that's literally how lobbying works and same is being applied to spread misinformation against renewable energy projects.
- qcnguy 1y agoNo it's not. Lobbying works like this: someone pays someone else to advocate for some issue rather than doing it directly. Lobbying doesn't work like this: someone donates to someone else for reason A, who hires a lawyer for some unrelated reason B, and that lawyer has totally different customers who have hired them for reason C.
