  6. #FossilFuel firms spent millions on #US lawmakers who sponsored #antiprotest bills

    About 60% of #OilAndGasIndustry operations protected from protest due to money spent on lobbying, says #Greenpeace USA report

    "Fossil fuel companies have spent millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign donations to state lawmakers who sponsored anti-protest laws – which now shield about 60% of US gas and oil operations from protest and civil disobedience, according to a new report from Greenpeace USA.

    "Eighteen states including #Montana, #Ohio, #Georgia, #Louisiana, #WestVirginia and the #Dakotas have enacted sweeping anti-protest laws which boost penalties for trespass near so-called critical infrastructure, that make it far riskier for communities to oppose pipelines and other fossil fuel projects that threaten their land, water and the global climate.

    "Another four states have enacted narrower versions of the same law, but which could still be exploited to issue trumped-up charges against peaceful protesters. Many were based on a 'model bill' promoted by the industry-funded American Legislative Exchange Council (Alec).

    "According to the report, nine of the top 10 companies that lobbied most for anti-protest bills since 2017 are fossil fuel companies, including US companies #ExxonMobil, #KochIndustries and #MarathonPetroleum, as well as Canadian companies #Enbridge and #TCEnergy (#TransCanada).

    "In addition, 25 fossil fuel and energy companies have contributed more than $5m to state anti-protest bill sponsors in this timeframe, data from political finance trackers #OpenSecrets and #FollowTheMoney shows."

  11. " #Banks Must Divest From the Coastal GasLink #Pipeline — or #Hollywood Might Divest From Them"

    #RoyalBankofCanada ( #RBC) is on notice from a group of #culture figures over its ongoing financing of #FossilFuel projects, particularly #Transcanada's (now renamed #TCEnergy) #CoastalGasLink pipeline. The open letter points to the violations of #Indigenous rights and lands, as well as environmental harm.
