I think it would be more fun if they instead passed a law that said that anyone or any entity that sues fossil fuels companies must show that they have stopped using fossil fuels in their own lives. Maybe even as far as showing they are not using any plastics or one of the 700 products made with petroleum
Oklahoma bill would block climate change lawsuits against fossil fuel companies
A measure introduced in the legislature this year would prohibit anyone in Oklahoma from suing fossil fuel companies for damages related to the effects of climate change or greenhouse gas emissions.
Senate Bill 1439, which would create the Energy Security and Independence Act, was authored by Sen. Julie Daniels, R-Bartlesville, and Rep. Anthony Moore, R-Clinton.
Fossil fuel companies violating their permits or environmental laws are exempt from the bill’s language.
That’s reasonable
Moore said the legislation would protect the industry, which includes any company working with oil and gas, coal, natural gas liquids or refined petroleum products.
“The reality is, if you were to get that judgment, billions and billions of dollars, that’s just passed on to the taxpayer — that would be passed on at the pump, that would be passed on through electricity costs, energy costs across the board would dramatically change,” he said. “There’s no reason that that has any place in any court of law, but especially in Oklahoma.”
And the people filing the nuisance suits use lots of fossil fuels themselves.
Both authors of the Oklahoma bill say there is no statewide quantifiable impact of climate change or greenhouse gas emissions. Yet researchers with federal agencies and other organizations have estimated the U.S. is burdened with billions of dollars each year because of climate-related damages and costs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they’re just making numbers up. Maybe they should be sued for contributing to climate doom via their own use of fossil fuels.
Oklahoma! is a very sensible state, a place in which people recognize that you cannot tax corporations without those corporations simply pushing the expenses on to their customers.
Oklahoma consistently ranks in the States with lowest incomes
You might think their politicians would hsvecmore important things yo worry about
Must be that Dunning Kroger effect.
Vast Indian reservations skew stats about Oklahoma. Indian reservations typically have low employment, high petty crimes, and no productivity above gas station level. If you want a fair comparison of Oklahoma, you need to show reservations separately.
OK is in the top 10 States with highest suicide rates red state living is depressing
This indica gummies was a really pleasant marriage for a serene evening at home. The buds looked cool compact and well cared on with a wealth hint that wasn??™t overpowering. What stood out most was how smooth it was and how sing it burned from start to finish. The flavor had a nice strength to it without impression too heavy. Overall it felt like a solid dependable option towards anyone looking for a mellow and easygoing experience.
Oklahoma is always in the bottom 10 of states with lowest incomes. How does that represent making sensible choices?
Johnny-what does a state’s income or suicide rates have to do with blocking climate change lawsuits? Besides nothing…
Mr Dana commented on how “sensible” Oklahomans were. That doesn’t appear to be the case. After all, they sent MarkWayne Mullin to the Senate.
Another example of the Dunning Kroger effect” on the Rimjob.
BWAHA!
Before Reagan the majority of taxes came from businesses
Tehan changed that to individuals
Before Reagan companies would look at their books and see gross pretax profits. They would make a choice either give more money in taxes or reinvest in equipment and workers
