Protect energy policy from big oil
USA Today - Friday, February 25, 2005
In spite of resounding international concern about climate change, the Bush administration appears partial to energy policy prescriptions of the front groups backed by ExxonMobil and the American Petroleum Institute.
The conflict of interest between oil corporations and energy policy mirrors the conflict between big tobacco corporations and health policy.
In the face of the Bush administration's opposition, the global tobacco treaty includes measures to protect health policy from interference by tobacco corporations, their subsidiaries and affiliates in countries that ratify. We need a similar regulation to protect energy policies from big oil.
