@GavinBade based on your article on the oil industry vs the electric car back in 2019 politico.com/story/2019/09/… let me know if you want to talk, what I found is the same patterns going back to 1967

It's great to see my dossier of oil and gas trade associations lobbying against solar, wind and EVs since 1967 is now published and a resource available to all
e.g academics @ClimateSSN @leahstokes
e.g journalists @emorwee @amywestervelt
e.g civil society @350 @fossilfreeLDN

💥A NEW report from @InfluenceMap identifies the misleading narratives that the oil & gas industry associations have been using for decades in a systematic effort to oppose, weaken and delay the energy transition. Read the full report: influencemap.org/briefing/Under…

Que maravilla ver mi investigacion sobre el lobby de las petroleras contra las renovables y los coches electricos desde 1967 con cobertura en El Pais

“They’re against technology and progress when it’s a rival technology, and very happy to be leading technology companies in their own fossil fuel technologies,” said Kenner. “They’d like time to stop, and [for society] to just carry on using oil and gas. But you can’t stop time"

In a now-infamous interview with Fortune, Exxon CEO Darren Woods claimed society has “waited too long” to fund solutions. But new evidence from researcher @dariokenner shows Big Oil has spent decades lobbying to stall the growth of clean energy tech exxonknews.org/p/to-see-big-o…

My new research highlights the limitations of the debate about if oil and gas companies will invest in solar & wind energy and EV charge points. They have lobbied against this tech for decades.
Investor "engagement" on climate action is doomed to fail

Recently the Exxon CEO blamed the public for slow climate action. But he forgot to mention the role of the oil and gas industry in lobbying to help shape the energy system to run mainly on oil and gas, thus trapping consumers into buying their product

The academic literature generally finds that when incumbents struggle to incorporate a new rival technology they usually lobby against it to try and kill the competition.
This is what oil & gas industry has done as they have $$$ sunk investments in wells, rigs refineries etc
English
Since the 1960s the oil and gas industry has lobbied to undermine governments policy coordination, investment and national infrastructure that would enable a faster nationwide uptake of renewable energy and electric vehicles

@PHellermann @PeterJNewell_ @guardian @sus_pol @SussexGlobal @CGPE_Sussex @ClimateSSN Thank you for sharing it! Yes full info should be available soon

@PeterJNewell_ @dariokenner @guardian @sus_pol @SussexGlobal @CGPE_Sussex I shared this on Mastodon this morning and it’s been getting a lot of traction there! Just wondering whether there’s a published report on this yet, @dariokenner? Wanted to share it with @ClimateSSN though imagine you are a member already

Important research from Sussex colleague @dariokenner exposing how the oil industry has spent the last 50 years undermining alternatives to fossil fuels. Featured in today’s @guardian @sus_pol @SussexGlobal @CGPE_Sussex theguardian.com/environment/20…

dario kenner, the academic who carried out the analysis, argues that the evidence of lobbying shows debates over an individual oil company’s green investments are irrelevant when in trade groups they have consistently undermined the same technologies 6/
English
My new research shows asking oil companies to invest in renewable energy and EV charging is asking the WRONG actor to do the WRONG thing
Ajit Niranjan@NiranjanAjit
oil companies that claim to be key players in the energy transition have spent half a century lobbying not just against climate action - which is well-documented - but also against specific clean technologies that threaten their business model 1/ theguardian.com/environment/20…
