Since I can't throw a stone without hitting someone who's talking about this (I work in oil and gas), what do you think about Hegar's insistence that companies (BlackRock) who work to lower emissions, etc are hurting the industry? I can't help but feel like that's a stretch and there must be a point in the middle. Thoughts?

I find it ridiculous because one day whether it's now or later, that is going to matter. How are we saving ourselves by waiting until it gets worse instead of taking precautions now.

I also work in all energy types (transactional).

Hegar’s stance is dumb. First, they do invest in traditionals in Texas. Second, Texas has benefited greatly from renewables (we are #1 in wind and #2 in solar).

This is the part that really confused me. None of the evidence or numbers back up Hegar's ideas.

It’s ridiculous and nonsensical. Despite an interest in ESG blackrock has invested over $100 billion in texas energy companies. Embarrassing how our state govt continues to make a show of pandering to the O&G lobby. Hegar is up for re-election in November——time to vote him out.
