Cylvia Hayes is the fiancee of Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber who recently resigned. One of Hayes' green associates, (5th parag. from end) Clean Economy Development Center (CEDC), mentions her funding by fossil fuel billionaire Rockefeller Brothers:
2/6/15, "Statement Regarding Cylvia Hayes' Fellowship"
"Cylvia Hayes’ relationship with CEDC
Cylvia Hayes was at no point on the payroll of CEDC. 3E Strategies, Hayes’ consulting firm, provided a portion of Cylvia’s time for CEDC’s regional acceleration fellowship. Hayes’ fellowship was funded by two foundations, Rockefeller Brothers Foundation and the Energy Foundation, in 2011 and 2012. All payments from CEDC were made to 3E Strategies."

2/13/15, "Oregon's Lady MacBeth," Daily Beast, Olivia Nuzzi
"The Oregonian reported that Hayes “was trained by former Vice President Al Gore to lecture on climate change,” but there are no details about what, exactly, that means.
..
Hayes founded a environmental policy consulting firm, 3EStrategies, first as a nonprofit. In 2009 it became a for-profit company."...

Bill McKibben and 350.org are also backed by fossil fuel billions of Rockefeller Brothers:
4/21/11, “1Sky and 350.org: Stronger as One,” rbf.org, Rockefeller Brothers Fund," Jessica Bailey
“This month marked the exciting marriage of 1Sky and 350.org—two grantees of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund’s Sustainable Development program….
The announcement to merge 1Sky and 350.org—two of the biggest movements on climate—into a single organization under the banner of 350.org, gives me hope that we just might build a people-powered movement strong enough to protect this planet. 1Sky and 350.org were born around the same time and involved many of the same leaders. Bill McKibben, who has been a 1Sky board member and will chair the new 350.org board….1Sky was founded to support ambitious environmental action in the United States that would keep emissions targets to scientifically defendable levels, stop new coal-fired power plants, and build a green economy strong enough to create five million new green jobs."...

Exxon was created from John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company:
“A Guide to the ExxonMobil Historical Collection, 1790-2004: Part 1,” University of Texas at Austin
“With the merger of Exxon and Mobil in 1999, the newly formed Exxon Mobil Corporation brought together a shared history that dates back over 120 years to their origins as part of the Standard Oil family of companies.
John D. Rockefeller and partners formed the Standard Oil Company of Ohio in 1870.”…

"The bottom line is that America's carbon emissions may drop back close
to 1990 levels this year. That result would have been thought
impossible, even at the end of 2011.
But the shale gas revolution makes a reality many things recently thought impossible. It was thought impossible to slash carbon US carbon emissions back to 1990 levels by 2012. It was thought impossible to massively, quickly cut carbon emissions and, at the same time, have lower energy bills.
Shale gas production has slashed carbon emissions and saved consumers more than $100 billion per year. Truly astonishing!"

2/13/15, "Oregon’s Kitzhaber resigns amid scandal," Politico, Jonathan Topaz
"Hayes had been the subject of several damning reports for months that alleged she earned about $200,000 on contracts closely tied to her work in Kitzhaber’s cabinet, mostly on clean energy policy, which the governor’s administration had made a priority.
She conceded last month that she earned $118,000 over two years from the Clean Economy Development Center while she was advising the governor on energy policy. In October, the alt-weekly Willamette Week reported that Hayes received $85,000 or more in consulting contracts for work related to her duties in the administration. And last week, released emails showed that Hayes lobbied for Oregon to implement an initiative from a policy group that had already given her a $25,000 contract.
Other reports have indicated that Hayes had not filed all of her earnings from the contracts with the Internal Revenue Service.
The first lady had already been under scrutiny after embarrassing reports in October that she both accepted money to enter into an illegal marriage and participated in a plan to illegally grow marijuana on a property in Washington state in the 1990s.
A Williamette Week report Thursday cited email requests from Kitzhaber’s executive assistant, Jan Murdock, that state officials delete emails from Kitzhaber’s personal account from the state server. The request came as the governor was already under an open inquiry from a state ethics commission. Officials refused to comply with the request, according to the report."...
