PPA

Description

PPA unites oil CEOs who wield iron control over petroleum profits, their pricing tactics exploding into White House fury as Hoynes—calling out old friends in the packed briefing room—blasts them for price gouging amid skyrocketing fuel costs and clean air standard defenses. CHRIS's pointed accusation slices through the tension, met by Hoynes' wry concession to their profit mastery, casting PPA as the administration's oil industry foil where personal ties snap under political heat and Toby's wary gaze sharpens suspicions of ambition-fueled theater.
