...and they continue to this day, mostly through the spread of disinformation, paying for false or misleading "scientific" reports, and heavily paid lobbyists, some of which made their names working to fool the publuc about the harms of cigarettes.

Even today, they are working hard to keep fossil fuels in the mix by promoting the lie that Hydrogen can only be made through the use of fossil fuels, when the bulk of the world is focusing their efforts on building a "Green Hydrogen" economy that uses no fossil fuels, and emits no greenhouse gases either in it's production or use. The technology is there, it's already in use, and we are being fooled into believing it doesn't exist.

One day, soon hopefully, the American public will stop being fooled by the misinformation and will see that we are dangerously giving away our nation's energy security if we don't catch up with the rest of the world and start building out an energy economy to replace CO2-emitting fossil fuels.
