API, Mike Sommers Sells Out the Oil Industry by Embracing CO2 Tax

Shame on the American Petroleum Institute (API) and its CEO Mike Sommers. They've just sold out the oil and gas industry by caving to pressure from their biggest donors (companies like Exxon, Shell and Chevron), embracing a universal carbon tax on the very product they all produce--oil and gas. API is sowing the seeds of its own destruction, but either the API (Big Oil) believes it can cheat death, or is too stupid to understand the end result of their actions. Embracing a carbon tax is terrible news for the shale industry. If you work for a company that belongs to the traitorous API, pressure your management to drop its membership NOW.
