All through the primary two episodes of “The Energy of Huge Oil,” FRONTLINE went contained in the fossil gas trade’s efforts within the Nineteen Eighties, Nineties and 2000s to stall motion on local weather change by cultivating denial and doubt.
The third and closing episode of the sequence brings the story as much as the current.
“Delay,” half three of “The Energy of Huge Oil,” investigates how, even because the warnings about local weather change grew, the U.S. reemerged as one of many world’s largest oil and gasoline producers, and the fossil gas trade labored to delay the transition to renewable vitality sources — together with by selling pure gasoline as a cleaner different. However because the nation was getting into a gasoline growth, a former Exxon Mobil engineer tells FRONTLINE that the trade wasn’t monitoring for methane leaks that would turbo-charge the local weather disaster.
Because it brings the Huge Oil sequence to an in depth, “Delay” unpacks the Obama, Trump and Biden administrations’ actions on local weather change; explores what might occur subsequent; and examines what’s at stake.
