For the record we are pro-oil and gas, not pro-ExxonMobil, we neither support nor disfavor the changes that Engine No. 1 are suggesting to Exxon’s board, we are simply putting together context so that our readers can understand what a move like this would put into play for the largest oil and gas company in the world. The changes could be far reaching and cost countries that are in the Paris Accord billions if not trillions of dollars to support to energy transition in less fortunate countries. Our take on this is that if we want to push for energy transition then we should start in countries that could immediately benefit from it first.
