Healing the planet: In an effort to help Massachusetts warmist Ed Markey, California billionaire Tom Steyer pays for a fossil-fueled plane to circle near Fenway Park dragging a banner reading “Steve Lynch for Oil Evil Empire”

Did billionaire’s spending sway the MA Senate primary?

Steyer’s NextGen political action committee spent $630,000 on a combination of grassroots organizing and public relations gimmicks, such as having a plane circle near Fenway Park the day the Red Sox played for the first time earlier this month, dragging a banner reading “Steve Lynch for Oil Evil Empire.”

Steyer made much of his money in oil . In particular, he is founder of Farallon Capital Management, and reportedly left the fund-”which had invested in a range of oil and pipeline companies, including BP, Nexen and Kinder Morgan, as well as an oil-carrying railway”-because those investments were at odds with his new-found environmental commitments.
