In addition to funding Democratic mouthpieces, the fossil fuel companies behind Natural Allies also pour lots of money into spreading misinformation via ad placements in prominent newsletters
These natural gas ads are full of hot air
Gas companies say their clean energy claims are backed by science. They fail to mention the science is fossil fuel funded.

Ex: Natural Allies paid Congressman Tim Ryan $250,000 in 2023 for "public relations services," which included going on MSNBC and arguing that Democrats must embrace gas as a climate solution

(Ryan's affiliation with Natural Allies was not disclosed)
Tim Ryan is a paid fossil fuel mouthpiece
Public records reviewed by HEATED show Ryan received $250,000 in 2023 from a fossil fuel lobbying group to hype up methane gas.

For Democrats willing to promote fossil fuels as clean energy, the payoff is pretty nice

Other Dems who've joined Natural Allies receive anywhere from $180K - $250K per year. It doesn't appear to be a full-time job either.
Here’s how much Democrats get paid to shill for fossil fuels
Two former Democratic lawmakers made six-figure salaries for falsely promoting methane gas as a climate solution, tax documents seen by HEATED show.
