OIL companies that bankrolled a US$9.7 million effort in 2014 to block laws against fracking in California now are focusing their sights on Tom Steyer, the billionaire hedge-fund founder turned climate-change activist.
The top individual political donor in the US last year, Mr Steyer has put millions of his US$2.7 billion personal fortune into the cause, hired Governor Jerry Brown's former top spokesman and challenged Chevron Corp chief executive John Watson to a public debate on petrol prices.
