Holding Big Oil Accountable for Extortion, Collusion, and Pollution | Natural Resources Roundtable

On Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. ET, U.S. House Natural Resources Committee Democrats will host a roundtable discussion with Members of Congress and expert panelists titled, “Holding Big Oil Accountable for Extortion, Collusion, and Pollution.” Roundtable panelists will discuss recent reporting that Big Oil colluded with OPEC to pad their profits by raising energy prices for Americans, efforts by House Republicans to mirror Trump's Project 2025 in their latest policy proposals, the impacts on American communities, and how Congress can support the American people by holding Big Oil accountable for its extortion, collusion, and pollution.
