firenze sage–Pocahontas [aka Sen. Elizabeth Warren] gets fossil fuel wampum

Pocahontas — aka Sen. Elizabeth Warren –gets fossil fuel wampum.

For many years, Sen. Warren   receives money from a  gas producer.    Sen. Warren has expressed views that gas producers harm the planet. What she has to say about fossil fuels.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren received royalty payments in 2017 from one of the largest natural gas producers in the nation, according to tax return documents her campaign released Wednesday.

Warren received $121 in royalty payments in 2017 from Chesapeake Operating, LLC, a subsidiary company of Chesapeake Energy, according to her tax return. Chesapeake is the second-largest natural gas producer in the nation behind Exxon Mobil and is the most active driller of new gas wells in the country.

Warren called out major oil companies, including Exxon, Shell and BP for raking in billions in profits, during a 2015 speech before climate and labor activist where she stressed that government regulation of the energy industry was necessary to prevent companies from “dumping filth in the river or spewing poisons in the air.”

Notably absent from her speech was mention of Chesapeake, which operates nearly 23,000 oil and natural gas wells across the country. The company signs lease agreements with landowners prior to opening a new drill site and pays royalties to leaseholders, like Warren, typically as a percentage of the revenue earned from the sale of the gas drilled.

Warrenâ€s financial ties to Chesapeake date back to before her entrance to the Senate in 2013, according to her tax returns.
