Description: Democratic Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib and Katie Porter question big oil CEOs during a House Oversight Committee hearing. Rashida Tlaib lays out the history of energy companies' lies about climate change and the environment and asks the CEO of Chevron where the $50 billion check is that she says is owed to communities around the world. Congresswoman Katie Porter uses bags of rice in the back of her van and M&Ms to illustrate the amount of land currently controlled by oil companies in America, and the limited investment made by these businesses in transitioning to renewable sources of energy like solar. In the debate over Joe Biden's infrastructure bill, politicians have been battling over action on climate change. Republican Donald Trump supporter Congressman Comer raises a false point of order following Tlaib's questioning that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez calls out.
