Heated: Exxon scientist says the company knew its algae biofuel ads were BS

If you read, watched, or listened to any news in 2018 and 2019, you almost certainly came across Exxon’s ads for algae biofuel.....They were everywhere.. They all promoted the idea that Exxon was helping to solve climate change by turning green algae into a renewable, sustainable fuel source that could one day replace petroleum. Between 2017 and 2019, the company spent $60 million airing just three algae commercials, including during the World Series and NBA championships. These ads have already faced a ton of scrutiny and accusations of greenwashing. And by 2023, Exxon had pulled its funding for algae research entirely, acknowledging that they could not hit the targets they had promised. But now, newly reported sworn testimony by an Exxon scientist shows that Exxon always knew its algae biofuel ads were complete bullshit — at least, well before they aired most of these ads.
