Very strongly agree

Yes, their promotional campaigns deliberately mislead the public to hide their catastrophic impact on the climate crisis

Agree

Yes, but only ban corporate greenwashing campaigns that falsely portray major polluters as eco-friendly

While the Greens strongly support banning greenwashing, they typically advocate for a more comprehensive ban on all fossil fuel product advertising, making this 'only' restriction a more moderate stance than their official policy.

Very strongly disagree

Very strongly disagree

No, treating essential energy providers like criminal cartels is a dangerous attack on free speech

Very strongly disagree

No, companies have a constitutional right to promote legal, essential energy products without government censorship
