Tom Steyer in The Hill 2020s

On Energy & Oil: When I realized the threat of fossil fuels, I divested

Billionaire activist and 2020 presidential candidate Tom Steyer on Sunday defended his past investments in fossil fuels. Steyer was asked on ABC's "This Week" about the investments his hedge fund had made in fossil fuels, though he has more recently spent millions of dollars to fight climate change. "In our business, we invested in every part of the economy, including fossil fuels," he said. "When I realized what a threat this was, I changed. I divested from all that stuff."
