The U.S. oil industry is lobbying for the Biden to go soft on Russian sanctions despite Ukraine invasion. "Sanctions should be as targeted as possible in order to limit potential harm" to U.S. companies, said the American Petroleum Institute.
Why are college students living rent-free in oil industry lobbyists' heads?
Maybe because the movement to make it clear that fossil fuel investment is immoral and illegal is winning — and they know it.
Today, students at Yale, Princeton, MIT, Stanford, and Vanderbilt launched a coordinated legal campaign to force their schools to divest from fossil fuels -- a move that could not only set new precedent for the 5 colleges, but all institutional investors. https://t.co/WOm71OJLeG
