NEW: Why are the people being paid to fix the problems DOGE created also taking money from Musk?
With @fminusing, we shed light on the lobbying firms that are working on behalf of entities harmed by DOGE and still representing Tesla at the same time.

1. Donald Trump promised that, as president, he would drastically lower Americans' energy bills.
But hundreds of Alabama residents are receiving a $100 surcharge on their energy bills as a direct result of Trump's actions in the White House.

#BigOil’s record-breaking lobbying hobbled key climate policies in California:
They spent a record-breaking $65.8 million lobbying in #California in 2023 & 2024, killing key clean energy & polluter pays bills.
Thanks @lizabio & @LastChance_CA

The oil industry spent more money fighting California’s climate policies last year than ever before, leaving taxpayers to foot the bill for disasters like the LA fires and accidents like the recent explosion in Martinez.

California’s oil and gas companies have starved California's budget of billions in taxes for decades, as the state was routinely forced to cut funding for firefighters.

Last year, the earth's forests, plants and soil suffered so much damage from #ClimateChange that they no longer served collectively as a carbon sink.
This is very bad news.
And it's an event not projected by climate models for 2023.

Climate change isn’t a tragedy, it’s a crime.
In the 1970s, Exxon scientists predicted global warming with “shocking accuracy,” but the company went on to spend millions lobbying against climate action.
Now we’re all paying the price.

Who is lobbying with whom, against what, and with what outcomes?
This article was five years in the making, built on a huge new dataset. Proud of the work by @ClimateDevLab scholars @GalenPHall and @trevordculhane, and really useful results.
