[with the current ‘reworking’ of conflicts related to fossil fuel extraction and supplies, I thought this historic map was somewhat topical, and indicates the ongoing/continued huge reach of the massive oil companies/corporations]

States Propose Holding Oil Companies Accountable for Rising Property Insurance Costs

As property insurance premiums soar due to increasing natural disasters, some U.S. states are exploring legislation to hold oil companies responsible for climate-related damages. In California, Hawaii, and New York, Democratic lawmakers have introduced bills that would allow state attorneys general or insurance companies to sue fossil fuel companies to recover costs associated with wildfires, floods, and hurricanes. While none of these measures have yet become law, they reflect growing concern over insurers withdrawing from high-risk areas and the rising reliance on state-backed insurance programs. The proposed bills follow broader trends in which states and municipalities sue fossil fuel companies for their role in climate change, using legal frameworks similar to those that successfully targeted tobacco companies for deceptive practices. These initiatives face strong opposition from oil companies and conservative groups, who argue that federal regulations protect them from state liability. Advocates counter that fossil fuel companies knowingly contributed to climate disasters while profiting, leaving taxpayers to shoulder the financial burden. The debate highlights the intersection of climate accountability, insurance industry pressures, and the challenges of addressing the economic impacts of climate change at the state level.

Where are the profits of the war going ?

With the rise in oil prices, the profits of extractive companies surge—and a significant share ends up funneled through tax havens. But it’s not too late to tax war profiteers effectively.

„The U.S. produces more oil than it needs; it is a net exporter of oil and petroleum products. Problems in the Strait need not change the amount of oil produced in the U.S., nor the cost of pumping oil in the U.S., nor the amount of gasoline produced and used in the U.S.

But when prices recently increased for oil internationally, U.S. oil companies also raised prices stateside.“

You know what would drive down the price of oil other than sending more warships from different countries to escort ships because of Trump’s ‘I had a feeling’ war?
Contesting the stock markets that set the price of oil to benefit companies’ shareholders. Force markets to deal with reality.
Only 25% of oil routes through Persian Gulf. The rest unaffected, and not in peril.
