"Fossil Fuel Industry Ramps Up Anti-Divestment Strategy"

"During a breakfast he recently hosted in a K Street bar, American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers President Chet Thompson leaned forward in his seat and said his industry isn't sweating the fossil fuel divestment movement.

'Worried's not the right word,' said Thompson, whose member companies includes firms like Valero Energy Corp., Dow Chemical Co. and Husky Energy Inc. 'We're not worried, but we do think this is a part of a broader campaign.'

That unruffled demeanor isn't unusual among industry officials, who since the divestment effort urging investors to sell coal, oil and gas holdings began apace in 2014 have dismissed the boycott as politically motivated, symbolic and ultimately feeble."
