API Advocates for Destruction of the O&G Industry via Carbon Tax

We chalk this one up to the "With friends like this, who needs enemies?" department. The American Petroleum Institute (API) is receiving high praise from leftists for its open support of a plan to enact a so-called tax on carbon dioxide. The very products API's members make, oil and natural gas, are made from carbon and when burned, create carbon dioxide. (In fact, when all mammals exhale, they breathe out CO2. Don't get us started.) It's no secret that Big Oil--companies like Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, and others--have sold out to the environmental left in a deal with the devil which they think will keep them in business a few more years. In reality, they are sowing the seeds of their own destruction by embracing a carbon tax.
