Billionaire Funders Behind LNG Pause

How the Rockefellers and Billionaire Donors Pressured Biden on LNG Exports (WSJ)
Benoît Morenne, Andrew Restuccia (Feb. 08): Four years ago, charities controlled by the Rockefellers, Michael Bloomberg, etc. began to identify and fund Gulf Coast activists that were campaigning against USLNG export projects. The activists subsequently buttonholed White House and federal officials around the world in a high-intensity grassroots effort to stop the approval process for new LNG projects. “They got our attention,” a senior official said, describing the campaign as intense… The billionaire’s effort, called “The Funder Collaborative” began with a memo in 2019 to NGOs to assess interest in a broad campaign to take on the LNG industry… Did it succeed? A few days after Biden announced the pause on new LNG export licenses, the Rockefeller Family Fund’s Sarah Brennan celebrated the win: “The pause… is the result of a sustained four-year push that built upon years of opposition to gas exports by community groups and lawyers,” she wrote in an email to e-NGOs.
