The founders of the Center for Biological Diversity are amassing wealth at the expense of American renewable energy projects – and it’s all funded by the taxpayers! CBD has filed 249 lawsuits against the Government, halting energy projects across the nation. Their aggressive tactics have led to a staggering growth – their annual budgets […]

When Jack Abramoff and Karl Rove’s protege starts an organization dedicated to “responsible” anything, you know something is off. That is precisely the case behind “Citizens for Responsible Solar.” Susan Ralston, a former top staffer in Karl Rove’s White House, started this astroturf organization and is using it to block solar energy projects through […]

The American Coalition on Ocean Protection: Protecting the Whales or Protecting Oil and Gas Interests? You decide.
David Stevenson started the Coalition for Ocean Protection and even claimed he wanted to save the whales. Still, Stevenson has made his career advancing far-right-wing policy positions and even serves on the Board of Policy Advisors of the Heartland Institute. The Heartland Institute is one of the most prominent right-wing think-tanks that has spread […]
CBD promoted World Vasectomy Day in a series of cartoons with slogans like “Wildlife give thanks, cause I’m shooting blanks.” “Advocates say it’s time for men to play a role, and vasectomies – where the vas deferens is shut to block the movement of sperm are seen as the most effective strategy. “We want to […]

Citizens for Responsible Solar, Karl Rove, Jack Abramoff. If you think these guys are for renewables, we’ve got a bridge to sell you…
Citizens for Responsible Solar was set up by Karl Rove’s top lieutenant, Susan Ralston. While she was standing up the Citizens for Responsible Solar front group, fossil fuel investors opposed to solar energy were funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars to Ralston’s personal consulting firm. Ralston is infamous for influence peddling. Did Ralston learn from her mentor Jack Abramoff?
Stevenson claims that he’s trying to save the whales – one of ACOP’s big goals is to save the North American Right Whale from extinction. But earlier this year, his real motives became clear, when WBUR, Massachusetts Public Radio reported on a study from the Brown University Climate Development Lab that the American Coalition for Ocean Protection was part of a “panoply of anti-renewable organizations” working in a “coordinated effort to combat the threat of offshore wind to the fossil fuel industry.”

CBD took a 3 million dollar PPP loan…and still hasn’t paid it back even with tens of millions in its bank account.
When times are tough for millions of Americans, it’s still important that the sue and settle money printing machine at CBD stays up and running. That’s why CBD applied for and accepted a $3 million Paycheck Protection loan during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. You read that right, the American taxpayers bailed out CBD to the tune of […]
CBD says they are focused on protecting animals and wildlife, but in 2024 alone, they’ve endorsed 9 different pro-choice ballot initiatives. This isn’t anything new for CBD. In fact it’s part of a pattern of questionable behavior: Take donor money under the guise of saving owls, funnel it out to pay top executives, or send […]
