“Oil hasn't reached the profit rates of tech companies” is an absurd defense of staggering windfall profits in fossil fuels.

The 8 largest fossil fuel companies pocketed an extra $6.5 billion in the first quarter of 2026. I urge governments to tax these windfall profits & use the revenue to support vulnerable families & communities, and accelerate the shift to clean, affordable energy. #FossilFuelTax #WindfallProfits #CleanEnergy #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthetweet.
