When the Rockefeller Foundation launched a high-profile campaign last month to support climate solutions, the move gained attention for two reasons: the $1 billion-plus size of the pledge and the name attached to it.
The Rockefeller name has been synonymous with the oil industry since John D. Rockefeller, Sr.’s Standard Oil Company became the dominant source of petroleum in the U.S. around the turn of the 20th century.
