Exxon CEO Rips California Lawsuit: AG Bonta Is ‘More Interested in Soundbites than Sound Science’

EXCERPT:

WOODS: "Well, I think the attorney general’s agenda was made pretty clear to anybody that was watching your show when he was on. I mean, frankly, he didn’t know what he was talking about. He came in with, I think, a very hollow set of talking points, repeated them pretty consistently, but I think obvious to everybody watching that he was more interested in soundbites than sound science, and a lot more interested in attacking our company than attacking the problem of plastic waste. I think if the attorney general wants to do something for Californians and to improve the environment, he should work with companies like ExxonMobil, who have real solutions that are necessary to solve what is a very challenging problem, and focus less on firing up his anti-oil and gas base to advance his own political agenda. That's kind of how I see this playing out. He — they don't have a strong basis, the suit continues to be there. We’re obviously going to fight that.”
