Dear Colin and Angela,

.
I have written you before (July 25, 2016, subject: S.1460 is blind to advancing
technologies and referenced Stanford economist Tony Sebas talk June 8 when
he received the 2017 Sunshine Award by Clean Energy Action in Boulder, CO.
titled Clean Disruption - Energy & Transportation (Bit.ly/Seba8Jun17).
.
Today, I would like to emphasize my earlier warnings that S.1460 should be
considered D.O.A. (dead on arrival) when it comes to the Senate Floor, if ever.
.
Following is a set of visuals from Sebas March 17, 2016, talk at the Nordic Energy
Summit in Oslo, Norway titled CLEAN DISRUPTION: Why Conventional Energy
and Transportation will be Obsolete by 2030 (Bit.ly/Seba17Mar16a).
.

IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO WATCH AND LISTEN TO TONY SEBA, YOU
WILL UNDERSTAND THAT S.1460 IS IRRESPONSIBLE IN IT'S IMPLICIT
ASSUMPTION THAT PETROLEUM IS THE FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF
THE U.S. ENERGY PORTFOLIO, TURNING A BLIND EYE TO REALITY.
.
I copy ExxonMobil executives and board member because I have been imploring
that premier executive teamwho in their ExxonMobil Perspectives blog support
UNFCCC COPto initiate leadership to change course and lead the entire global
petroleum industry in winding down operations and production of liquid fuels
consistent with the 195-nation COP 1.5C aspiration. I have implored the Senate
Energy and Natural Resources Committee to call ExxonMobil and its global
colleagues to testify how they will behave in the face of debt default, insolvency
and bankruptcy. Please convene and discuss how Americans interests can be
maximized as the petroleum industry becomes history in the next two decades.
.
Sincerely yours,
.
Doug Grandt
