In his comments Tuesday, Woods argued the “dirty secret” is that customers weren’t willing to pay for the added cost of cleaner fossil fuels.
Referring to carbon capture, Woods said Exxon has “tabled proposals” with governments “to get out there and start down this path using existing technology.”
“People can’t afford it, and governments around the world rightly know that their constituents will have real concerns,” he added.
“So we’ve got to find a way to get the cost down to grow the utility of the solution, and make it more available and more affordable, so that you can begin the [clean energy] transition.”
For example, he said Exxon “could, today, make sustainable aviation fuel for the airline business. But the airline companies can’t afford to pay.”
I would say that he’s probably mostly in touch with reality. He just doesn’t care that he’s hurting people and destroying the planet because he personally profits from it.
“got mine, fuck you—and your children and children’s children, too.”
“… and also fuck my own children and their descendants.”
That’s the bit that puzzles me, but I guess the answer is either
I would say Number 1. Rich people live in a completely different world than us plebs.

The reality being that he’s above the law and will never want for any material goods the rest of his life.
