Senior Climate Adviser to the White House, John Podesta, praised the oil and gas industry and defended its continued development in recent comments to the Guardian:
“The US is now the number one producer of oil and gas in the world, the number one exporter of natural gas, and that’s a good thing, because following the illegal invasion of Ukraine, and the need that Europe had to rely on different sources rather than Russia fossils, it was important that the US could step up and supply a good deal of the need.”
