Confidential docs obtained by Fieldnotes show Exxon is waging a campaign of misdirection to weaken rules on its hazardous ‘advanced recycling’ business. The oil giant’s congressional allies don’t want to talk about it.


Fieldnotes is a new watchdog organization that investigates the oil and gas industry.

Fieldnotes reveals how corporations, lobbyists, and dark money groups undermine the public interest and delay climate action. We provide journalists, advocates, and policymakers with rigorous investigative research and analysis that exposes industry malfeasance, corruption, and the inconvenient truths corporations and their allies prefer to keep behind closed doors.
