Robert Bryce identifies the culprits behind the war on natural gas:

    According to the latest report from Guidestar, [Climate Imperative] took in $221 million in its first full year of operation. … That means that Climate Imperative, which is less than three years old, is already taking in more cash than the Sierra Club…

    [T]he effort to “electrify everything” and ban the use of natural gas in homes and businesses – and that includes gas stoves — is part of a years-long, lavishly funded campaign that is being bankrolled by some of the world’s richest people.

Like who?

    A source with knowledge of [Climate Imperative’s] funding told me this week that the majority of the money is coming from [Silicon Valley venture capitalist John] Doerr and [Laurene Powell] Jobs. Forbes magazine estimates that Doerr has a net worth of $12.7 billion. Forbes puts Jobs’ net worth at $17.7 billion.
