The Energy and Environment Legal Institute (E&E Legal) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization currently led by three veterans of fossil fuel industry campaigns against climate science: Steve Milloy, Craig Richardson, and Greg Walcher.
E&E Legal, formerly the American Tradition Institute, has engaged in litigation and policy research to “hold accountable those who seek destructive government regulation that’s based on agenda-driven policy making, junk science, and hysteria.” The organization has received money from the coal industry. Specifically, it was revealed in documents filed as part of the bankruptcy process by both Arch Coal and Alpha Natural Resources, two of the largest coal producers in the country.
E&E Legal’s website at one time stated it “is part of a broader network of groups with close ties to energy interests that have long fought greenhouse gas regulation,” although that text has now been removed.

The Energy and Environment Legal Institute (E&E Legal) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization currently led by three veterans of fossil fuel industry campaigns against climate science: Steve Milloy, Craig Richardson, and Greg Walcher.
E&E Legal, formerly the American Tradition Institute, has engaged in litigation and policy research to “hold accountable those who seek destructive government regulation that’s based on agenda-driven policy making, junk science, and hysteria.” The organization has received money from the coal industry.

E&E Legal’s website at one time stated it “is part of a broader network of groups with close ties to energy interests that have long fought greenhouse gas regulation,” although that text has now been removed.
E&E Legal’s senior leadership has ties to fossil fuel interests as well: David Schnare, a fossil fuel-funded pundit with connections to the Heartland Institute, State Policy Network, and other front groups; Chris Horner, a fossil fuel-funded climate denier who works at the Competitive Enterprise Institute. The Competitive Enterprise Institute is an advocacy group with ties to tobacco and global warming disinformation campaigns.
