Exxon lobbying quietly for a U.S. carbon tax
ExxonMobil is quietly lobbying for the U.S. to adopt a carbon tax, both in Washington circles and at the American Petroleum Institute.
For years a denier of climate change, the company is facing probes in New York and Massachusetts over whether it hid its understanding of a link between climate change and the burning of oil and gas. Exxon also has an eye on coming government initiatives to battle climate change that could be more intrusive than a carbon tax.
The Wall Street Journal reports that ExxonMobil has been lobbying members of the U.S. Congress to implement a carbon tax, believing it to be the least painful tool to deal with greenhouse gas emissions.
It is also trying to get that message across inside the American Petroleum Institute and American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, where many other oil and gas producers believe the most effective strategy is to keep denying the link between burning fossil fuels and climate change.
