The blue state of Hawaii is suing oil companies over climate change, but for some strange reason they have exempted one refinery that has executives who give a lot of cash to Democrats. What an odd coincidence.
The entire conversation about climate change should have ended the instant that leftists began targeting Teslas and Tesla dealerships over DOGE. It proved that the left doesn’t really care about this issue, they just want what they want.
The lawyers for the oil companies will surely point this out, if they’re smart.
Hawaii Sues Oil Industry for Causing Climate Change—But Spares State’s Largest Refiner Whose Executives Donate to Dems
The State of Hawaii filed a major lawsuit against a dozen major oil companies and the nation’s largest oil industry group, accusing them of marketing and selling products that have caused higher temperatures, increased sea levels, more frequent flooding, coastal erosion, and more intense heat waves.
But Hawaii’s sprawling complaint—which prosecutors hope will force oil industry defendants to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in damages—excluded Houston-based Par Pacific and its subsidiary Par Hawaii, the oil company that operates Hawaii’s sole petroleum refinery and remains the state’s leading supplier of gasoline and jet fuel. That means prosecutors spared a company that is likely the single largest driver of the emissions in the state.

Those pineapples don’t have any “standing”.
Stop sending oil to Hawaii. Let’s see how fast they change their minds.
Just stop jet fuel for 60 days. I can hear the wailing and gnashing all ready!
FTA: increased sea levels?
Are the beaches of Hawaii under water?
No they are not. Case dismissed!
Alberta for Hawaii!
Although I’m legally a WA stat resident. I own a house in Hawaii and my wife is a resident.
Hawaii is as rock hard Democrat as you can get and just as Democrat stupid.
If fuel prices drop too much they will raise fuel taxes, which BTW never go back down.
The voters in Hawaii are so stupid they don’t have a clue what the Democrat party has done to their economic system.
Nor do they care. INOKEA!
Y’all can’t fix stupid, all you can do is work around it like I did.
If we could get Alberta to join the Union, we could give Hawaii back to the descendants of Kamehameha. And we wouldn’t even have to change the flag. 😛
“we could give Hawaii back to the descendants of Kamehameha”
Bad news for you most Hawaiian citizens are Chinese, Japanese, Micronesian, or European white.
The locals here are for the most part are so intermixed
You’d just be giving it back to us.
Maybe Trump can ban all oil and gas shipments to Hawaii. After all I don’t see how they can cry about it when they are using it.
An Island state that relies on tourism, fuel shipped in for jets and ships, and has no nuclear power plant would be a third world state after six months. Of course Trump would exclude the military from the ban.
“Sea levels” <— Lex Luthor was right.
New Mexico has become “Hawaii without beaches.”
Does not surprise me 1 bit.
Cease all oil/gasoline shipments to Hawaii.
It never WAS about the environment!
