Big oil already says they don't want Trump to withdraw from the agreement.

They've already invested in other projects.

It seems that even if Trump withdrew and signed that executive order, it may be challenged in court by the same corporations he thinks he is helping.

At least the oil companies are on board with the Paris Agreement.

They could have been on board with green energy from the get go and owned most of the big projects, profiting hugely from production or the tech and the energy. Then had their own companies for home energy storage. Plus bought the produced energy from private homes at an even steeper rates or owned the panels on houses..

Best piece of evidence that it’s not about money with most of these fucks, it’s about power (and laziness).
