The organization pulling the strings behind the climate litigation campaign is now using its political power to convince government leaders to write legislation that targets U.S. energy companies, while giving a free pass to large state-owned companies overseas.

After several stinging defeats in the courtroom, the Rockefellers have debuted a new strategy to undermine American energy security, this time working with a group of U.S. senators to propose a tax that would have a few energy companies pay for climate change impacts, The New York Times reported on Wednesday:
