From Wednesday May 28 to Sunday June 1st, tune into the Weather & Climate Livestream: 100 Hours to Save America’s Forecasts, a community effort celebrating the nation’s climate scientists and meteorologists under attack by the Trump regime.

Without further ado, the corporations publicly backing the One Big Brutal Bill (OBBB), a multi-trillion-dollar omnibus of climate injustice. The list was helpfully compiled by House Whip Tom “Rememmer, Rememmer The Fifth of Novemmer” Emmer (R-Minn.).

Corporate America has always been selfish and short-sighted, and the fossil-fuel industry has always been dominated by right-wing extremism, but we’re also seeing the culmination of the modern era that began in the 1990s under Newt Gingrich, Tom Delay, and Jack Abramoff, who engineered the takeover of corporate lobbying by ideological Republican operatives.¹

There was clear opposition to the bill from the offshore wind trade group Oceantic Network, saying the bill “worsens our national energy crisis and will directly harm Americans,” and the Solar Energy Industries Association, which said the bill “will effectively dismantle the most successful industrial onshoring effort in U.S. history.”

In contrast, Jason Grumet from the lobbying arm of the “clean” energy industry, the American Clean Power Association, could only muster “The legislation advanced today out of House Ways and Means does not deliver an orderly phase-down of clean energy tax credits.”

1  When Gingrich took control of the House in 1994, Tom Delay and Abramoff instituted the “K Street Project” to ensure that only lobbyists who were loyal Republican contributors would get access. Trade association reps who came from their industries learned to toe the line or were replaced by Republican staffers.

2  Some of the letters of support confuse the OBBB with H.Con.Res. 14, which was the concurrent resolution which passed Congress in April. H.Con.Res.14 established the budgetary framework for the Big Brutal Bill, which belatedly received the bill number H.R. 1.

3  On the second page of her letter of support, the NSSGA’s CEO (a former Republican staffer) is “concerned” about the repeal of the “federal program focused on low-embodied carbon labeling for construction materials.”
