Left’s New Strategy: Buy O&G Companies, Force Them to “Go Green”

The left is insidious--and relentless. They thought they had a winning issue with so-called ESG, or Environment, Social, and Governance. Basically, what the left means by ESG is don't invest in or use fossil fuel energy (E), everything is racist (S), and the government is always right when Democrats are in charge (G). One of the main pushers of the ESG agenda has been BlackRock, the biggest investment firm in the world with nearly $10 trillion under management. Recently Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, said he would no longer use the term ESG because he's losing business (see Unrepentant BlackRock Won’t Use ESG Term, Still Forces Divestment). However, he will still push an ESG agenda, hiding his true purpose by using other language. However, leftists don't like to remain in hiding. So they now have a new strategy: Just buy oil and gas companies and FORCE them to "go green" (i.e., stop drilling for oil and gas).
