Koch heads the list

Among the most environmentally irresponsible, Koch heads the list.

Koch has been included in other comments posted here and Repower America offered the following:


Koch is responsible for over 300 oil spills in the U.S. and has leaked 3 million gallons of crude oil into fisheries and drinking waters.

That's just one example of what you'll find on KochIndustriesFacts.com -- a new website that pulls back the curtain on the winner of this year's Snake Oil Award from Repower America. I invite you to visit this website to learn more facts about Koch Industries.

Since we launched this website, supporters like you have been submitting new facts each day, and we've been posting them. Take a look at what we've made together.

Koch Industries is one of the biggest funders of groups that deny the science of climate change. Every day, Koch puts our planet's future at risk in order to keep the profits flowing from their oil pipelines and refineries.

But clean energy supporters like you can fight back. You can help Repower America spread the word about Koch Industries' shameful record.

Get the facts about Koch Industries and share them with your friends and family today.

In case you didn't get a chance to read it yet, I'm forwarding you a message from Dave Boundy about Koch Industries. Find out what you need to know about this company and its record of deception. Get the facts.

Thanks for standing up to the big oil companies and fighting for a clean energy future.




One thing is for certain: you're angry. When I tallied the votes for the 2010 Snake Oil Awards, I found myself nodding my head as I read your comments. Massey Energy, API, Koch Industries and BP America spew lies so they can pollute the air and line their pockets with profits.

Each of the four nominees received a large number of votes, but now it's time to announce the "winner" It's Koch Industries -- the notorious pipeline and refinery company that pours money into groups that defend the interests of big oil.

Find out more about Koch Industries here.

Here are the final vote totals for our four nominees:

Koch Industries: 5,552 votes (42%)
BP: 5,119 votes (39%)
API: 1,347 votes (10%)
Massey Energy: 1,216 votes (9%)

We set out to determine the worst offender so we could spread the word about this dirty energy company's history of pollution and lies.

That's why we made this site: KochIndustriesFacts.com

KochIndustriesFacts.com is a catalog of lies and environmental offenses by Koch Industries and its owners, the brothers Charles and David Koch. What we've listed on the site is just the beginning. Click around for a bit, and if you see something that's missing, make sure to let us know by submitting your own facts about Koch Industries.

Over the years, Koch Industries has spent nearly 50 million dollars funding climate change deniers, while running a very environmentally dangerous company at a high profit. So I'm sure there are new facts for you to add based on their long history of wrongdoing.

Can you help us spread the word about Koch Industries by sharing this website on Facebook and Twitter? Your help will go a long way in making sure Koch Industries is exposed to the American people.

Thanks for all that you do,
