Leaked Playbook Shows How Big Oil Fights Clean Energy
December 5, 2014
When it comes to curtailing carbon emissions, California leads the way. Its policies promoting clean energy and zero-emission vehicles are the most comprehensive of any state, and have strong public support.
Of course, there's one group that's not very happy about these developments: the oil industry.
A leaked Powerpoint deck now circulating among climate activists--a copy of which was sent to Bloomberg Businessweek -- details a plan by the oil lobby to derail California's clean-energy legislation.
Created by the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) -- a powerful lobbying group for the oil and gas industries -- it comes from a November 11 presentation to the Washington Research Council.
The presentation details plans to raise opposition to environmental measures in California, as well as Oregon and Washington states.
