The nine Democrats selected by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to serve on the Select Committee on the Climate Crisis received a combined $198,000 from fossil fuel industry political action committees in the 2018 election cycle.

Energy companies love environmental restrictions. It gives them the ability/excuse to charge more and produce less.
Short supplies = higher prices without increasing production.
I’d bet THIS clown got a few bucks as well.
