The biggest climate bill in American history helped fuel heavy lobbying from chemical, oil and electric utility companies. Records disclosed to Congress showed that the American Chemistry Council came out on top by spending $19.8M - a 19% increase over 2021. The combined spending of three petroleum interests far outpaced that figure. Occidental Petroleum Corp., ConocoPhillips Co. and Exxon Mobil Corp. combined for $27.2M in spending - a 23% increase over 2021. Southern Co. spent the most of any electric utility, coming in at No. 5 with $9.2M. (E&E Daily 01/27/23) Top 10 lobbying spenders on energy, the environment - E&E News (eenews.net)
