Oct 4, 202100:49:21Tap to summarizeThe latest episode of Erased deep-dives into Big Corporations and their fight against Pres. Joe Biden's climate agenda. Exxon has been spending a lot of money on ads, stating Biden's climate plans are a threat to energy jobs. Then there's Amazon, Apple, Disney, Google's Alphabet and Microsoft, who are paying lobbyists to either soften or oppose Biden's proposals, which are considered by leading Democrats as the most ambitious in the country's history. All this while these same companies say they are trying to implement sustainability goals, such as being carbon neutral by 2030. So what gives? Are these companies talking out of both sides of their collective mouths?
