TotalEnergies CEO encourages Trump not to roll back climate change regulations: report

Total's CEO (of which I am a long-standing shareholder) should concern himself with Total's and with France's own significant worries. The US election is NOT about him.

And since he wants to be a politician, how does he like what his Macron guy said. "Nationalism is the opposite of Democracy".

Does our Total CEO believe that?

Oh, how about an environmental question for him. Does he know that lithium, which is meant to be used for imposing electric vehicles upon us, is NOT a renewable resource. Try working on that before lecturing us on anything...

Translation: "We've worked hard to payoff the establishment dolts so that we can be the ones 'benefiting' from the regulations we've paid to craft. If you undo that, it will disrupt the new monopoly we've formed to extract money from everyone under the guise of "green" framework. It will be chaos. I won't be able to afford my new Aspen ski chalet!"

trump says President Biden passed "industry killing rules" that will "kill domestic oil & gas production" and that the U.S. is somehow "not energy independent". Here are the simple and easily verifiable facts. The U.S. is currently:

1. The #1 oil producer on the planet, with record production of 13.4 million bpd
2. The #1 LNG exporter on the planet under Biden.
3. The #1 NGLs producer on the planet with growing propane & butane exports.
4. Considering all imports & exports, the U.S. *** is *** energy independent by an estimated ~3 million boe/d. Those who understand how much energy is in a single boe know that this is a *massive* amount of energy independence.

So, trump and the republicans were just as wrong on his energy false narrative as they were on their prediction that President Biden would somehow cause the "stock market to crash". As is typically the case with trump, the facts are exactly the opposite here as well: the DJIA, S&P500, and Nasdaq-100 have all hit record high after record high this year.

How can such a non fact-based person, who doesn't even believe in basic science, is a convicted felon, and led the Jan 6th coup-attempt on the U.S. Capital to install himself as dictator-for-life possibly be in the running for president of this great country? (!) I find this incredibly sad, quite pathetic, and very, very dangerous (at least to those of us who actually understand and value American Democracy, the rule-of-law, and the U.S. Constitution).
