The Rockefellers, along with other wealthy donors including the philanthropy of Michael Bloomberg, have provided millions of dollars in recent years to front-line environmental groups that are campaigning against fossil-fuel projects, including LNG terminals that have been proposed on the Gulf Coast, according to people familiar with the effort.
The billionaire-backed campaign, starting around four years ago, worked to identify and fund community leaders already campaigning against fossil-fuel projects. The activists buttonholed White House and federal officials in Washington, Houston and Dubai as part of a high-intensity grassroots campaign.
Some of the Rockefeller heirs have campaigned for years against Exxon Mobil, a successor to Standard Oil, the fossil-fuel monopoly founded by the Rockefeller patriarch.
In 2021, she gave representatives of the Funder Collaborative and the Hive Fund for Climate and Gender Justice, an organization funded in part by Amazon.com billionaire founder, Jeff Bezos, a tour of communities near fossil-fuel facilities. Her organization, the Vessel Project of Louisiana, received grants from these groups, as well as from Bloomberg Philanthropies' Beyond Petrochemicals campaign.
So the people who have benefitted the most from fossil fuels are now trying to stop it and make everyone else use wind/solar/cow farts for energy.
F them all!
