BP: Top funders of ALEC

   August 9, 2011


Off-shore drilling is a coming to Florida. You can count on it. The fix is in. BP and other oil companies were big sponsors of the annual meeting of American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) that was recently held in New Orleans, according to ThinkProgress.com. ALEC “helps” the lawmakers write their bills for their states.

ALEC has fought any limits on offshore drilling and global warming denial. Besides BP, other oil and natural gas companies funding the ALEC conference include:

Chevron
ExxonMobil
Shell
Koch Industries
McMoran Exploration
Atmos Energy
Chesapeake Energy
ConocoPhillips
Encana
Energy Transfer
QEP Resources
Spectra Energy
