Video clips released by Greenpeace show Keith McCoy, the oil giant’s senior director for federal relations, talking frankly about Exxon Mobil’s lobbying strategies. He talked about working with “shadow groups,” supporting a carbon tax that he believes will never happen and influencing senators to weaken climate elements of President Biden’s infrastructure plan. It’s hardly surprising that Exxon Mobil Chairman and CEO Darren Woods said that McCoy’s comments don’t represent his company’s views, but McCoy’s profile on the site showed he was still employed at the company as of last Thursday morning. If you think I’m being too hard on Exxon, google its history re climate change.
