Yes, BP your words ring hollow when in 1989 (!) you coordinated with Shell and Exxon "to cast doubt on climate science and lobby against efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions." We had time. Instead, you used it to make an obscene amount of money.https://www.climateliabilitynews.org/2018/04/05/climate-change-oil-companies-knew-shell-exxon/ …

Equivalent global pricing. Without that countries or individuals can simply secure cheaper energy by going to a place with zero or minimal tax.
Ah, well Washington doesn't have an income tax, yet we aren't over flooded with people from other states. I also remember reading a study about a tax in NY for the wealthy. Showed they wouldn't up and leave NY because other things tied them to home/place other than $$.

Tobacco companies: we oppose this regulation because it would hurt the economy and people's health! Smoking is actually good. Our way of regulating ourselves is the only way that will work. Just trust us. Oh, and here's a straw man and red herring. This is comical nonsense:pic.twitter.com/2MYNP4XGQS

What 1631 *would* have done, which is what BP was ultimately most scared of, is inspire similar legislation around the country that would have been harder and harder to fight. No wonder that outspent us almost 2:1.
