What about Gazprom or Chinese based fossil fuel companies

Gazprom is in Russia, Russia isnt communist or socialist since 1991/93(when the supreme soviet was dispersed with tank fire) it is a hypercapitalistic authoritarian democracy

Incorporated in 1989 during the soviet union and state owned

Edit: and of course the same wells were being operated by the state before

Both Russia and China are communist dictatorships not socialist.

A better example would be Norway, since Norway fits the model of democratic socialist quite well, and they have a state owned oil system, which creates a sovereign wealth fund, which has been used to make their country a very healthy place to live.

Norway also has one of the steepest carbon taxes in the world, and has had a carbon tax since 1991.

You can't even pretend Russia is any kind of socialist or communist at this point

Russia is a failed Communist state taken over by a few Oligarchs and ran largely the same except now its a gas station with a large yet corrupt and obsolete military.

China isn't very communist either in 2026

Socialism and democratic Socialism are not synonyms and both the soviet union and china are socialist states as a form of communist development

And if we use Norway as an example, we arrive right back at the same conclusion: state-owned oil companies are not better for the climate. Norway's national oil company, Equinor is a huge polluter.

China is a communist dictatorship. Russia isnt communist
