Exxon’s $60 billion deal to buy Pioneer and Chevron’s $53 billion tie-up with Hess sends a clear message to investors: The world may be shifting to clean energy, but big oil is doubling down on fossil fuel.
"There's going to be an energy transition, but it's going to be a lot longer, it's going to be a lot tougher, and it's going to be a lot more expensive," Wells Fargo senior energy analyst Roger Read warned on Yahoo Finance Live. "And if you look at that aspect of it, it speaks to why you would invest in oil and why Exxon would do this transaction.
The gradual decline is a result of a "disconnect between the developing and developed world," Greg Beard, who was Apollo Global Management’s Head of Energy for over a decade, told Yahoo Finance. "In the transition to greener energies, we are still going to need oil and natural gas for some time… this basically ensures that those assets will be developed in a way that's cleaner and with a lower production cost," Essner said. "By combining companies, they’re able to rapidly increase shareholder buybacks and dividends… which the free market can ultimately invest in green technologies."Dozens of elephants mysteriously dropped dead in Zimbabwe.
