inspiring your organization to take action on it.” In this episode, host Andrew Geary talks with Adam Bucki, Co-Chair for the 4D Forum, held in Galveston, TX, in November 2024. The forum brought together geophysicists, engineers, and decision-makers to explore how 4D seismic can create value, reduce cycle times, and optimize production and injection in today's fast-moving energy landscape. Adam shares insights from keynotes, exciting tech advancements, and how the forum tackled the business and human side of getting 4D adopted across industries. KEY TAKEAWAYS > Real-world impact: Case studies from ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, and Chevron showcased how 4D seismic drives better decisions, from infill wells to carbon capture. > Tech meets people: New tools like FWI, fiber optics, and AI are exciting, but real change comes when people across companies are inspired to act on data. > Future-forward thinking: The forum highlighted the need for broader collaboration, especially with reservoir engineers, production teams, and management, to unlock 4D's full value. CALL TO ACTION Check out the 4D Forum abstracts on the SEG Library at https://library.seg.org/doi/book/10.1190/4D-Forum2024 to learn more about the tech, case studies, and ideas shaping the future of reservoir monitoring.

"Accessibility of subsurface data is key, especially as companies move along their digital maturity journey. A lot of valuable data is still locked up in boxes, not adding value." In this episode, Patrick Meroney urges geophysicists to align technology with business goals, advocate for innovation within their organizations, and pursue change strategically to drive long-term success. Patrick Meroney, Vice President of North American Operations at Katalyst Data Management, discusses the critical role of subsurface data management in geophysics and how aligning technology with business processes can drive success. Patrick highlights the challenges of digital transformation, the risks of overlooking business goals, and the importance of workflow integration in subsurface operations. Patrick also offers actionable advice for geophysicists on optimizing technology investments and balancing innovation with cost efficiency. KEY POINTS AND TAKEAWAYS > Align technology with business strategy: Many companies fail to align their technology decisions with business goals, leading to great technologies failing due to mismatched processes. > The power of integration: Patrick emphasizes that the biggest opportunity for efficiency gains lies in integrating data across geophysical workflows, which continues to be an ongoing challenge. > Digital transformation readiness: While digital transformation is critical for data accessibility and quality, companies must align it with their readiness and long-term strategy. > Prioritizing critical features: Geophysicists must focus on core business needs and avoid overly broad or niche requirements when selecting new technology solutions. > Innovation vs. efficiency: Companies must clearly define whether they prioritize innovation or efficiency, as this will impact their technology investments and integration efforts.

Harris has a history of holding big oil companies accountable for their actions, securing settlements with Chevron, BP, and ConocoPhillips over their mishandling of hazardous materials. This proactive approach to environmental justice has resonated with many young voters and environmental organizations. Harris's stance on environmental issues, coupled with her willingness to take on polluters, has positioned her as a candidate unafraid to tackle environmental and climate policy at its root, especially in holding polluters accountable. This contrasts with a more moderate policy approach seen in other candidates, including President Biden. Harris's commitment to environmental justice and her past actions as a prosecutor have garnered support from organizations like the Sunrise Movement and the Green New Deal Network. Despite some shifts in her stance, such as no longer supporting a ban on fracking, Harris's overall environmental platform is viewed as more progressive than that of other candidates. Her emphasis on environmental policy and her history of standing up to big oil companies have energized the environmental community and provided hope for stronger environmental protections in the future. Young voters and environmental activists are increasingly seeking more aggressive action on climate change, recognizing the severity of the climate crisis. In a podcast episode, it was highlighted that many young environmentalists and organizations view Kamala Harris as a candidate willing to take bold steps in tackling environmental and climate policy. Harris has a track record of going after big oil companies as a prosecutor and co-sponsoring the Green New Deal as a senator, demonstrating her commitment to holding polluters accountable. The Sunrise Movement, a youth-led organization advocating for government intervention on climate change, endorsed Harris due to her history of holding big oil accountable for their actions. This endorsement signifies the support of young voters for Harris's approach to environmental issues. Additionally, Harris's early career work as a district attorney in San Francisco, where she created an environmental justice unit, further showcases her dedication to addressing environmental concerns. Furthermore, Harris's settlements with major oil companies like Chevron, BP, and ConocoPhillips over their mishandling of hazardous materials demonstrate her willingness to take legal action against polluters. This proactive stance resonates with young voters and environmental activists who are looking for leaders unafraid to challenge powerful industries and prioritize environmental protection. Overall, the episode emphasizes that Harris is perceived as a candidate who is not only willing but also capable of taking decisive action on climate change and environmental policy. Her track record of holding polluters accountable and advocating for environmental justice aligns with the desires of young voters and activists for more aggressive measures to combat the climate crisis. One key takeaway from the podcast episode is the shift towards a focus on policy, especially environmental policy, in the upcoming election. The discussion highlights how Kamala Harris is being seen as a more progressive candidate on environmental issues compared to Biden. Harris's track record of holding big oil companies accountable and her co-sponsorship of the Green New Deal have garnered support from young environmentalists and organizations advocating for climate action. The episode emphasizes that while Biden has made some environmental wins, there is a growing sentiment among environmental activists that more needs to be done to address the severity of the climate crisis. Harris's proactive approach in prosecuting oil companies and her commitment to environmental justice have resonated with many who are looking for stronger action on climate change. The comparison between Harris and Biden in terms of environmental policy underscores a shift towards prioritizing candidates based on their stance on critical issues like climate change. Harris's willingness to confront polluters and push for stricter regulations sets her apart as a candidate unafraid to take on powerful interests in the fossil fuel industry. As the election approaches, the podcast suggests that the choice between candidates is increasingly framed by their environmental policies. Harris's evolution on issues like fracking and her commitment to progressive environmental platforms signal a potential shift towards more robust environmental protection measures if she were to be elected. Overall, the episode highlights the growing importance of environmental policy in the election discourse and positions Harris as a candidate who represents a more progressive stance on environmental issues compared to Biden. This shift towards prioritizing candidates based on their environmental commitments reflects a broader trend towards policy-focused decision-making in the upcoming election.
