Big Oil, Big Chemical, Big Coal

Big Oil is often associated with the fossil fuels lobby and also used to refer to the industry as a whole in a pejorative or derogatory manner. Big Oil is a name used to describe the world’s six or seven largest publicly traded and investor-owned oil and gas companies, also known as supermajors. The term, particularly in the United States, emphasizes their economic power and influence on politics. – Wikipedia

Big Chemical dominates the chemical industry.[1] “We are convinced there are more than ample science to raise serious concerns over rising herbicide use and exposure, yet not nearly enough is being done to either dismiss such concerns or study them in a meaningful way. People think global warming is the biggest threat, but it’s not. This is.” – Paul Winchester, Medical Director of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Franciscan St. Francis Health Care in Indianapolis. (2017)[2] Source: Wikispooks

“It’s the pesticide merchants and GMO companies…they are the real decision makers. They use lobbyists to shape national policy by buying politicians. It’s this corruption that subverts the EPA. I am not a prophet, but I can see a very dark future if we fail to ban glyphosate and all other neurotoxins and carcinogens in our food and natural world.” – Evaggelos Vallianatos, long time EPA scientist (2017)[3]

 

Coal is a nonrenewable fossil fuel that is combusted and used to generate electricity. Mining techniques and combustion are both dangerous to miners and hazardous to the environment; however, coal accounts for about half of the electricity generation in the United States. – National Geographic

We’re paying the price. Using fossil fuels for energy has exacted an enormous toll on humanity and the environment.” – NRDC.org
