Bill de Blasio Wants to Bring ‘Death Knell’ to Oil Industry

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio appeared on “The Bernie Sanders Show” podcast yesterday where he said, “Let’s help bring the death knell to this industry that’s done so much harm.”

After comparing oil companies to the tobacco industry by saying they “systematically poisoned the Earth, knew about it, covered it up, explained it away, tried to hook people more and more on their product,” as posted on his website in a transcript.

Bloomberg added, “In addition to seeking damages from the industry, New York is winding down its $5 billion in New York City pension funds that are invested with oil and gas producers, de Blasio said.”
