Woods emphasized the importance of U.S. participation in global climate negotiations, citing potential disruptions caused by an exit. While Exxon plans significant investments in emission-reducing technologies, Woods warns that these efforts hinge on favorable federal tax incentives, which may be jeopardized by the new administration's policies. The oil and gas industry prepares for a volatile policy environment as Trump critiques prior climate actions.
