Did Russian Trolls Try To Meddle In Energy Markets?

Congress ready to look into the possibility that Russian Trolls were advertising on the "Green" side.

May have taken ads on social media to sway American public opinion against fossil fuel.

Now why would they want to do that ?

And who in America would support this effort by Russian Trolls ?

Hmmm

Did Russian Trolls Try To Meddle In Energy Markets? Congress Wants To Look Into It

The House science committee has specifically requested information on the source of ads related to “so-called green initiatives,” the source of advertisements on Facebook related renewable and nonrenewable energy, and all information related to any activity from a foreign entity involvement in the US energy sector.

Facebook, Twitter and Alphabet (the parent company of Google) are in talks to provide information to the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee for another investigation on Russian meddling in US politics, according to a spokesperson for the committee.

The chairman of the committee, Representative Lamar Smith, sent letters to the companies in September requesting information related to Russian entities purchasing anti-fracking and anti-fossil fuel advertisements on the social media platforms.

It all sounds like a Soros gig ... +++

Russian trolls turned my butter sour.

Bastards are screwing everything!

Whooaa just catched a Russian troll wanna see it ?

For what I understand they don't try to meddle in the energy market but to stir the pot in any controversial topic that may generate civil unrest, like pipelines destroying sacred Indian grounds, or fracking having negative consequence.

The Russian ciberwar department don't push a particular view point, they just go for whatever mess America more.

Damn Ruskies are for America using renewable energy and were for supporting the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. If I didn't know better, I'd think they were Democrats.

The nerve of them.......
