When it comes to fighting California’s ambitious agenda for curbing the use of fossil fuels, the state’s oil and gas industry is putting its money where its mouth is.
In the first quarter of 2021, the industry spent more than $4.3 million on lobbying, a significant portion of it to oppose legislation that would bolster the state’s progress toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions, impose tighter regulations for industrial accidents and ensure justice for communities most impacted by pollution and climate change.
Nine companies or associations spent more than $100,000 lobbying in the quarter, including the California Independent Petroleum Association (CIPA). Two of them Chevron and the Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA) spent more than $1 million. The vast majority of oil and gas companies in the state are represented by either WSPA or CIPA.
