Their CEO mentions the Bakken Shale, and their strategy of making their investments based on putting proven reserves up as collateral. So we're talking bets on extracting and shipping all those reserves. Questions for Hillary:
Do you think that we should stop changing the climate now or at some unspecified later date?
Given your financier's interests, is it fair to assume that you support the use of eminent domain against Iowans to push through the Bakken pipeline?
Given that we should stop changing the climate (eventually) do you think that expanding fossil fuels infrastructure is a legitimate public interest?
Given that you avow that we should stop changing the climate (eventually) do you think that the world's "proven reserves" can all be monetized?
If all the world's proven reserves cannot be monetized, what does that mean for capital funds like FSEP?
Will you be discussing these matters with anyone at FSEP?
